It depends on which game you have and who made it. There is no hard and fast rule on finding serial numbers unfortunately. Some were stamped into the wood, some applied with stickers, others handwritten on the cabinet in various places. Since there are too many manufacturers and game modesl to list and track, we have created a section of the site dedicated to helping pinball machine owners find the serial numbers on their games. Please visit the Finding your serial number page for more info.

We can fix most pinball machines, regardless of origin. For a cost effective repair we would suggest that you phone us with a description of the problem(s). You can also e-mail us through the Contact Us page on this website. Many electronic machines can be repaired by sending circuit boards for repair, and this is usually the cheapest course of action. By talking the problem through, we can assist in determining whether a board repair will be likely to fix your problem.

Many researchers invented non-computer machines, hoping that they would be intelligent in different ways than the computer programs could be. However, they usually simulate their invented machines on a computer and come to doubt that the new machine is worth building.
