        Welcome to the ALL NEW Prewarpinball.com...

    the only website on the Internet dedicated to the collection, restoration and enjoyment  of some of the rarest, most interesting pinball machines ever made...
historic 'flipperless' pinball machines built before 1948 by such famous names
as Gottlieb, Bally, Exhibit, Genco, and Rockola (among others).

We will cover collecting and restoring early purely mechanical or 'trade stimulator'
  tabletop models from the early 1930's, 'payout' gambling pinballs from the mid1930's
(like the 1934 O.D. Jennings 'Sportsman' shown here - from my own collection),
early 'EM' or electromechanical models from the late 1930's, and WWII era
'wartime conversion' pinballs - actual recycled pinball machines!

     Due to the age and rarity of these machines, these vintage pinball machines may present many special problems for potential restorers. So, those of you who are actively restoring or repairing one of these pinball machines will find restoration hints, 'how-to' articles, lists of parts manufacturers and vendors in this site.

  This page is part of a Yahoo! group for collectors and restorers of these vintage machines, and we are actively searching for new members to join our group. 
Anyone who is

own one) and would like to join our group may enter our webpage by clicking on the
