About

Vintage Pin Works was founded in 2014 to preserve the art of classic pinball. Our activities are split into three main goals:

• Catalog and preserve the beauty of existing vintage tables. This involves going to various pinball expos, tradeshows, and proprietorships to photograph their tables (with owner permission, of course) and learn more about the history behind each table. Then, we take that history and share it out with the community through blog posts and prints.
• Restore and refurbish original tables. A lot of refurbishment these days is done either to make a quick buck or through a painstaking search for original parts. We try to find the middle ground here, especially since classic parts are a dwindling resource. Our restoration style maintains an authentic spirit, but we don’t shy away from modern touches.
• Build a new generation of classics. This part of the plan is a bit longer term, but it is crucial to carrying on the pinball legacy. We will build all new hand made classics leveraging real wood playfields, traditional chime-based sounds, and classic target oriented gameplay. Of course, it won’t be without some thoughtful modern touches, but you’ll just have to wait and see what we have up our sleeves.
