Walt is an all class guy with a deep love of pins and doing the very best by others. I will absolutely be doing business with him again, as I've seen no one in the craft or hobby with his kindness, his attention to detail, his level of expertise, or just love of the craft.» Read moreHe hooked me up with a clean Grail of mine, and his love for everything pinball was refreshing and contagious. Every detail of his work was damn near perfect, and he packaged everything cleanly and highly professionally, which made loading and unloading a breeze.
Walt is gonna be the first guy I look to do business with from now on, even if I have to drive 12-14 hours for the privilege.

I first went to Walt's shop about two weeks ago to check out the Apollo 13 machine he had. Being a newbie here, I wasn't sure what to expect but Walt had me won over in about 120 seconds.» Read moreFirst of all, Walt's shop is sparkling and spotless and just brimming with machines and parts that he keeps extremely organized. And then when we started to talk I understood very quickly that not only did he understand the mechanics of all of the machines he had there, but he took a real craftsman's pride in the work that he puts into refurbishing each of them. It's not enough for Walt to get a machine just right, he wants them to be PERFECT.
And the Apollo 13 machine was literally perfect. It was not only spectacular on the outside - every angle, every part, every aspect of it - it was gleaming. And then he opened the coin box and showed the inside of the machine to me with great pride coming from his smile.
A second trip back to show my son the machine left us both giggling with excitement and we then made the purchase.
The game arrived home late last week (thanks Gene) and all I can say is WOW.
And I have to tell you folks that I saw every one of the other machines that Walt currently has for sale and it's taking a lot to not want every one of them. They are all literally perfect.
So going forward, I found my guy to buy machines from. I would have no concerns whatsoever of buying anything from Walt because as far as I am concerned, you don't get to appreciate the offerings of true craftsmen too much any more...and Walt is that in every way.
Thanks Walt.

I could not have had a better experience buying a large ticket item from a stranger at the time, I read his feedback and felt comfortable moving forward to meet him.

We had great conversation and he is a genuinely great person, not sure what» Read moremore I can say without any one thinking he was family it is just a breath of fresh air to meet new people like Walter, I could’ve hung out with him all day and I am sure he would’ve enjoyed that as well, buy with confidence this man is so dedicated to his craft and is more than fair. You really need to see his work upfront to understand how detailed he is. He had 40 year old machines that looked and played like brand new.

I had a smooth and easy transaction with Wally, everything went as you'd expect and hope it to go. Would definitely deal with him again. And while I wasn't buying one of his restored older games, we did walk and talk around his shop for a while and "WOW!" is what I have to say about those. Some of the nicest looking restorations I've» Read moreever seen.

Wally sure does great work. This machine is even better than he described. I know the price is crazy, but man, it is absolutely beautiful and better than when it came off the assembly line. Wally is so easy to work with. He explains why he did things to the machine, he explains the upgrades to the machine and why» Read moreits priced the way it's priced. He is great working with you to do the shipping. This machine was packaged better than any machine I've ever received. Which was needed to ship it all the way to Atlanta. He was great to work with and this is probably not the last machine I'll buy from him. I would highly recommend you buy from him as well (just not the machines that I want).

Wow, where do I start. At first I was completely shocked that Wally wasn't asking for a ridiculous price for this game (like everybody else does on Pinside). But then when I reached out to him, he was amazing to work with. He indicated that I had responded to his ad first, therefore the game was mine until I backed out or took too long. He was very loyal to this as I know many people reached out to him and tried to buy it.» Read moreFurther, Wally was very easy to talk to and describe the machine and what all he had done to it and what the condition of the machine was. He talked about how the machine didn't have any blemishes, to which I was a bit skeptical. Well, I'm happy to report that he undersold this. This machine is immaculate. I inspected it with a fine-tooth comb and couldn't find anything wrong with it. I also want to point out, Wally did a great job of packaging the game. He wrapped it and put a moving blanket between the head and the glass and wrapped it even before the shipping company wrapped it.
So, this machine was extremely well packaged. I would absolutely buy from Wally again, and I'm actually going to tag him so that I get a notification every time he puts a game up for sell because he sells them at reasonable prices and you know they will be in better condition than he tells you. Overall, what a great experience buying from Wally.

Wally is the Best. His restoration work is amazing. The game exceeded my expectations. Amazing shape inside and out. I am beyond impressed.» Read moreWally is also awesome to deal with. I had some car trouble and he really helped me out getting the machine home. He also showed me what he’s done with other machines; a mini tour. What a fantastic set up; every machine had the same level of detail and care in its resto. The whole buying experience was great; I even learned some stuff as a new pinball enthusiast.
You cannot go wrong doing business with Wally. You’ll get a game in better shape than you can imagine from an awesome guy. If I ever find space or funds for more pins, I’ll check with Wally first and likely only.
11/10. Thanks Wally; loving the game!
