Welcome to Hot Rodded Pins.

My name is Tim Reid, and for the past 15 years, pinball restoration has been both my passion and creative outlet. Like many enthusiasts, I began by purchasing my first pinball machine and diving into the process of restoring it to full working order. As my interest grew, I found myself focusing more on the cosmetic details and the intricate mechanical components, striving to return the gamea to their original glory.

Sharing my progress on a pinball collector's forum soon led to others reaching out, asking if I could restore their machines as well. What began as a personal hobby quickly evolved. I spent years refining my approach—paying close attention to every detail, and elevating the overall ‘fit and finish’ of each project.

Now, after more than a decade operating under the Hot Rodded Pins name, I’ve had the privilege of restoring games for collectors all across Australia. My goal has always been to deliver top-tier restorations that honour the legacy of these machines—restored from the ground up with the utmost care and craftsmanship.

If you're looking for a truly high-quality restoration, I’d love to hear from you. Please feel free to reach out via our Contact page.
