Newburgh, IN
My wife, Suzanne, and I decided to move to Indiana to be close to our son, his wife, and our grandchildren. The website URL remains as www.purcellvillepinball.com. But I changed the name to Pinville Pinball (www.pinvillepinball.com). I hope to continue to repair pinball machines in the Evansville/Newburgh, Indiana area as well as continue to do work back in Virginia.
Thankfully I can work remotely with my full-time job. (We have been working remotely successfully for the past 2 years.) I will have to be back in Reston, Virginia or Washington, DC every 4-6 weeks so will try to schedule repairs during these visits.
On a trip back from visiting family during Easter, I was telling my wife that we need to change the name of the company. I was originally planning to call it “The ‘Ville Pinball” since we thought we’d move to Evansville. However, we were very lucky and blessed to find a wonderful house in Newburgh. Suzanne suggested Pville Pinball. I told her I actually own the URL to www.pvillepinball.com that forwards (now) to the new URL. Then she suggested “Pinville Pinball” and I said, that works!
I will keep my current 703 phone number. I am about to get an 812 phone number so it is a local call. I will also get a PO box and no longer share my home address with the world. 
Most of my websites will now forward to www.pinvillepinball.com. www.purcellvillepinball.net contains content from my prior design of the web site. Most of these pages will forward to the new site automatically. But if you are looking at photos of a repair I did a while ago, these pages will remain in the old format since I do not have the time or desire to redo them.
If you type in www.purcellvillepinball.com and your browser provides a “Not Secure” error message, you need to change “https” to “http” since some browsers may remember it was secure. The new web site www.pinvillepinball.com uses SSL so it has “https”. But a forwarding URL does not need the “s”. (Sorry for the technical info, I just want to ensure you can find the web site.)
Therefore, I sold all 14 of my personal pinballs and most of my slot machines. I was originally planning to live in an apartment for a year until we found a house. I could not get adequate insurance to cover pinballs in a storage location. I decided to sell them all and build up a different collection. In fact, I have a Multimorphic P3 on order since December and hope to get it in June or July.
My wife and I look forward to the next chapter in our lives and I want pinball to remain a very important, fun part of this new chapter. Thanks for the support over the years!
