Batteries? I didn't know Pinball Machines had Batteries!

Updated: Jun 18, 2020

Batteries were a staple in pinball machines because they kept high scores and various settings. The problem is that many owners did not realize certain facets of their machines run on batteries until the machines stopped working.

The games stopped working because the batteries leaked acid on the components. It is very important when valuing a game to look at the condition of the batteries and CPU boards to determine whether or not there is damage. In some cases, it can be cleaned up quickly. In other cases, the CPU boards are trashed and must be replaced; which, can run $200-$500 depending on the game.

Thank you to the crew of Pinballvalue. I was looking to sell my Stern Sopranos and these guys made it easy. Ron offered a fair price for the machine. He was professional and move the machine with care

Lots of "newness" this coming year. Pinball Machine prices continue to keep pace with inflation. However, one thing we have noticed is that higher value pinball machine game sales are starting to slow
