Ever heard of a 93 hinge vs a 95 hinge? Most people haven’t — but if you’re restoring or plating your pinball machine, it makes a difference. That small indention on the 95 gives just enough clearance to help protect your side rails. We use them in our own restorations for exactly that reason. Yes, we sell both. Yes, we’ll give you whichever one you want. But if you want the one that helps protect your chrome or powder coat… now you know. #pinballparts #pinballrepair #pinballrestoration #pinball

What’s your favorite Pinball Game? I’ll tell you mine… Indiana Jones will always have a special place for me. Found this one almost 20 years ago at a yard sale, and I’ve owned it longer than any other game I have. It’s just cool. Great modes, great shots, and a ton of personality. It might not be the best pinball of all time… but it’s definitely my favorite. So now I’m curious, what’s yours? #pinball #indianajonespinball #pinballmachine #retrogaming #arcadecollectors #pinballlife #hotrodarcade #

Crazy thing happened 20 years later. A friend mentioned he had a pinball he wanted to sell. I didn’t think much of it… until I walked around it in the shop late one night. It was the same machine. The very first pinball I ever owned. From one pinball in a storage unit to a whole shop full of them — it’s wild how things come full circle. Now I’m curious… What was your first pinball? Or what would you want your first one to be? #pinball #pinballstory #fullcircle #pinballlife #arcadegames #retrogam

What was the first pinball you ever owned? This was mine. A Pin•Bot I bought when money was tight and I was just trying to get by. I got it cheap, fixed it up, fell in love with it… and then had to let it go to help our family. Part two is where the story gets crazy. #pinball #pinballstory #firstpinball #pinballlife #arcadegames #retrogaming #pinballmachine #arcadecollectors #gameroomgoals #hotrodarcade #joeltontn #nashvilletn #clarksvilletn | Hot Rod Arcade

Here’s an upgrade most people overlook — but once you see it, you won’t go back. Original plastic glass channels? We swap those out for steel, plated or powder coated, in all our full restorations. They’re easy to install, they clean up the look of the backbox and playfield area, and they tie the whole build together. Available for standard and wide body machines. Questions? We’ve got answers. 📍 pinballplating.com #pinballparts #pinballrestoration #pinballmachine #behindtheflippers #gameroomgoa

Eight Ball Deluxe getting a full playfield swap. When a playfield gets worn out, scratched up, and tired, sometimes the best move is starting fresh. This one is getting a brand new CPR playfield, and that means transferring everything over. Every wire. Every ground braid. Every assembly. And we are not putting old junky parts back on a new playfield. If we are doing it, we are doing it right. It is not a small job, but when it is done, the game feels brand new again.

This is your friendly pinball PSA: If you’ve got an older machine, your MPU board might be hiding a ticking time bomb… batteries. We’ve seen way too many good games wrecked by slow leaks that turn into expensive replacements. Take a minute. Open the backbox. Check those batteries. Your future self (and your wallet) will thank you. #pinballrepair #pinballpsa #pinballmachine #mpuboard #arcaderepair #retroarcade #pinballlife #gameroomgoals #behindtheflippers #hotrodarcade #JoeltonTN #NashvilleTN #C

Quick pinball tip: There’s no such thing as a “standard” wide body machine. Even wide bodies come in different widths depending on the manufacturer and the year. And if you’re ordering rails or other parts, that difference matters. Best move? Talk to someone who knows these machines inside and out. We’re happy to help you get it right the first time. #pinballparts #widebodypinball #pinballrestoration #pinballrepair #pinballmachine #ballywilliams #behindtheflippers #hotrodarcade #pinballplating #

Vector games… you either love them or you babysit them. Tempest gets the reputation for being the most finicky arcade game out there, but really it’s the vector monitors that like to give people trouble. Color vectors, black and whites, they’re amazing when they’re running right, and a headache when they’re not. We’ve got a whole lineup of them here… Major Havoc, Quantum, Lunar Lander, Omega Race, Star Wars. All the classics. And yeah, some of them like to act up. But with good board work, good

Have you ever seen a pinball machine get ready for transport? This Scooby-Doo pin is sold and headed out to its new home. A little prep goes a long way to make sure it gets there safely.

If you’re buying a pinball machine and someone says it’s been “shopped,” make sure you ask what that actually means. Everyone defines it differently. Here’s what we mean when we shop a machine: full teardown, deep cleaning, wax and polish, NVRAM install, board work, flippers rebuilt, new rubbers, new bulbs, vacuumed cabinet, and clean or new glass. That’s the standard we hold ourselves to. What about you? Anything you think should be added to the list? Let us know in the comments. #pinball #pinb

Never lose your high score again. If your game still has batteries on the MPU board, it’s time for an upgrade. NVRAM holds your scores and settings without the risk of battery leaks wrecking your board. No more corrosion. No more guesswork. Just one smart swap. Need help installing it? We’ve got you. #pinballrepair #nvramupgrade #pinballmachine #highscorelife #arcaderepair #pinballrestoration #gameroomgoals #hotrodarcade #JoeltonTN #NashvilleTN #ClarksvilleTN #pinball #arcade | Hot Rod Arcade

Getting a new machine ready for the upcoming tournament on September 18th. But there was a slight issue we had to address first. Play starts at 7 and there’s a $20 entry fee that gets split between the winners.

Yesterday’s tournament was a blast! Good friends, good food, and a whole lot of pinball. If you missed it, don’t worry because the next one’s right around the corner. Thursday, December 18th. Same deal: food at 6:30, tournament at 7, $20 to enter and the winners split the pot.

We snuck into Eastside Bowl before they opened… and it was worth it. They’ve got a little bit of everything in here. Live music, hyper bowling, pool, and now a full lineup of pinball we help take care of. Simpsons, Stranger Things, Venom, Foo Fighters, Star Wars, 007, and a Ms. Pac-Man/Galaga cocktail table. All of it ready to play next time you’re in Madison. Really cool spot. Go check it out. P.S. We didn’t actually sneak in. They let us in before opening… but it still felt cool. #eastsidebowl
