Over the years I have been making several Pinball Refinery Editions of lots of different titles of pinball machines. So, I decided to start 1 thread to show my machines in progress and others that have purchased them, so post pictures of your machines on this thread. Some of these machines are being currently made and some machines are from the past. This way everyone can see them. All of my machines have lots of custom upgrades added to them from powder coating to custom painted figures to lighting effects which enhances the game play and many other upgrades.

I'm taking order for current titles and I will have some Iron Maiden machines very soon to show.

I just finished a Refinery Edition of a Guardian of the Galaxy LE (before and after) and a Batman 66 Premium....

Thanks everyone for your support and business throughout the years,

Quoted from colonel_caverne:

Nice GOTG but the backbox edges do not fit with the rest of the purple armor

Actually the back box t-molding trim matches the rest of the machine's trim (leg bolts, screws, coin door plastics, and shooter rod)..... This is the look that I was going for on this one.

I want that Sparky for my MET

No Problem.... I can have my painter, custom paint your Sparky if you want him done. She does amazing work. Here's another one similar to the one on that PR machine.

Yes...It's one stop shopping. You order your NIB machine from me or I'll find a HUO machine and then I do all of the customizations to it from start to finish. Then re-box the machine up, ship it out and you'll get a full custom plug-and-play machine right to your door.

#27 5 years ago
Quoted from colonel_caverne:

The blue armor of the Spidey is really great. I have seen one for sale here with the perfect same blue as the cabinet, it was so nice too.
If I found one, i would like the blue sky armor. Just a question: is it possible or not to light them like you did on Tron?

Thanks... the powder coating is a great match for Spiderman. As for the EL panel the one for Spiderman would be too oddly of a shape for it to work.

#33 5 years ago

Sure... not a problem. Just call or PM me about the chrome ball shoot rods....

I'll be posting some pictures of the Star Wars Premium tomorrow. It all finished.

Also anyone looking for a NIB Pinball Refinery Edition of Metallica. I have both Pros and Premiums in stock and ready to be upgraded.

Quoted from TenaciousT:

Steve - Please put up some pic's of the custom Matrix pin you did . Saw it at MPE and was blown away with it !

This is not a Pinball Refinery machine, just a full customized machine and is NOT available. If I post any pictures, everyone will want it and ask me a million questions about it and I just don't have the time to answer

#50 5 years ago

More Pinball Refinery machines are in the works...

Quoted from Tuna_Delight:

Are those exterior LED strips along the top of the Refinery GB's cabinet sides? If so, do they interact with gameplay like undercab lights or are they constantly lit once the game is turned on?

Yes, these UV LED exterior side rails are powder coated to match the machine and they are game interactive as well. It's awesome on GB....

Quoted from drained:

I finally joined club MET with a fantastic Refinery Edition from Steve. My non-pinball friends are blown away, and they don't have a stock machine to compare it with. I picked MET as my favorite music pin and am very happy I with a NIB Refinery Edition. Very special one in my collection now. It has been worth the wait. I am dreaming pinball again.

Thanks for posting about your new PR Metallica Premium machine that you purchased from me... It was my pleasure doing these upgrades for you.

Quoted from WolfManCat:

I played a TWD refinery model at New York New York in Las Vegas. It was very nice. Wish I had taken pics.

I've heard about this machine... The original owner was in California and sold it. Somehow it made it's way to New York, New York hotel arcade in Las Vegas... Someday I'll have to stop out there and see it.

That TWD made me decide to buy my own a couple years back.

That is so cool to hear this..... Actually I just finished up another new The Walking Dead for a customer. It is shipping out next week so someone is going to be surprised to see what Santa left them on Christmas.

Here are a few pictures of this machine.

My customer and I talked about the burning barn but he decided that it might be a little bit too much for the look he wanted. So for now he is keeping it out. He wanted to just have a sign in that area.

Thanks for posting a picture of the machines at NY NY arcade... The PR TWD Pro looks great in the line up....

Do you have any pics of an Aero Pro?

Yes I have done some Aerosmith Pros... Here is a few pictures of one I made into a Refinery Editions and I took it to the Chicago Expo and John Borg loved the improvements that were done to it.

If you have any questions about it, just let me know.

Thanks for asking,

Still have your Demoman on steroids. Although I do not play it much, I kept it because it is so unique, my friend

I did not convert many of them, so hang on it that machine

#113 5 years ago
Quoted from Puffdanny:

Love that speaker grill on Munsters !!!!!! I'm not a fan of green on pinball for some reason even on games that green fits the theme like Munters,Gb &afm.I'm thinking of going a dark purple on my Munsters if I do I'll give you a call.

Thanks... I did not want to powder coat the speaker panel on this one, so I came up with the idea for some spider webs painted on it. So I sent it to my talented painter and she worked her magic on it.

I was on the fence on doing this machine is a purpleish color, but I do a lot of them in that color pallet. So I wanted to make this machine "pop" a little bit more. If you would like it done in a purple, not a problem, I can do that. If you are at TPF this weekend, stop out and check out the green and I have a sample of the purple on a side rail that I can put up to the machine for you to see it. In fact, I will post a picture later with the purple rail next to the this machine.

#117 5 years ago

Thanks everyone for posting your pictures of your Pinball Refinery machine on my thread. It was a long solo drive to and back from the Texas Pinball Festival show. The Munsters and Iron Maiden have new owners that are very happy and exciting with their purchase. Here's a few pictures of my area at TPF 2019.

@Yelobird... Thanks for posting and stopping by my booth at TPF, it's always nice to meet everyone.

I will be attending the Pinball at the Zoo show in Kalamazoo Michigan the end of April with a booth. I will have machines, and parts available to be purchased as well.

@zermeno68...

Thank you letting me know your PR Star Wars Premium arrived and it lioks sweet next to your PR Metallica Premium. When my son was younger I always let him have the first play on my new machine as well. It's something he will never forget.

#123 5 years ago
Quoted from pinmister:

Looks great Steve, I love that green powdercoat on Munsters-I thought it popped on TSPP but also really pops on Munsters. Only thing I noticed that I may suggest changing is the paper description of game taped over the beautiful coin doors. I would suggest a separate holder for spec info-so you don't cover up the front of machine at shows. Great job as always-they look stellar.

Thanks for the input... I wanted the Monsters Pro powder coating to pop and this was the color that I needed . I know I hated to cover up the coin doors, but I was trying something new, (they were just wedged under the lockdown bar). I wanted to allow everyone to see the list of the upgrades and not put them on the back box area where they are too far away to read them. I will come up with a better place for them.

#125 5 years ago

Gio was my old business partner and stopped doing it about 2.5 to 3 years ago. I enjoy doing these custom machines so I'm still plugging away with Pinball Refinery and I work with Cointaker as well.

Yes, I do everything you mention above and more with Metallica. I have revised a few things over the years with Metallica. I'm sure I can upgrade your coin door and shooter rod housing when you're ready. As for the t-molding I usually just leave the factory chrome one on, but that's easily changed.

Thank you for posting your Metallica

Quoted from Blakester:

Your machines really stood out at the TPF Steve. That green on the Munster's Pro looked even better on person--you never cease to exceed expectations!

Quoted from jfh:

The Munster green armor was great!

Thank you for your post/input... I was on the fence on what color green to use on the Munsters Pro and this one fits the machine, it stand out from the others. I know the new owner of the PR Munsters Pro that I had at TPF is VERY happy with his purchase.

It was great meeting everyone at TPF and I look forward to the others shows later this year.

I will definitely have some sweet upgrades available for the Black Knight Sword of Rage or just order/buy a Refinery Edition of the Black Knight and it will be killer...

I finally received and finished 2 out of 5 Monster Bash LEs for my customers to have them customized. These LEs are beautiful right out of the box but I wanted to add just a few little touches to make them incredible.

My painter did an amazing job on all of the playfield figures, toppers and coin doors. I also installed a few more upgrades, but the painting is over the top.

Let me know when you think,

I'm now doing all of the powder coating at my shop from now on. I was having a company do it but they were getting too busy and their turn around times too long. So I purchased all new equipment so I can get orders and machines done sooner.

Here's a few pictures and a video of the powder coating I've done for the 3 Black Knight LEs I'm currently customizing.

It's crazy looking.

Last week I finished up with 2 Iron Maiden Premium machines that were on order for a while and my customers were very patience with me getting them for them and doing a fully custom Pinball Refinery package for them.

Here are a few pictures of how they turned out.

Quoted from Blakester:

Love the Eddie shooter rod Steve--where is it from?

Tilt Graphics sells those shooter rods..

Quoted from GUMBO:

Those Maidens are stunning ! Love the PC color for sure.
I'm currently hunting one of your MET Premiums, so if anyone sees this and has a MET they're toying with selling (to get a tasty new Maiden?...)

Thanks... And I'll keep an eye open for PR Metallica Premium.

I finished up with a Godzilla Premium for a customer as well as upgrades for a Godzilla LE.. Both machines turned out very nice.

I just finished a couple of Pinball Refinery RUSH LE machines and I really like how the powder coating color turn out along with everything else for this title.

It's been a while since I posted on my custom PR machine thread... I finally have a Godzilla Premium in for me to add to my personal collection. Here are a few pictures of what I have done to it. I'll post more as I get closer to finishing it.

Quoted from brucea1956:

Gorgeous Steve!

Thank you... And this color has UV glowing properties. Perfect for the radioactive Godzilla theme.
