First of all I'd like to thank everyone for their support since announcing my venture. More information will filter through as I move forward setting up, but here's some background to get me started.
Australian Pinball Restorations
APR is a small Business that specializes in pinball restorations, sales and repairs from all eras. It was formed in April 2011 from a Hobby Business and is now a full time venture located in Thomastown Victoria. By the end of December 2011, a Showroom and Workshop will be added to the current storage building in Reservoir. Operations will move there in Early 2013. For now, the workshop remains in Thomastown.
APR Services
I have 30 years experience in the industry mainly as a hobbyist. My Father was an amusement machine operator in Australia starting in 1951, so I have always been around pinball. I was repairing Pinball machines and Bingo machines at the age of 14. I specialize in Pinball restoration of Electromechanical and Solid State machines. I also recondition and restore DMD machines.
Pinball Restoration - If you own a game you want restored, then send it to me ! Whether it is one of your games currently in your collection, or you just bought it from a dealer or eBay, I can restore the game to a high standard. There are different levels of restoration depending on your requirements and budget. I can provide a quote and timeframe for the restoration. Restoration also covers board refurbishment. Every step of the restoration is conducted in house, and is documented.
Pinball Repairs - Onsite or at home. From flipper rebuilds to board diagnostics. You can also bring you machine to my workshop (coming soon). There are other services to be offered when I move premises. I can do home repairs at this point.
Pinball Sales - I have an inventory of over 75 Pinballs. All of these are from my personal collection that have been absorbed by the business. All of these games will be restored. I will not be selling games out of containers, or "as is" (at this point). All titles will be restored and sold. Pricing is not "market value" as the level of restoration will be different for each collector and machine. I don't recondition or restore machines to "market value" or "eBay value". My inventory covers games from 1966 - 2004, and will be increasing soon.. ..
Hopefully I can help you out in all ways pinball !
