Pinball Machine Pickup, Buying & Repair in Matamoras, PA & Pike County
Matamoras is the easternmost town in Pennsylvania, one bridge across the Delaware from Port Jervis, and it is the PA in our tri-state name.
Half the Job Is the Staircase.
I'm Christian, and Tri-State Pinball runs out of Newburgh, NY, about 45 minutes up I-84. Fair warning: Pike County is the western edge of our service radius, so we schedule these visits ahead rather than promising same-day miracles. But scheduled does not mean rare. When our truck is already working the Port Jervis side of the river, crossing the Mid-Delaware Bridge takes two minutes, and that is how a New York crew becomes the most practical pinball machine removal option in Matamoras. And if your game is worth something, we buy machines for cash in any condition.
Nobody calls us because a pinball machine is hard to find. They call because it is hard to move. A typical cabinet runs 250 to 300 pounds, is top-heavy with the backbox up, and punishes anyone who muscles it around a landing. Add river-town basements, steep cellar stairs and doorways that shrank sometime since 1950, and you have a job homeowners should not attempt alone. We break the machine down properly, pad it, strap it and walk it out without leaving a mark on the plaster.
Between Pennsylvania Avenue and the River.
The borough is under a square mile, a tidy grid of avenues running back from the Delaware, with Pennsylvania Avenue carrying Route 209 through town. It split from Westfall Township in 1905, and many of its two-story homes have stayed in the same families for decades. Around here machines hide in enclosed porches, attic playrooms and cellars two turns below the kitchen. Whether your game sits near Airport Park or down by the bridge, we have moved one out of a house just like yours.
Split Levels in Westfall, Game Rooms Out Toward Milford.
Past the borough line the housing changes. Westfall Township runs to split-levels and ranches along the 209 corridor, where the machine is usually a flight below grade in a finished rec room. Head southwest toward Milford and the properties get bigger and woodsier, with colonials, weekend places and estate game rooms tucked off private drives. We see all of it: the solid state Bally that anchored a family basement since the 80s, and the modern Stern a second-home owner no longer visits enough to justify. Wherever it sits in Pike County, we can pick it up, buy it or bring in-home pinball repair to it.
The Bridge Works Both Ways.
Plenty of outfits quote Pike County from a call center three states away. We are a family business whose owner answers directly and whose trucks are in Port Jervis all the time anyway. We also cover Middletown up the interstate and Monticello on the Catskills side, and the full coverage map is on our service areas page. For Matamoras, Westfall and Milford, that means a real local buyer with a short drive, honest scheduling and fast, no-obligation offers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Proper teardown first. The backbox folds or comes off, the legs and glass come out, and everything gets padded and strapped to a dolly built for the weight. We plan the route before anything moves.
People try, and we get called after. The weight is manageable, but the balance, the glass and the stairs are not. Let a crew that does this weekly take the risk.
No, we work year round. Snow on a steep driveway can shift things a day or two, but cold itself is no problem for a wrapped machine in an enclosed truck.
A few days to a week is usually plenty. We fold Pike County stops into our Port Jervis runs, so the sooner you call, the sooner your job lands on one of those trips.
No surprise border fee. You get one straight quote up front based on the machine and the access, and in many cases we can haul a machine away at no cost. If it is worth money, we pay you.
