Emailed Evan after hours asking if he knew where I could find a Monster Bash Remake; he responded within 20 minutes and within the week he was delivering a mint condition Limited Edition model to my house. Definitely won a customer for life.

I’ve purchased a few pinball tables over the years from Evan, the owner of Orange County Pinballs, and have a verbal agreement for a fair trade of one of those tables pending with him as well.Evan is a very hard worker, who takes great pride in a job well done. He has made the lengthy trip from the OC to where I live each and every time to personally set up and install all of those tables, and to fix a minor issue with a table, and has alway been accommodating of my schedule.There are many products I would purchase from a variety of stores, usually based on who has the best price. Not the case with Evan. He knows his stuff, has always done right by me in our business doings, and has earned my loyalty as THE go to guy for pinball tables in southern CA.

I just sold my Pinball machine to Orange County Pinball. The transaction was great, and the negotiation was straightforward and pleasant; they gave me more than I expected. Their customer service is outstanding. I cannot recommend them high enough. I would do business with them again without a second thought.

Will call Ebay to get honest reviews deleted which is a violation of the Federal Consumer Review Fairness Act. Missing bolt plate for leg and also was sent with 3 bad coils, and 2 filthy coil sleeves which would make the flippers stick upwards.-Edit First machine was passable. Review is as per second machine. Coils and sleeves will not deteriorate or be effected in shipping. Was delivered defective and missing parts. Wrote neutral review at Ebay about the issue. Evan called Ebay to have review deleted which is against the law. Beware, seller is conniving, which is hopefully apparent in his responses

They have a lot of machines in stock. I bought a fully restored Captain. Fantastic pinball machine from them. I made my deal with Evan, and got it for a decent price, and comes with a 30 day guarantee. They delivered the machine the following week as promised. Evan and his worker handled the machine with white gloves, and set it up inside my hose. I played with it everyday for almost two weeks, and a flipper got stuck. I call Evan and told him what happened, and he was at my house in two days and fixed it. Great customer service.

I have been looking for pinball machines since I remodeled my basement and created an arcade. I looked at all the various pinball sites online. Just by chance saw an ad for Orange County Pinballs. I sent them a message late in the evening and received an immediate reply from Evan. We talked about my goals and the games that I wanted to purchase. He has a great inventory and has connections to get just about any pinball machine that you are searching for. I am in Ohio, and I must admit that I was a bit skeptical about purchasing pinball machines from clear across the country. How does this work? Why not buy locally or from someone closer to Ohio? The answer is to buy your pinball machines from Orange County Pinballs. Evan is very responsive, his experience and knowledge is among the best in the industry. I received my pinball machines and when I saw them in person I was thrilled beyond belief! The pinball machines were in pristine condition! All that I could say was,WOW!! A 30 year old pinball machine that looked brand new! The delivery was on time and spectacular. Put your mind at ease. The shipping is world class. Phenomenal communication between both Evan and the shipping company. Shipping pinball machines is what they do. Evan is an experienced professional. In summary, I will not buy a pinball machine from anyone other than Evan. If you buy from anyone else, chances are youre getting less than you paid for. I cant say enough good things about my experience. From start to finish. If you want an awesome, amazing, beautiful, mind blowing pinball machine...you better talk to Evan.

I would like the thank Evan and the good folks at Orange County Pinball for helping our family outfit our game room with some really fantastic pins. We have purchased brand new and used machines from Evan and they are all in great condition. He brought his father with him to Bakersfield on one trip to deliver a machine and that was a fun visit as well. We are looking forward to more purchases in the future. Thanks Evan and OCP family, we are down with OCP.

I should have posted this when i bought Avengers Infinity Quest Premium from Evan months ago. Evan said he would keep me posted, when i purchased the machine. He DID!!!! Even called me repeatedly with information on the status of AIQ. Orange County Pinball let me know the time and day it would arrive. That day Evan called We are on our way AIQ arrived. Evan and a helper unboxed the pinball machine. Put legs on and set the pin up. They brought it in, set AIQ in my house and tested the machine. Evan had me play Avengers. Evan asked is there anything else i can do WOW. The process was so pain free, I was shocked. The next NIB will be bought from OCP!!!!

Fantastic experience from start to finish. This was my first time purchasing a pinball machine so I had many questions. Evan was immediately responsive and available - whether it be by call or text - to answer everything with patience and knowledge whether it be about the difference between the models, the history of the machine, or on modifications. It was also amazing that we were able to easily make an appointment to visit his impressive warehouse to try the machines before purchasing. We actually ended up purchasing a model we hadnt even intended on considering after seeing them all in-person! Delivery was immediate and professional and a quick Google search on price points shows that his fee was fair (and the cheapest we saw). Highly recommend!

Evan and his team at Orange County Pinballs are truly in a class of their own. Evan took my beat down and torn up Star Wars: Episode One pinball machine and literally made it brand new! I couldnt even believe it was the same machine! I had him rebuild the entire playfield and replace the old lights with all new LED lights that are one third the cost in electricity and look crisper and brighter than the original ones. All in all, I would highly recommend OC Pinballs for any purchase or repair. Keep up the great work Evan!!! Thanks again!

Evan at Orange County Pinball was great. He helped us out with the purchase of our first machine. Gave us his honest opinion on options. Delivery was smooth and timely. He has been very responsive on answering all our questions along the way.

I cant comment on the work they do...BUT, beware of his work ethics. I was told the hourly rate was 125.00ph. I took my machine in and was told it would be a flat rate of 975.00 and 125.00 ph after that. When I asked for an estimate of how many hours that covered, he said I dont want to work on it. Come get your machine. So, unless your willing to write a blank check, dont go there. Either doesnt know his business very well or is just plain greedy. My opinion

A few months ago, I purchased a Stern Star Wars Premium from OC Pinballs. I have to admit, I am a picky buyer in general, especially when making a large purchase. Evan didnt disappoint! He was on-time, the game was new in the box as promised, and the terms of the sale were the same as what discussed via text and email. I didnt take advantage of his offer to set up the machine, but he came prepared anyways. I highly recommend OC Pinballs to anyone in the market for a pinball machine. Thanks again for the excellent customer service.

Evan’s reputation in the Southern California pinball scene is excellent. He sells high quality used as well as new machines. Because of his wide experience and deep relationship with Stern, I recently purchased a Jurassic Park Pinball through Orange County Pinballs because I trust that he will be able to take care of any kind of issues that might arise, either personally or through SternOne other note of interest: if you have the opportunity to visit his showroom, it is in amazing array of machines to see and play! Very fun to talk pinball with Evan!

Fantastic people to do business with. Honest, timely, knowledgeable, friendly and dependable. I have bought 3 machines from them and I trust them to be fair in pricing and they stand behind their products. If you are looking for a machine in the greater Los Angeles area, they should be your first phone call. Always a pleasure and a great day when they come out!

Decided to get my first pinball machine an Iron Maiden Premium from here after reading the universally great feedback and I wasnt disappointed. Evan was very patient and communicative, fielding all my questions rapidly. Mike did an awesome job delivering the machine, getting it setup, and walking me through the basics of maintenance, troubleshooting, etc. Couldnt ask for a better experience from a pinball distributor. Thanks!

Orange County Pinballs has been fantastic with me. From answering my questions and concerns about investing in a pinball machine, to helping me understand general maintenance and up keep. Sadly the machine was damage in shipping, but Orange County Pinballs has been very friendly and helpful in resolving this issue as well. I am very pleased with Evan and the whole company!

Just purchase my first pinball machine from orange county pinballs. I was extremely happy with everything even with a few issues. There was slight damage to the machine, but the owner Evan corrected the issues and made me very happy. He responded to my messages immediately. I would not hesitate purchasing from them again.

I had the level of quality service from Orange County Pinball last Sunday that is simply not experienced often enough anymore, that they deserve a review that should bring new customers looking for a pinball store they can trust. Michael sold me the NIB floor model of Medieval Madness Remake at the last day of the Arcade Expo at the Museum of Pinball. Later that same night he delivered and delicately set up the new game in my home. Michael not only has a strong back and unlimited energy, but is a very skilled technician in trouble shooting games. Before he left after a very long day (& Expo weekend), a final check revealed that a switch was not registering touch nor score consistently. Michael checked the schematics and went right to the problem, made adjustments, and soon had it working properly. As he made his way to the door, he noticed a flickering LED, so he set his tools down and once again removed the glass to tighten the LED connection, even though I assured him I could fix it myself at that late hour. Purchase of this pinball game was by far the smoothest big ticket transaction I can recall ever experiencing, with delivery and competent set up the same day. I know that OC Pinball is where I am going to buy my next pin game and secure service and parts for the ones I already own. Give them a call and I am sure Evan and Michael will take care of you with the level of customer service that was common back in the good ole days when pinball machines made their debut.Thank you, Ed

I bought 2 machines from Orange County Pinball, one new and one a 1997 classic. Even though I lived 50 miles away, they delivered it the same day. Shortly thereafter, when I needed some maintenance on the older machine, Evan sent a technician at no cost to me (and I certainly expected to pay the charge).Recently I blew a fuse on one of the machines and Evan (owner) was able to troubleshoot it over the phone although Im terrible with electronics and was hesitant to try.If you want someone who is honest, low pressure and helpful in making a purchase as well as willing be there after the sale, this is the place buy your machine. You wont go wrong and I highly recommend them!

Best decision ever! I searched for 20 years for an Indiana Jones Pinball machine by Williams. I finally found it at OC Pinballs. Evan was fantastic to deal with at every step of the purchase. And today the machine was delivered from Fullerton all the way to my house in San Diego. I just couldnt be more pleased. As soon as I spoke with Evan when I visited his store several weeks ago I immediately knew he knew what he was talking about when it comes to pinball machines. Hes awesome. He immediately came across to me as someone I could believe and trust. Im a cautious consumer and making a large purchase is something I dont take lightly. Im not one to indulge myself but again, I looked for this pinball machine for a couple of decades. I REALLY wanted it! Thank you Evan for making this wish of mine come true and for being so great about all my questions as well as the awesome delivery and set up. I just couldnt be happier! Yay!

I recently bought my first classic pinball machine (BSD Bram Stokers Dracula) from Evan at Orange County Pinballs. The experience was positive throughout. Evan was extremely knowledgeable and gave me some good insights on things to consider (including whether or not it makes sense to go LED on some of the classic models... I decided it didnt in my case afterall and am sticking with regular bulbs). Purchase, delivery and set-up went very smoothly. When I had a couple minor problems in the first couple weeks after delivery (which is not uncommon ), Evan was very responsive and helpful to assist. A couple things required a minor adjustment, which he walked me through to handle myself, via email and over the phone. OC Pinballs is a good vendor, honest and dependable.

Worst experience ever in purchasing a pinball machine I’ve ever had. These guys post under eBay as a bogus name “pinsidertrading” and they are completely unprofessional and NOTHING like all the reviews here. Makes me question if these reviews are legit or just family members. RUDE and ARROGANT. Waiting for eBay to help with a resolution. I regret every minute I’ve spent dealing with them.

These folks are great. I was reticent about buying a used pinball game over the internet, but I am extremely happy with this company. Please purchase from them. EdwardGThis is my second post and third purchase from Orange County Pinballs. Orange County Pinballs should be your only source. I purchased a new Stern Star Trek LE Pinball Machine, and it arrives with issues. (Shipping is tough.) I sent Evan - at Orange County Pinballs - an email on a Friday night after hours - he was able to address the issue in a minute. So if you are buying a new or old game, go with Orange County Pinballs. They stand behind their products.
