Australian Pinball Restorations is proud to announce that it is the Victorian authorized reseller for Homepin Hankin reproduction tables.
The first tables have arrived at APR. There is a demonstration table in the showroom already. For details on the build, direct from Mike himself - here's the thread and some light reading ;

APR is known for JUST pinball, but we have been supportive of Hompin's products, using many of them in pinball repairs and restoration in the past. The Hankin Reproduction is the "best of breed", and that's the ONLY product standard (of any product) that we will distribute or endorse. I've given it a good hour of playtime, and it is by far, the best made table I've ever seen.
Please drop in and have a look.
The packaging is incredibly well thought out. They are clearly labelled with the unique table number on the box.

I love the goodie bag - certificate of authenticity with the table number. Homepin tokens for the configurable coin slot. Well designed.
Build quality is what you would expect from Homepin. Really impressive table. "Hankin" logo and a discrete "Homepin" logo on the glass. Small things make a huge difference - The metal corners have rubber inbetween the glass and metal corner and also felt inbetween the top of the glass and the top of the metal corner. Fully adjustable legs.
I'm VERY impressed with the quality of this table.

Hey, well done Nino and well done Mike.
Two of the most passionate and professional people in the arcade n pinball industry.
Glad to see you selling this game at a great price.
Advertise them on ebay cause a lot of people over 40 remember these as kids and they bring back great memories. This is a game the entire family can enjoy.
I am hoping in a year or two you also become a Stern Dealer. The products will meet your quality standards by then and you will have the best arcade business in the entire of Australia. Never say never. Well done to you and Miike. You have a very cool business Nino. A lot of us are envious but reckon the right man for the job is building something very special.

We think the price is right as an introductory AP promotion. There are some poor copies selling for more - which is kinda strange. But we stand by this product. I gave it a thrashing today and had a couple of customers test it out for themselves. So the first few will be on their way out the door next week by the sounds of things.
Thanks for the kinds words, Brett. Also thanks for all the other comments. I'm not sure about eBay sales - Not a fan at all !
Great news!

Mike and I are in discussions. The tables is a good segue into the pinballs. If quality is any indication - it would be a no brainer as far as APR is concerned.
