High End Pins is a full
service pinball restoration company founded in 2001 by
Owner, Christopher Hutchins. It has been his all consuming
passion ever since.
Pinball restorations are taken
to the absolute highest level using the finest equipment
and housed in a great environment that provides everything
from complete climate controlled game storage that is
properly insured to a fully equipped refinishing shop. This
level of commitment has helped produce a track record
that
is second to none and one of the industry most reliable
sources for total game restoration. High End Pins has
been contracted to do some of the most valuable games, high
profile projects and one of a kind prototypes within the
pinball community. Chris has spent over half of his lifetime
studying, applying and perfecting many of the very
techniques that are used in the art of pinball restoration
so in addition to the actual 8 plus years spent doing it
exclusively on a daily basis thus far he is extremely
knowledgeable and experienced in EVERY single part of the
refinishing process start to finish.
You will not find a better
option for restoring your machines than High End Pins. They
restore every single piece of your game one at a time
instead of just restoring the machine as a whole and leaving
out the minor details.
What that means is that the
game is completely disassembled and rebuilt from the ground
up.
Each part is removed,
polished, painted, replaced, plated …whatever it takes to
make that part look just like brand new or better!
This
philosophy is used on every piece - no matter how big or
small.
So whether it is the obvious
things like the playfield and cabinet or less obvious parts
like the screws that hold it all together, the boards and
connectors in the head, your machine is given the highest
attention to detail.
The
result is a game that has had it’s complete history erased
as well as being given the protection that will allow years
of play without the stress of deterioration.
In most people’s opinion these fully restored games will
actually exceed, in both form and function, the game as when
originally built.
The finished product can be
inspected inside and out. Considering the dwindling supply
of these machines and the decline in condition of what is
left out there, it is a great way to get a "new in box"
experience and reliability out of an item that was made a
decade or longer ago.
The games are truly
remanufactured - not just restored or shopped.
A
look through the photo gallery will show the level of detail
and experience that goes into each game.
