Our philosophy - pinball / pinball machines
The love of pinball
PhilosohpieOne thing unites all our employees and partners: the decades-long love of pinball. Pinball machines have accompanied us all since our earliest childhood. Until today this fascination has not left us. For us, there is only one thing that can be more beautiful than playing a perfectly restored pinball machine: restoring the pinball machine perfectly!
It is an incredibly fulfilling job. Every day you see the progress, you see how completely neglected machines become pinball machines again, which are better than new. And when the first ball is pulled off after 100 or more hours, the small happiness is perfect.
Class instead of mass
We focus exclusively on class instead of mass. We do not sell off-the-shelf equipment that is available on every corner. Our customers attach great importance to unique equipment - equipment that has been painstakingly restored to perfection with love and passion.
Pinball dreams
You can see this love of equipment in every detail of our work. We create pinball dreams in the truest sense of the word. Let us enchant you too!
Customer service
A tiresome topic. Too often one is simply disappointed - many promises - high expectations and when it comes to it the service usually remains nevertheless on the distance. We all know this. That's why we are highly motivated to show that it can be done differently. We keep what many promise. We take care of the needs of our customers because we love our product and are indebted to our customers, because they make it possible for us to do this dream job. We help when it's stuck - Without ifs and buts
Chronicle
How it all began
PhilosohpieThe story of how Pinball-Dreams came into being is quickly told. Many of you might recognize parallels to your own experiences, a lot of things might seem familiar.
You have spent large parts of your youth trying to crack the highscores in pubs and arcades. Pinball machines have always held a special fascination. Then pinball disappeared more and more from the public eye, other interests came to the fore.
Many years later, people rediscover their love for the machines. The first own pinball machine is bought and one begins inevitably to occupy oneself with the technology and restoration. The first pinball machine is followed by others, you get to know like-minded people from the area and you exchange ideas.
Pinball base Saarland
That's how we - Alexander Fuchs and Henrik Maurer - got to know and appreciate each other in 2005. Together we already have 60 machines.
A short time later the possibility arises to rent an old theater in the countryside. Sufficient space for workshop and show room. Without further ado, this is converted into a pinball base. Here the pinball friends meet regularly to tinker together and exchange their experiences. There is enough space to finally present the collection and to play together.
Professional structures
We quickly realize the opportunities that can arise here. With this collection of absolute specialists and concentrated know-how, it should be possible to realize a dream: to turn a hobby into a profession. Many conversations are held with potential employees and partners from industry and trade. The overwhelming feedback of these conversations ,the omnipresent enthusiasm allows only one decision:
Pinball-Dreams is founded at the beginning of 2007, all necessary machines and tools are purchased, the first two employees are permanently employed....a dream becomes reality. Today Pinball-Dreams consists of a team of 6 permanent employees. We are also supported in our work by a freelance master carpenter, master painter and 3 airbrushers. For each trade an absolute specialist in the team.
