Welcome to Universal pinball, where we’ve been crazy about selling pinball machines since 2015! We offer both vintage classics and modern pinball machines for sale, unlike most retailers who will only sell newer models. All of my pinball machines have been completely refurbished and played for hours by myself and other top players Nationwide to ensure that they are in prime playing condition. As a highly-ranked professional pinball player and winner of major tournaments, I know how these games are supposed to play, unlike many resellers who are simply getting games working and moving them out the door. Send us an email for information on sales, rentals, or pinball machines.
Pinball machine sales nationwide are protected by a 1 year warranty. After that initial period, all of my customers receive discounted hourly repair rates on any problems, and lifetime tech support via phone and email. Buyers of pinball machines shipped anywhere also receive lifetime support, and I will help you find a local technician.
Our inventory is constantly changing. If you don’t see what you are looking for, ask me about it.

Our mission
My name is Jason Minch and I am the owner of Universal Pinballs. I have been playing arcade games and pinball machines for as long as I can remember. I spent a good portion of my youth at various arcades in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Many great places such as Putt Putt Golf & Games, Funway Freeway next to the Movies at Woodland (later to become Fun Factory) and Aladdin’s Castle in North Kent Mall.
In the late ’90s I bought my first arcade game – a Data East Bad Dudes. It didn’t work but I was intrigued by the idea of learning to fix it and bring it back to life. I fixed it and so started my obsession! Soon after, I got my first pinball machine – a Data East Batman. After only a couple of years I had over 30 arcade games and pinball machines in my personal collection.
In 2015 I took my love of competitive pinball and started the Grand Rapids Pinball League . The pinball league meets on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month. We also host a weekly pinball tournament at every Thursday at 7pm. It is open to players of all ages and skill levels.
