As of 4/3/2013, We are Stern Pinball Machine Distributors. Please contact us for pricing and availability on NIB Stern pinball machines when they are announced from Stern. Also, we will to be offering opened but un-played Stern pinballs with our mods added to them. Making them "Limited Refined Versions". When we have machines in stock, the prices and titles will be announced.
Here is our website.... http://pinballrefinery.bravesites.com/
Thanks,
Steve
Quoted from PEN:Will you offer unmodded versions as well?
Yes we will also be offering NIB machines as well.
Quoted from PEN:Nice site!
Thanks... It is still under a little construction but it is working. New items will be still showing up over the next couple of weeks.
Congrats on the website. I hate to ask this because I know you have a lot on your plate, but here goes. Any idea on when the TR mods will be done? 
Quoted from mmuglia:Congrats! And good luck in your new adventure.
Thanks... We both have enjoyed pinball for several years and want to offer new machines at competitive prices. Also we want to offer our modifications all ready installed in them, so people have a turn key tricked out machine.
Quoted from hank35:Congrats on the website. I hate to ask this because I know you have a lot on your plate, but here goes. Any idea on when the TR mods will be done?
I am working hard on them... no worries. They are coming. 
Thanks for your patience....
Quoted from Frax:I swear to god, if one more person on this board becomes a distributor, I'm putting in a request to be one too.
It is the best way to deal with pinflation. 
All kidding aside, congrats and good luck on the venture Hemi.
Quoted from hank35:^
Thank you
No... Thank You 
Quoted from TigerLaw:It is the best way to deal with pinflation.
All kidding aside, congrats and good luck on the venture Hemi.
We will do our best on the prices and "pinflation"... Since we are starting out, Zdoor and I are not sure how many machines will be allocated from Stern.
Quoted from pingod:Nice site
Do you have the cannon mod already done with Matt,in the full kit.
How long is it taking to do the LOTR potd mod as well.
Not yet, his prototype cannon is getting close. Once, I start getting the cannons from Matt, the first round of them will be going to the TRC mod orders that I have taken. I am NOT taking orders for just the cannon until I finish the TRC mods. After the AC/DC mods, I will be going back to the LOTR, POTD mod.
That is great-more competition means Stern will have to adjust allocation levels and be fair to all distributors. Good luck guys-awesome stuff-Giovanni you told me you were working on something-but this is big news-congrats!
Quoted from pingod:Ok,sounds good.
It says you have two left of the TRC mods on your site,will that be with the Matt cannon mod.
Yes the TRC mod will come with the first round of Matt's cannon...I can make a some more of the TRC mod on this run. I just wanted to limit how many on the website, so things don't get totally out of control.
Quoted from Rick432:Congrats, Hemi!!
I really REALLY need to assemble a monster order from you for SM/Matt'sBAC lighting, LOTR lighting (I actually have the POTD protector and TWO sets of figures just for this), and the deluxe ACDC Premium treatments.
You're going to kill my bank account, dude!
You and me both
Quoted from HemiOrange09:Yes the TRC mod will come with the first round of Matt's cannon...I can make a some more of the TRC mod on this run. I just wanted to limit how many on the website, so things don't get totally out of control.
I will take one TRC mod.
Should I go to the site then.
Nice. Very logical move. You guys are on fire lately. You did wonders on 2 machine I own : Avengers and AC DC. So now I think you guys will work on mods for every single machine Stern will come out with. I have to say it's a plus for the hobby (but not for my wallet). If you though you were busy before this... Only thing you guys are missing is a great Topper guy. Do you think you'll be offering Matt Mckee or Joe's (Laserrific) products? I know they are offering on alot of sites and companies (Ministry of pinball, Pinballife...) so why not with you guys for a total pimping experience. Lot of interest for this part of the market too. Just look at the latest AC DC 3d topper who's more than sold out. Just an idea. Congrats and will be happy to purchase from you guys again and again. Keep up the good work this is well derserved.

All I ask is to PLEASE be patience when you place your "Monster" order and I will make everything that you want for your machines.
I also posted on Zdoor's AC/DC back box thread, I will be setting up a booth and bring my AC/DC Premium that has all of the mods in it on Saturday at the Michigan Pinball Expo. The machine has the Total Rock Concert mod, a "prototype apron" light effects, the Chinese toy cannon (for now), and Zdoor's unbelievable back box and under the cabin lighting kits.... The lighting effects are like no other machine on the planet.
If you are going to be at the show on Saturday, stop by and play this AC/DC....It Awesome
Quoted from pingod:I will take one TRC mod.
Should I go to the site then.
Sure... I have a few small orders come through and it been working just fine.
Thanks,
Steve
Quoted from HemiOrange09:Zdoor's unbelievable back box and under the cabin lighting kits.... The lighting effects are like no other machine on the planet.
Both these mods come seperately or together for $300 ?
I wish you good luck with your sales, but hope you aren't too busy to keep cooking up the great mods. I need to see a couple more X-Men updates before I decide if I want to start tricking it out or consider kicking it out. As it is now, it's fun, but in a "holding" position to see if it reaches "keeper status".
Keep up the good work.
Quoted from Darth_Chris:Only thing you guys are missing is a great Topper guy.
They could do their own and have unique toppers. I'm guessing they already have the equipment for that as well based upon the other work they have put out.

We felt the same way about working together and Zdoor has been working on this announcement for us for a while now. Also a Big Thank You from Zdoor and myself for your repeat business.
I know that both of them are probably VERY busy and not to sure if they want "extra" work, but we will have to talk to Matt and Joe. I will have to talk to Zdoor a little more about this, but this might be an option, if you want their products when you purchase our machines, we can add them to it and some extra lighting effects as well (if you want) making them more of a complete package.
Quoted from TigerLaw:They could do their own and have unique toppers. I'm guessing they already have the equipment for that as well based upon the other work they have put out.
I agree but prefer they use their precious skills and time IN the machines 
Quoted from Darth_Chris:Both these mods come seperately or together for $300 ?
It is a separate mod and he is working on the final product. He will offering some kind of a discount if you purchase both of them at the same time. This Back Box mod is a lot of work to build and is 100% plug in play.... He will add more to the site when it is finished.
Quoted from HemiOrange09:Sure... I have a few small orders come through and it been working just fine.
Thanks,Steve
I tried to buy it.
It says you don't ship to me 
I know you do,I have the mods on SM
Might be a shopping cart thing.
Sent you an e-mail on the site as well.
Hi guys! Congrats on your web site and business.
I just sent a small order through your site for the Tron Scoop Light. The site seems to work fine. This will look great in my Tron. Just got my Tesseract cube in the mail as well . SWEET!!
I am interested in the IM backbox light kit. In our last PM you said it would still be a week or two till you had these ready. Yet the web site says its "IN STOCK" . Are these ready to go? Should I place the order or are you still needing time to actually get these built and ready to ship?

Hold off for now on the purchase of the back box kit.... Zdoor will send you a PM very soon. I am on the phone with him right now. EDIT...If you have already contacted Zdoor about his back box kits, he is working on them first. Then he will be offering them on the website as available. We are excited to announce this and the mods will become available on the site soon.
Quoted from HemiOrange09:I am working on it.... No Worries
It should work now for International orders... Please let me know if anyone is having a problem.
Thank you for the congrats.
We're very excited about the opportunity and will do our best to be competitive and turn out great add ons and custom items for the machines. We both love pinball and take pride in what we put out. It will be a fun ride.
The site is up and running and we'll be adding items and inventory soon.
Backboxes are coming. Hoping to ship the first ones next week. They'll be going to those who already contacted me and then on the site. As Hemi said, he'll be showing some of the mods at the Michigan show this weekend. Really excited about people seeing some of the mods up close.
Steve and Gio, BIG congrats to the both of you! I've gotta say, you both will add so much excitement with your ingenious ideas making pinball games vintage or new feel complete/polished. Can't wait to own some of your SG or GS special editions. Lets start with ST, sign me up!
Cheers, and Congrats again!!!

Congrats Steve! You deserve nothing but good things for all of your hard work and the quality parts you have provided us with.
Congratulations guys. The LOTR is awesome and we are looking forward to picking out the next pin to put next to it!
