Pinball Machine Pickup, Buying & Repair in New City, NY
I'm Christian, and I run Tri-State Pinball out of Newburgh with my family.
Pinball Has Deep Roots in the County Seat
If you want pinball machine pickup, buying, or repair in New City, NY, you get me, not a call center that sells your name to whoever pays for the lead. New City sits about 40 minutes from my shop down the Palisades Interstate Parkway, so when you book pinball machine pickup in New City, the truck that pulls up is mine. And before you pay anyone to take a game away, hear this: I buy pinball machines for cash in any condition, working or not. Plenty of folks who thought they had a problem found out they had a payday.
Rockland runs its business from Main Street here, with the county courthouse anchoring downtown and the Historical Society keeping the record over on Zukor Road. High Tor stands watch above the whole scene, and the Dutch Garden still shows off its Depression-era brickwork. It is a proud, put-together town, and put-together towns hide a lot of pinball. The homes around Lake Lucille, the family streets of Laurel Plains, the Hamlets on the Nanuet line: those finished basements filled up with games through the 80s and 90s, and a lot of them are still down there, half working, waiting for somebody like me to ask about them.
When a Bar or Family Spot Retires a Game
Here is the angle most people miss. The restaurants and bars along South Main Street, the family fun spots, the farm stands that keep kids busy every fall: places like that run games hard. A machine on location takes more abuse in a year than a home game sees in twenty. When an owner swaps one out, that retired game has to go somewhere, and I want to be the first call. I buy tired location machines no matter how rough they look, I service games right where they stand so a busy Friday is not lost to a dead flipper, and my pinball machine rentals put a working game in your event space with delivery and setup handled.
Everything We Do for New City Homes and Businesses
The full menu travels with me. I do in-home pinball repair on Bally, Williams, Stern, Data East, and Jersey Jack machines, so the game never has to leave your basement. I handle pickups from tight stairways and awkward corners, the kind of jobs movers turn down flat. I make cash offers on machines people are done with, from mint to mouse-chewed. In many cases I can haul a game away at no cost, and if it is worth money, I pay you. And when a family here wants to add a machine instead of losing one, I deliver it and set it up.
A Showroom Game for Your Rec Room
I keep around 16 machines in stock at any time, each one gone through and tested before it hits the floor. Browse the used pinball machines for sale, then ask about our warranty and about delivery, because getting a heavy game down a Rockland staircase without a scratch is exactly what I do all week.
Why New City Calls a Newburgh Shop
The big pinball names online are lead networks. You fill out a form, they auction your info, and a stranger with a rented truck shows up weeks later, if anyone shows at all. I am the actual local buyer, 20 to 40 minutes away, and my name is on every job. Fast, no-obligation offers, straight answers, and a family business that has to face its neighbors afterward. I cover the rest of Rockland too, including Haverstraw, Stony Point, and Suffern, and you can see every town I work in on the service areas page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Send me a few photos of the backglass, the playfield, and the cabinet sides, and tell me whether it powers on. Title, condition, era, and working status drive the number. I give fast, no-obligation offers, so you lose nothing by asking.
Popular 1990s Williams and Bally titles, modern Stern games, and Jersey Jack machines tend to sit at the top of the market. Condition can move any machine up or down, and I make real offers on rough games too.
Do not fix anything and do not let a mover drag it out of the house. Take photos where it sits, write down the name on the backglass, and reach out. I will give you an honest read on what you have before you decide anything.
Yes. I work with families, executors, and realtors on estate machines all the time. One visit, a fair offer, careful handling on the way out, and simple paperwork so the estate has a clean record.
