Pinball Machine Pickup, Buying & Repair in Kingston & Ulster County, NY
Kingston sits at the edge of our service radius, and we want to be clear about what that means: we still come, we come with the right equipment, and we schedule honestly instead of overpromising.
Why Kingston Homeowners Call Us First.
Tri-State Pinball brings pinball machine pickup, buying, and repair to Kingston, NY from our family shop in Newburgh, and for most of Ulster County we are the only outfit that will actually put a truck in your driveway instead of quoting you from a call center.
Because the alternative is grim. Search for pinball help up here and you get forums, parts catalogs, and national sites that resell your phone number. There is no local shop left covering this end of the county, which is exactly why we added it to our routes. You get Christian, a real person from Newburgh who shows up when he says he will, gives you a number he will stand behind, and treats a four hundred pound game like it matters. That is the whole pitch.
The Drive Is Our Problem, Not Yours.
From our shop it is a straight shot up the Thruway to Exit 19, roughly forty minutes door to door. We are honest that Kingston is not around the corner, so we plan for it: trips are grouped so one run can cover an estimate on Lucas Avenue, a service call near Hurley Avenue, and a game coming out of a Rondout row house the same afternoon. You will never hear us blame the distance for a missed appointment.
A City With Game Rooms in Its Bones.
This was New York's first capital, and the Stockade District has the stone walls to prove it. But the machines we chase are usually a few generations younger than the Senate House or the Old Dutch Church. Kingston boomed as a working port and factory city, and the houses that era left behind, from Uptown's blocks inside the old stockade lines to the neighborhoods off Albany Avenue, have exactly the kind of cellars and back parlors where a 1970s Bally or a 1990s Williams goes to hibernate. We have carried games out of houses here older than the states some of our competitors drive in from.
From Broadway to the Rondout Waterfront.
Midtown's Broadway corridor, the blocks around UPAC, and the creekside streets of the Rondout near the Hudson River Maritime Museum each have their own housing quirks, narrow halls in the row houses, steep porch steps on the hillside above the creek, tight basement hatches in the older commercial buildings. None of it is new to us. We measure first, pad everything, and leave your trim the way we found it, whether the game is coming out of a waterfront apartment or going into one.
Full-Service Pinball Help in Kingston.

We handle machine pickup and haul-away from any floor of the house, make straight offers when you want to sell a pinball machine for cash, run in-home pinball repair on Bally, Williams, Stern, Data East, and Jersey Jack titles, deliver tested used machines from our inventory, and set up party and event rentals anywhere in the city. Landlords and bar owners along Broadway can have games serviced on location, too. One number covers all of it.
One Trip Covers Most of Ulster County.
Kingston is our anchor for the whole county. Port Ewen, Lake Katrine, Hurley, Saugerties, Woodstock, if you are anywhere near the Thruway corridor or Route 28, we can usually fold you into a Kingston run.

Frequently Asked Questions
