HOW WE SOURCE
PINBALL
MACHINES

We pride ourselves on the meticulous sourcing of our games. Our pinball machines are procured in their original, unrestored state from carefully selected European suppliers and restored by our team of experts. We have made the confident decision to refrain from acquiring games from the USA due to the decline in the value of the Pound Sterling after Brexit.

At Pinball Creative, we are the experts in sourcing the perfect pinball table for our customers. We have carefully curated a list of trusted European suppliers who share our passion for pinball. Unfortunately, as with any industry, some individuals are solely motivated by financial gain, and we have learned valuable lessons from these experiences. We are committed to providing our customers an enjoyable pinball experience with minimal issues.
 
Due to the disappointing state of the British pinball industry in the 60s and 70s, we now import 70% of our pinball machines from outside the UK. We maintain an inventory of around 20 un-restored pinball machines, which can be found on our website's "Games in Stock" page. If you can't find the game you're looking for, contact us, and we'll do our best to source it for you.
 
It's important to note that we only deal with pinball games manufactured between 1938 (pre-flipper games) and 1981 (when games began talking). While we typically focus on Electro-Mechanical (EMs) pinball machines, we often have some early Solid State (SS) Bally pinball games in stock. We do not deal with games produced after 1982, as they became too gimmicky for our taste, and their production quality declined. Our passion lies in pinballs from the golden era between the early 1960s and mid-1970s. We could deal with later games, but we're not interested if it doesn't align with our passion.
 
If you'd like to request a pinball game, please visit our "Contact Us" page and provide your details and wish list. We'll contact you by phone to discuss your requirements and how we can assist you. At Pinball Creative, we are committed to providing you with the best pinball experience possible.
