Even better than I expected!

“Robert sent this out asap. Looked like the box took a hit to one of the corners while in transit, but thanks to Robert's awesome packaging, it came out of the box perfect. Nicely cut and router work on this lamp panel. Super happy with this purchase.
Thanks Robert.”

This is second machine purchased. Even after deal was sealed, new minty legs were added by seller so that was impressively unexpected. An outstanding YouTube video was provided of a very detailed professional testing of machine (not saying this is the norm tho).» Read moreBuyers helpful notes:
- Be prepared to use sellers shipper (may only been due to timing of my second purchase)
- My bank only supports in person cashiers checks and wires. No app for that. Seller limited to those two types of payment
- Seller is limited on forms of communications but you just send that email and you will absolutely get a reply
- Have patience and you will be rewarded
Would I buy again? You can absolutely freaking bet this is where the best of vintage machines come from.

Its not how you start ---its how you finish.» Read moreThe true test of a professional is what do they do when things take an unexpected turn or two.
I am very much a beginner at pinball machines. Played many--repaired zero.
I purchase a very beautiful 8 ball deluxe from Robert. After arrival, it had some odd things happening.
Robert was extremely responsive ---all the way through sending videos, emails, pictures, etc and diagnosing the issue. Turns out a wire was causing an issue.
Turned into blessing in disguise as i got training on how to diagnose an issue and what to do. Even learned what tools to buy, how to solder, multi meter usage, etc.
Robert is a pro and stands by his work.
Its not how you start....its how you finish...Robert finishes very strong and I would buy again from him.
I was leery of buying a pin from out of state to be shipped, but took a leap of faith based on previous feedback. I was blown away by Robert's attention to detail in packing and shipping the game. He messaged me all the shipping details as well as videos of all the game diagnostics before it was packed. The game» Read morearrived at the local Pilot Freight terminal safely and was as described. I absolutely would buy from Robert again.

“Robert did an absolutely wonderful job restoring the 1987 Big Guns pinball machine I purchased from him. The machine looks almost brand new. Amazing. Robert was always responsive to my questions and is obviously incredibly knowledgeable as to Pinball and Pinball restorations. I would definitely do business with him again.”
