About Me

pindude152: Gatineau, QC, Canada; Early 40 something dude who likes to collect and repair Pinball machines. I bought my first pinball machine at the age of 17. I've been collecting and repairing for over 20 years. I've been on countless road trips chasing the odd pinball machine. I've driven countless miles to fix vintage games.

They are considered to be the most complex electro mechanical amusement device ever produced. I got my first bingo machine in early 2013. I take great pleasure in repairing them.
