What began as a father’s gift to his son in the 1970s has grown into one of the Midwest’s largest retailers of new and used pinball machines. At Great American Pinball, we want you to feel that same magic. Our love for all things pinball is at the heart of everything we do, and it shows in every machine we sell, restore, and share.
One of our greatest joys is rescuing worn, beaten-up machines and breathing new life into them. We take pride in putting these games into the hands of new players, hoping to spark the same excitement and wonder that started it all—a feeling a child experiences when a parent hands them their very first pinball machine.
