"The only legitimate use of a computer is to play games" Eugene Jarvis

Welcome to Steve's homepage. I am a collector of coin operated games based in Birmingham. Over the last 20 years I have owned over 2000 arcade machines. Pinball is my main interest and at the moment I have 112 machines ranging in age from 1964 (Gottlieb COW POKE ) through to 2004 (Stern THE SIMPSONS PINBALL PARTY). I also have 2  video games -  Williams Defender (1980) and Sega Star Wars Trilogy Deluxe (1997) plus an ever changing line of modern fruit machines.

The background picture on this page features our line up at the 2006 UK Pinball Show. Namely: Williams F14 TOMCAT (1987) , Bally ATTACK FROM MARS (1995) and Data East STAR WARS (1992)

I have a lot of machines in stock ready for restoration. I don't sell as-is machines anymore as there is a strong worldwide demand for spare parts. If a game is in bad asthetic condition or missing any major components it is broken up. Games worth saving are put to one side for future restoration. Along with my tekkie (Jon) we work through machines when we have the time although if someone is interested in a particular machine it can jump the queue so to speak. Please see my games for sale page. I am always willing to deal both swaps and part exchange.

I am based in Birmingham close to Spagetti Junction "at the heart of Britain's motorway network"
