Your 1ST Pinball
Machine
Congratulations, we hope you enjoy
the hobby as much as we do. Did you just get your machine and
don't know where to start? Don't know what a bumper skirt is?
This page is devoted to helping you get the parts you need
without the pinball jargon that can sometimes be associated with
any hobby. We have listed our recommendations for what we feel
you need for cleaning and fixing your game to make it be a part
of your home (to some even a member of their family). Things are
listed in our order of importance.

Of course we recommend a manual/schematic as your first
purchase. Not only is the manual
useful, a lot of the manuals have great looking graphics on the
front cover. Manuals are normally under $20.00.

A new Pinball (or balls if your game supports Multi-Ball).
The two worst enemies for destroying a pinball playfield are an
old ball and not cleaning/waxing it. Each new pinball is $1.60.

A new rubber ring kit is necessary, if your games rubber
looks yellowed, grayed, has no bounce, or is cracking, it needs
replacing. The Pinball Resource custom creates rubber ring kits
and knows just what size rings and the quantity you need them in.
All you need to specify is your game name.
Average cost per
game is $11.00.

Next would be a Pinball
Cleaner/Wax. As mentioned above, not having a waxed playfield
will lead to wear, paint removal, and a sluggish games. We
recommend Mill Wax for most pinball machines. Cost for a 16 oz.
Bottle is $8.39.

Is your game very dirty? If so, your probably need some Novus.
We currently have a starter set of Novus available, it contains a
bottle of Novus #1, Novus #2, and Novus #3 (all 8 oz) and a
6-Pack of Polish Mates for $14.88.

Every game needs light bulbs, whether there are some out or
the tips are black/burnt, they need to be replaced. You keep
spare light bulbs in your home, you need spare light bulbs for
your game. Most pinball machine use #44/#47 bulbs. We recommend
replacing #44 bulbs with #47 to reduce the heat/voltage
requirements. The #47 lamps are sold in box of 10 and cost $1.50
a box.

A new set of legs, bolts, or leg levelers
make the machine look sharp, and normally makes the spouse a
little more tolerable of a pinball game in the living room. Legs
cost $53.60 per set of 4 legs, a set of 4 levelers cost $2.40,
and 8 new bolts are $4.40.
