More games coming soon!
Games are always coming and going, so our inventory changes from time to time. If you don't see a game you're looking for, be sure to check back periodically!
Frequently Asked Questions:
"Do you have any other games that are currently for sale?"
A listing of available new games is below. We have no other used/reconditioned games available at this time- the list above is kept current. Please check back periodically to see what we have coming available.
"Why don't you have more games for sale?"
There are two reasons for this:
- We are a "low-volume, high-quality" provider of reconditioned pinball games. Most dealers or sellers that you find on the internet or eBay are quite the opposite- "high-volume, low-quality". When you do very little to a used machine before you sell it, you can put a lot of games up for sale in a short amount of time. But most machines that we recondition and sell undergo a very detailed and time-consuming overhaul to make them the best they can be- in looks, playability, quality, and reliability. This typically takes several weeks per machine to accomplish. We don't just wipe them down with an old dirty rag and put a price tag on them! We do the job right- but that takes time and patience. We like to think it's always worth it in the end!
- Game sales isn't all we do! The largest demand from our customers for the last few years has been in providing service & repair on games that were purchased from other sellers, and selling/shipping parts & supplies to our customers who like to do their own service and maintenance. The increase in these portions of our business hasn't left us much available time to acquire, recondition, and sell used machines. In short, we're often too busy fixing everyone else's stuff to work on our own!
If you're interested in a high-quality reconditioned pinball game, but don't see anything that meets your needs here, feel free to check back with us periodically to see what we have coming available over the next few weeks/months.
Bought a game from someone else and didn't get what you expected? You're not alone- we hear complaints like this on a daily basis. But we can help! See our Game Sales & Repair page for details on how we can help with the game you own!
New Games:
NOTE: Most new games are available by special order direct from the factory and take approximately two weeks for us to get in. If you are interested in purchasing a new game, please contact us for more info. Want to see/try/play a new game before buying? Check out our Pinball in Salt Lake City page for locations where you can find and play pinball in our local area.
Several new games are typically available at any given time throughout the year. Different versions of each game are usually available, starting with "Pro" models (least expensive), then "Premium" models, and then "Limited Edition" models (most expensive).
Premium and Limited Edition (LE) models typically have additional features and different artwork, which make them different than Pro models, and are priced accordingly.
Most "Pro" model games start at around $6,000. Prices are higher on Premium and LE models and can reach as high as $9,000 or more depending on the model.
Currently available titles:
- AC/DC
- Avatar
- Avengers
- Metallica
- NASCAR Dale Jr. Edition
- Rolling Stones
- Transformers
- Tron Legacy

Why buy a new pinball machine from Action Pinball?
Most pinball buyers these days don't seem to care about quality or customer service- they are only concerned about finding the lowest price. We firmly believe that when it comes to pinball, you will get what you pay for. We like to say that when you buy from Action Pinball, "we come with the machine".
Bought a machine from someone else and have a problem? Can't get help?
We deal with calls like this every day. Give us a call- we can help with parts, supplies, game assembly and set-up, and on-site service for local customers. See our Pinball Service & Repair page for more details.
For ourselves and our own customers, quality and customer service come first. Here's why:
Quality: Used/reconditioned games we sell are overhauled with an emphasis on detail and reliability. We want our games to work their best for our customers, so that they not only look and play great, but work properly and provide long-term use and satisfaction.
On new games we sell, we personally inspect each machine before it is delivered or shipped, to be sure that everything is 100% ready-to-go. We often make several adjustments on brand new machines- even "right out of the box"- and make sure everything is 100% not only functionally, but cosmetically, too. See our "New Game Pre-Inspection" details below, for more info.
Customer Service: It's something that's hard to find these days. Our business was literally built on customer service and word-of-mouth. That's something we're proud of. And after all these years, we still stand behind each new or used/reconditioned game we sell.
Have a problem, question, or need service? We're there for you. For our local customers, we provide on-site service, in person, at your home or business- whether it's a warranty call, or service, maintenance, or repair after the warranty. For our out-of-town customers, we're available to help by phone or e-mail anytime.
If quality and customer service are important parts of your pinball buying decision, give us a call. If you're like many pinball buyers these days and are only looking for the lowest price, we'd thank you for visiting our web site, but kindly invite you to shop and buy elsewhere. But keep our phone number handy when you need service or parts after your purchase. We not only service what we sell, but what everyone else sells, too!
New Game Pre-Inspection:
On all new games we sell, we do a pre-inspection of each game before it ships out from our shop to our customers. We remove the game from the factory shipping carton here at our shop, and thoroughly inspect it inside and out for any previous shipping damage, problems with the game that were missed at the factory or arose during testing at the factory or shipping to our shop, and to ensure 100% correct operation before the game goes out.
We also add some extra additional packaging to the game when we box it back up to ship to our customers, to help protect it even further during shipping on it's way to our customers.
Most other dealers that sell brand new games "on the internet" never actually have the games in their inventory or even see or touch them before they go out to their customers- it's a fact. These outfits simply take your money and have the game drop-shipped from the factory, direct to you, "as is". You'll never know exactly what you're getting, and neither will the outfit that took your money.
We refuse to lower our standards to working this way- every game we sell is part of our in-house inventory and we want to know the exact quality of every game that our customers are going to receive, before being shipped out to them, so that we can be sure they will receive exactly what they're paying for, and get a game that is 100% trouble-free as soon as it arrives. Would you buy a car from a dealer that never saw or actually had it in their inventory?
"Is pre-inspection important?" We'll let you decide:
Typically 1 out of 3 "brand new" games that we receive from the factory has some minor (or major) issue either with quality (condition) of the game, or an operational issue that needs to be corrected before the game can be operated.
Here are some of the problems that we have found during pre-inspection on some of the brand new games that we have received direct and unopened from the factory:
- Wires/cables run through, or too close to, moving devices like coils- bumpers, kickers, etc. This is very common, and causes damage to the wiring each time the device operates, eventually causing shorts and causing electrical failures.
- Ground braid run right through flipper switch. This locks on the flipper and blows the fuse.
- Backbox flourescent starter loose and lodged in ball trough.
- Wires "chopped" off by devices, due to routing problems (related to above).
- Poorly installed connector pins in main wiring harness causing loss of power to game (dead in the water).
- Blemishes in the finish on chrome plated or other metal trim parts on some games.
- Occasional loose playfield parts and hardware.
- "Shrek" score card holder (apron) mistakenly installed on an "Indiana Jones" game.
- Partially-working driver board in Transformers pinball (no playfield feature lamp activity).
- Leg bolt & leg mounting plate stripped/jammed on AC/DC brand new pinball.
Most games that leave the factory do go out in full working order, but we occasionally see problems like those listed above that can cause a game to be completely inoperational once it reaches the customer. That makes for an unhappy customer, a broken game that usually has to be packaged back up and shipped back to the seller, extra handling and service time to repair and re-ship once the issues are resolved, and no one ends up very happy. Not good.
Our pre-inspection service avoids these issues and helps ensure a 100% trouble-free transaction between us and our customers and ensures a quality product is delivered. Pre-inspection, along with our extra warranty, and service that we provide in addition to "just the game", add to the value of the game, but ensure the best product and service for our customers.
You may pay a bit more (or even less) when buying a brand new game from Action Pinball, but you will always get what you pay for. We appreciate customers that consider these important details when purchasing a game, and we thank you for your business!
Game Condition Ratings:
Below is a brief description of how we rate and list the condition of the games we have for sale. We try to be relatively conservative in our ratings in order to most accurately represent condition. We try to avoid rating a game's characteristics on a "1 to 10" scale like many sellers use, because many times one person's "10" is another person's "7", etc. Instead, we give a descriptive rating of conditions below, with a definition of how we determine each rating.
As always, rating of condition is a matter of opinion- one person's "mint" is sometimes another person's "junk", so no matter who you buy your game from, don't go by the seller's rating alone- be sure to ask questions, see pictures, and get a description of the game you are interested in, in order to most accurately determine the seller's interpretation of condition, and to judge for yourself the actual condition of the game.
On the same note, games of same condition can vary slightly- that is, one "Excellent" game may not be exactly the same condition as another "Excellent" game. Ratings are generallized, and may possibly span two different ratings sometimes such as, "Very Good to Excellent Condition".
For more information on rating condition and buying "sight unseen", see our Game Sales Information page
| Rating |
Description |
| Brand New |
Highest rating. It doesn't get any better than this- this is basically a brand new game that has never been owned or operated. Fresh from the factory! Games in this condition are considered "mint condition", which means they are basically in the condition they were in when shipped from the "mint", or "factory". |
| Collector Condition |
As good as you can usually get without the game being "new in box". This is the condition that most of our collector or hard-core enthusiast customers wait for. Games of this rating are in superb condition with very few and/or tiny imperfections (if any). These can be games that have been commercially operated (used) but very lightly used and/or maintained superbly so as to appear very close to new condition. Or games in this condition can also be what many call "home use only", which is basically a game that was purchased brand new from factory, and used only in a home (non-commercial) environment with little use and good upkeep so as to appear very close to new condition. Backglass usually flawless, but may have one or two minor imperfections. |
| Excellent |
A used game still in great condition showing few and/or small signs of normal or average use. Maybe a few average type nicks and scratches on cabinet- some/all being touched up and not very noticeable. And maybe some minor signs of normal use on playfield and it's components. Overall great shape- much higher than average condition for a restored game. Backglass may show some slight imperfections and/or wear/age. |
| Very Good |
A used game in average to slightly-above-average condition, restored. Shows some signs of normal or average use and/or "wear and tear". Most likely some average type signs of wear on cabinet- scratches, scuffs, nicks- some/all being touched up in order to be less noticeable. Some signs of use on playfield and it's components, including possibly some slight wear spots on playfield- some/all being touched up in order to be less noticeable. Backglass may show some signs of light wear/age. |
| Good |
A used game in average to slightly-below-average condition, as restored as practically possible. Shows more obvious signs of average use and/or "wear and tear". More obvious average type wear on cabinet- scratches, scuffs, nicks- some/all being touched up in order to be less noticeable. More obvious signs of use on playfield and it's components, including some wear spots on playfield- some/all being touched up in order to be less noticeable. Backglass may show some signs of wear/age. |
| Fair |
Rarely do we have anything in this condition, and if so, restoration work is minimal on a game of this condition due to overall condition/value of the game. This condition would be a used game in below-average condition. Shows obvious signs of use and/or "wear and tear"- maybe moderate to heavy use. Maybe some damage that may or may not be practically repairable. Obvious wear on cabinet- scratches, scuffs, nicks, and possibly other damage- some/all of which may or may not have been repaired or touched up. Obvious signs of use/wear on playfield and it's components, including wear on playfield surface which may or may not have been touched up. Backglass possibly in good to fair condition- may show signs of wear/age.
|
| Poor |
We generally don't deal in any games of Fair or Poor condition due to the fact that most cannot be practically salvaged or restored to any considerably good condition, and standard restoration work put into such a game would more than likely exceed the game's value, based on it's finished condition. Games in the Fair and Poor category may often be games that would be sold as-is, or unrestored, but again- we generally don't deal in such games at all. |
