Pinball Machines

• What are Refurbished Pinball Machines?

Pinball machines have been around since the end of the 19th Century. But it's really been since the 1940s and 50s that pinballs really took off (especially with the introduction of the flipper in 1947). During that time, and up until the present day, pinball machines have been an art form of their own - there really is nothing else like them!

Sadly there are only a handful of manufacturers left in business today, including Stern Pinball of Illinois and Jersey Jack, both based in the USA. The relentless march of the video game sent some famous names such as SEGA Pinball, Williams and Bally down during the 1990s. Luckily the quality and sheer playability of modern machines have endured the test of time, leaving us with lots of brand new machines available right now, straight from the factory.

Many of Stern's most popular creations are movie-based or band tie-ins but, thanks to advanced electronics, more sound, music and multimedia elements are being incorporated into the games. Modern Stern pinballs are produced in a limited run - so once they are sold they are gone forever!

At Liberty Games, we love pinball, and have some of the UK's leading pinball technicians working for us. This means we can source many classic pinball machines, give them a full restoration, and get them back to their working best. So if the latest Stern masterpiece doesn't do it for you, take a look at our refurbished pinball section to see which classic tables are available for sale. Just bear in mind that, like many things, pinballs are becoming collectables these days, so popular titles such as Star Trek: The Next Generation and The Addams Family are getting harder and harder to get hold of.

All pinball tables sold by Liberty Games come with a full on-site warranty for total peace of mind.
