Pinball Machine Pickup, Buying & Repair in Carmel, NY
Carmel is Putnam's county seat, where Lake Gleneida meets Route 6 and the 1814 courthouse still faces the water like it has for two centuries.
Game Room Help for Carmel and the Rest of Putnam County.
It is also full of commuter households with serious game rooms, which keeps Tri-State Pinball, our family shop out of Newburgh, busy on this side of the county. Christian picks up machines, pays cash for the ones worth money, repairs the keepers, and rents games for parties all over Putnam.
Every service we offer runs through here. Need a machine gone? Machine pickup during a cleanout is our bread and butter, basements and tight stairs included. Think it might be worth something? We buy pinball machines for cash in any condition, working or not. Want it playing again? Christian makes in-home repair visits for Bally, Williams, Stern, Data East, and Jersey Jack games. Planning a graduation party or a backyard event? Our party and event rentals come with delivery and setup. Carmel is where we stage most of our Putnam work, so if you are anywhere in the county, this page is your page too.
When the Moving Truck Comes Before the Game Room Is Empty.
Here is the call we get from Carmel more than any other. The house is sold, the closing date is real, the movers are booked, and there is a three-hundred-pound pinball machine at the bottom of the basement stairs that nobody priced into the plan. Sometimes it is a downsizing move to something smaller. Sometimes it is a parent's house and a family sorting through decades of belongings on a deadline. Either way, the machine is the thing everybody keeps walking past. That is exactly the job we built this business around. One call, a few photos, and the machine is off your list, with cash in your pocket if it turns out to be worth something. For estate situations we keep things quiet and respectful, and we can work around realtor schedules, closing dates, and moving day itself.
Straight Down I-84 from Our Newburgh Shop.
Getting to Carmel is simple for us. It is one run east on I-84 from Newburgh and down to the lake, a bit over half an hour on a normal day, so scheduling is quick and nobody waits on an out-of-state truck. We cover the neighboring towns just as easily, including Mahopac next door, Brewster out by the I-84 and I-684 junction, and Cold Spring and Garrison over on the river side of Putnam. You can see everywhere we go on our service areas page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. We rent machines for birthdays, graduations, office events, and backyard parties, and every rental includes delivery and setup. Tell us the date and the occasion and we will suggest games that fit the crowd.
The earlier the better, since weekends go first. That said, it never hurts to ask about a date that is coming up fast. If a machine is available, we will make it work.
Yes. Narrow stairs, low ceilings, and tight landings are most of what we deal with day to day. We size up the route, break the machine down properly, and bring the right equipment for the carry.
It is a normal Tuesday for us. A machine comes apart into manageable pieces, and with the backbox off and the legs removed, it can be walked through turns that look impossible with the game assembled.
You have three. Have it brought to the new place if there is room, get an offer and let us pay you for it, or have it picked up so it is simply gone before the movers arrive. We can help with whichever route fits.
The clock before a closing or a move only runs one way, so do not leave the heaviest thing in the house for last. Call or text Christian at (845) 597-3982 for a fast, no-obligation answer.
