Shop Information
Nathan does excellent work would recommend him to anyone wanting someone to go that extra mile. - Kim Oswald, New South Wales, Australia.
Quality workmanship, down to the smallest detail. Very knowledgeable and honest to deal with. - Cathy Green, Caryville, Tennessee.
The owner trained under the best of the best repair people I know, and the owner's work is extremely high quality. Bingo pinball repair and restoration requires a persistence and tenacity that is not needed for other coin-operated amusements. Through the owner's previous restoration work and discussions, I have seen that he has those qualities. He also stands behind his work, which is incredibly important. - Nicholas Baldridge
It's hard enough to find a shop that knows how to repair and restore classic Pinball, much less classic Bingos. Look no further, Dixieland is that place. Quality and service go hand in hand and Nathan stands behind his work! - Craig Smallish

Question #1: What comes in a game that's a "players game" ?
Answer: Thanks for asking that. A players game will be as follows: Original paint and no body work done. So, a few knicks and dings are expected. Game will work 100%. All stepper units, etc will be cleaned, lubed, and functional. All lights working. All chrome polished. New key locks for cabinet and coin door. New chrome leg levelers. Legs painted. New fuse block and heavy duty power cord. New rubbers on playfield. Playfield triple waxed and all posts and screws tumbled and polished. Backglass sealed to prevent flaking.
Question #2: What is considered a "full restoration game"?
Answer: Great question! Thanks for asking. A "full restoration game" is as follows: Cabinet and head will be fully stripped of all paint. Any dings, cracks or damage will be repaired. Hand wet sanded till mirror smooth. Triple coat of primer, then base coat paint added. All graphics will come from my HAND MADE stencils and will mirror the original game design as close as possible. Graphics will be layered and will appear as original when done. This process can take up to a month or so to complete. Game will work 100%. Inside lower cabinet will be stripped out, cleaned, primed and painted as well. Entire internals will be cleaned, and functoning properly. All lights working. All chrome hand polished and buffed. New key locks in cabinet and coin door. New chrome levelers. Legs painted. New fuse block and heavy duty power cord. New rubbers on playfield. Playfield triple waxed and buffed. All posts tumbled clean and polished. Backglass sealed to prevent flaking. New playfield glass.
Question #3: What is the expected wait time for a players game and a fully restored game?
Answer: I'm the sole worker so turnaround for a players game is around 2 months. A fully restored game will run around 6 months, as I will have to work on more than one game at time.
Question #4: Do you ship?
Answer: We currently do not ship.

The Key is Restoration, not profit
I understand the rising costs of the pinball craze. I travel all over the Cental, Northern, and Southern parts of the U.S. searching for the cheapest deals. I only use accredited dealers for new parts and supply purchases. The goal is to provide a great looking 100% functional game and preserve it for the next generation. Bingos are complex machines that require hundreds of hours of labor to achieve a perfect running game. We strive to make our games as reliable as possible. But keep in mind, some of these games are closing in on 70 years old!
