We will be moving towards a board swap model, where we will take your non working board as a core, and substitute it with a working board. This will allow for quicker turnover, and save shipping costs in many instances. Check back often as we will be listing individual boards for sale as soon as they are ready, and providing links here.

Bally test rigs Ottawa Montreal Canada Pinball Medics
This custom bench testing rig is the result of many years of design, acquisition, and assembly. This incredible setup includes some of the Holy Grails of test equipment, including early Solid State Bally test units from the late 70’s. The brainchild of Rob “The Exorcist” Illuiri, this incredible apparatus possesses enough Electric Magic to expose and banish even the most confounding of Demons back from whence they came.
Beyond the amazing bench testing setup your boards will be run through, our vast inventory of literally 100’s of working Pinball Machines of all brands and eras gives us the unique ability to test the boards we repair in an actual game of the same system, and often in the same game you own!
After your board is repaired, it will be stress tested on the bench for 24 hours to ensure reliability. Videos will be made of all boards running to confirm their functionality and will be included with your receipt.
We also offer technical support by phone or Skype to assist you in reinstalling the boards, or to help you remove them before bringing or mailing the boards to us for repair.
