At Pinball Jukbox Repair - Jim Vance, we offer service in home. Coin machines are heavy so it is wise not to move them unless there is no other choice! We can set up a service call with the customer at a time that suits their schedule. We are a full time repair service. We can come to service pinball and/or jukebox at any time day, evening, or whenever it is convenient for the customer.
We cover a range of 250 miles from Hamilton. However, outside of Hamilton, there is a reasonable travel charge to cover time and costs. We are devoted to a successful restoration. Repairing vintage and mistreated or wrongly repaired equipment can be quite an undertaking but we do our best to see it through.
You can count on me and my longtime friend and business associate, Allen Patterson, for professional pinball repair service. If you need specialized service for your coin-op machines in Hamilton, ON, contact us today!
When you buy a restored product from us or engage us to repair or restore your own products you are dealing with perfectionists. Our engineers have years of experience working with jukeboxes, pinball machines and vintage games. Here is an example of a recent Rock-Ola Princess restoration.
When we acquire vintage products they are not in great shape. Stage one is a thorough investigation and examination to understand and analyse the work to be completed. In this case the Princess was originally from 1962 and required a substantial overhaul.
One of the first steps is the cabinet. They are completely stripped back to bare wood,repaired primed and repainted restore back to an original state. In this case the finish is a baby blue, which compliments the chrome finish perfectly.
During the restoration process we clean all areas of the mechanism, strip back the amplifier and clean the chassis, capacitors, leads and replace anything that needs to be, including capacitors. We also need to set the jukebox to free play. Our ultimate aim is to ensure she plays and sounds as our clients would expect.
During our testing process we face some hard challenges. These machines are over 60 years old, loose switches, often a lot of grease and more cleaning are part of the process. Our engineers diligently go right the way through this machines and test vigorously, to ensure the ultimate high standards we set.
