"Flipped for the first time 30 years ago...a Jungle Lord. And actually it was always clear: I'll buy something like that myself someday! The decision but always discarded....Where do I get exactly THAT? What if the thing is broken? Where do I get spare parts and also someone who knows about the device?

A few weeks ago I googled for fun and found the answer to all my questions: Pinball - Dreams! And they have or had:-) 'nen restored in stock....

Just by reading the website and at the latest from the first message from Henrik it was clear: Here is not only absolutely serious, customer-oriented and with great attention to detail, but simply worked with heart!

And what can I say, this week was it...Birthday, Easter and Christmas in one: The Jungle Lord arrived in its new home, perfectly restored, delivered by the boss himself - more festive day is not possible! And since then it sounds : "Fight in the Jungle again!" ...and again...and again...and again....:-)

Many,many thanks to you Henrik and your great team!!! Simply a fantastic work of very sympathetic people who love their job!

Many greetings from Lake Constance".

"Henrik is The Man!

Bought used in 1991, my Paragon was actually running just fine. Then, on a whim, I decided to take the box apart to give the gem a bit of a tune-up...stupid!!! The result was a nearly 25-year hibernation (no time, no parts, no space, no inclination, no idea...).

In May 2017 then after some research trip to Saarbrücken, "sweetheart" should sing again, sound, shine and blink. Discussion with Henrik: "Let's do it!"

Half a year later again across the republic: pick up. In between various mails and phone calls ("should we do this", "do you want that"? Klaamachma!). Very attentive, competent and customer-oriented-super!

Then the reunion (and listening) a time travel to the end of the 70s: Paragon is back. Looks almost like new and plays exactly the same. The welcome is followed by a free game, then a beer to celebrate the successful completion of the project. For crying

If only Pinball Dreams could restore me as much as "Sweetheart"-sigh.

Enough exclamation points: Many thanks to Henrik and his fantastic team!!!"

Norbert Brauer, Bremen

"Over 30 years and now in the second generation, the passion, business but also the fun with steel balls was passed on! As an authorized dealer of the largest global supplier of bearings and accessories, it is only logical to play with balls even besides the stress! For this there is nothing better than a pinball machine!!!

After a long search and many questions in the pinball market, we heard again and again the name Pinball-Dreams or Henrik. And since good Henrik was able to offer our much desired Indy pinball machine promptly, we took action and after delivery by Henrik we were spoiled with a pinball machine that was so beautiful and new that we couldn't believe our eyes.

Wonderful work from very nice people who answer questions about pinball immediately and you can feel the passion that is built into the equipment!

Many thanks to the team of Pinball Dreams".

Alex Ludwig

"The almost 40 year old pinball machine was remarkably rebuilt. It was an excellent gift for Christmas for the whole family. I would like to thank the Pinball Dreams team very much for their fantastic work.

I am overjoyed and very satisfied with the result!"

Brenda Dobay, Budapest

"My husband dreamed of owning a Whirlwind pinball machine since we knew each other. For his birthday I finally bought one for him from Pinball-Dreams.

Really great quality and nice contact.

Thank you very much for your effort."

Family Miners, Ramstein

"Dear Mr. Maurer,

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your team for the great work on my pitch.

I would never have thought that you could get the pitch back to looking so nice.

Yours sincerely"

Simon Heimbach, Krefeld

"Dear Henrik, dear Pinball Dreams team!

After a long time we finally have our Cirqus Voltaire back and it is better than ever. As we both know the pitch was pure disaster, but the Pinball-Dreams team did a fantastic job. Just wow how you guys pulled it off. My dearest and I are very happy that it is now shining like new again. Without you this would not have been possible! Thank you for everything, gladly again.

Many greetings from the north of Germany "

Ricci & Sascha.

"I bought this pinball box for my wife for her birthday. It never worked properly. Then I had it repaired by a company in Holland and even then it stopped working after a short time. I read on Maarkplats.nl - someone sold his pinball - restored by Pinball-Dreams. I never heard Pinball-Dreams and then I looked. I emailed Williams and they said - we've heard that name before - it's a good name in Europe. I read further on the Internet and read only good words about Pinball-Dreams. So I decided to have the pinball made by professionals.

It took a little time, but the result is just great. All the bulbs shine brighter than ever, the playfield is just beautiful, everything works very smoothly and the ball runs very smoothly. The case is also German workmanship with great edges. Everything is perfect. Thank you very much. We're very happy and tonight my friends are already coming - we'll have a few beers and I'm sure we'll play a lot of pinball over Christmas."

Sergio Wiggers, Netherlands

"Dear Henrik,

it is fantastic. A time machine was invented in Saarbrücken that catapulted me to the year 1980...and there is no escape from this flashback. Old memories surface in the fog around the Golden Cliffs, drop targets in the Valley of Demons beg for mercy, the Beast's Lair is as treacherous as ever, and mythical creatures fascinate even our four-legged friends. The Paragon is still the giant!

Many thanks to you and your team for the pinball machine, the loving restoration and the cool visit with you."

Jo & Family

"Oh, it turned out beautifully (..) the long drive was really worth it.

Thank you so much.

I am thrilled."

Andreas Brunn, Switzerland

"I got all the body parts as NOS parts in the USA.

This playfield is the crowning glory of the project - better and more beautiful than new.

Thanks a lot!"

André Bärlocher, Switzerland

"The guys really did a great job. The field was literally in ruins, but Henrik and his crew made it better than new. Almost too bad to play on it afterwards.

Besides, customer friendliness is immensely important in this operation.

Hats off! ... and the next pitch is already as good as yours!!! Keep up the good work!!!"

Steve Grettnich, Luxembourg

"Wow - it turned out like new and the Indy is just gorgeous.

Thank you very much - I am very satisfied."

Schmitz family, Wittlich

"Wow - I am totally thrilled and glad that I decided to have the playing surface restored and painted.

Also the tip with the Superflux-Led's was great.

Beautiful result!"

Kurt Strebel, Switzerland

"I am very happy with the work that Pinball Dreams did on my "Destroy Centaur" project for my exhibition at the Mima Museum in Brussels. They did an immaculate job covering everything and making my machine as new, although trashed with new artwork and distorted sound. I appreciate that they were open for this weird project and thought with me how to make it the best possible. Thank you very much!"

Boris Tellegen

Urban Art Artist from Amsterdam

"This has always been my absolute favorite pinball machine - so many memories attached to it.

Fantastic that it was possible to get a Harlem that is actually better than new.

Am thrilled."

Carsten Barra, Saarbrücken

"Am I glad I decided to have the playfield completely restored. I will always congratulate myself on that decision when I stand by the finished pinball machine.

Actually, it's incredible that you guys were able to get it back together."

Peter Kehry

"This pinball machine has a special meaning for me. Inherited this one. Am very happy that I found you guys.

I have always wanted to restore this pinball machine and now I have finally found real professionals whom I can entrust this pinball machine.

And what can I say: the result has confirmed me. simply stunning what you have conjured from the old treasure.

Thank you very much - I am very happy about it."

Manni Seeger, Uhldingen

"This was and is my childhood dream come true.

Really great that I could get this pinball in such a condition.

Thank you very much."

Manfred Bäuchle, Offenbach

"The result is incredible. I hardly dare to play the pinball machine because it turned out just beautiful.

The sound is the best I have ever heard on a pinball machine.

Great job!"

Frank Stepper, Satteldorf

"Thanks a lot to the Pinball Dream team. My old love is reborn, thanks to a perfect work of the guys my Black Knight is guaranteed to be the most beautiful pinball in the world ;-)).

The job was done perfectly, with great attention to detail and trust. That even the backglass was newly raised is the crowning glory ! Thank you!"

Jörg Schubert, Marburg

"I am very pleased with the work done by Pinball Dreams.

The pitch is better than new and the contact is absolutely top notch."

Christian Hildebrandt, Bruchsal

"Today the photos of the LOTR completed 2 weeks ago.

For me a super result. Thanks to you. Greetings Dieter"

Dieter Gebauer, Oedheim

"Project: Father, Son and Captain Picard: A dream STTNG, certainly better than new. Unbeatable visuals, insanely good technology and a great sound! The money spent on the extra options was more than worth it.

Many thanks to the Pinball-Dream-Team! Until the next pinball?

Best regards from Markus and Dieter" Markus and Dieter Höhne, Hennef

"I was about to stick this overlay film on the pitch - I'm so glad I didn't do that.

It's really amazing what they were able to do with this worn out pitch - I'm absolutely thrilled."

Detlev Poweleit, Wuppertal

"Dear Henrik,

this afternoon I had a quiet look at my beautiful Surf Champ and I really have to compliment you again. Fantastic!

Now I'm looking forward to the Simpsons of course huge! Best regards Chris"

Chris Habegger, Switzerland

"Dear Henrik, Dear Pinball Team,

as a Guns n' Roses fan, this pinball machine had been my dream for a long time. Now it is with me, perfectly restored. You did not promise too much. It not only looks great, but also plays great.

Thank you for everything and keep up the good work and of course all the best for the future.

Love from Maik"

"Our dream pinball machine in a unique condition. Has absolutely exceeded my expectations.

Am speechless. Thank you very much."

Alex Jörg, Berlin

"This pinball machine has a long history. I got this very pinball machine, my childhood pinball machine, via many detours.

The fact that you have got it right again. I'm really very excited. We are all very happy about it."

Berthold Giese, Düsseldorf

"As always great work. Now that there are more than ten Playfields from you, I want to say a personal thank you for the great work you do.

The Playfields look just fantastic after a visit to Pinball Dreams. Thank you very much www.pinballs.at"

René Gruber, Austria

"Like the phoenix from the ashes, my Rolling Stones pinball machine has risen after a good 10 years and it's better than ever.  Many thanks to the whole Pinball Dreams team, you have done a great job.

Only the saved record of Henrik I don't find so funny, I haven't cracked it until today."

Michael Pfister, Pratteln Switzerland

"Wow -- that was my first reaction to our restored playfields. It's really amazing what the team at Pinballdreams has done with these totally yellowed and worn out playfields of our Bugs Bunny Birthday Ball. Almost too beautiful to play ;-)  But not only because of the professional work but also because of the great and nice service, the next and certainly not last playfield is already on order."

Jessica Henning, Kreuzwertheim

"Hello Henrik,

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your team once again for the dedicated and perfect work to restore the playfield for my Highspeed -Flipper. The result is PERFECT !!!! Can only recommend :-)

Thank you very much and keep it up !!!!!!!

See you soon, Jens"

Jens Kottmann, Dreieich

"A huge PRAISE ! I can not say it in words, you have exceeded my expectations by far. The playing surface of my Terminator 2 has become so cool and just perfect, you can hardly touch it so beautiful it has become.

Also a big praise to you Henrik for all your tips that you have given me. I will and can only anyone who loves his pinball PINBALL - DREAMS recommend here you will not be disappointed you get here really the best quality (better than NEW) super super super super !!!!

Thank you very much, greetings Sönke"

Sönke Siemsen from Osdorf, near Kiel

"Hi Henrik,

sooo... the long wait is over, and that package arrived on Friday with me. Impatiently opened immediately... what can I say - WOW. I've seen a lot in the hobby, but not yet....

The thing is really better than it was when it came off the assembly line - your attention to detail in the restoration is really unparalleled.

Here a very big thank you! I will gladly come back to you for all PF restoration needs!

Cheers, Georg"

Georg Hinterhofer, Austria

" Always thought I bought good pinball machines. But next to the brilliance of the Totan, the neighboring pinball machines pale into endless inconsequentiality. Man, the Totan has become horny - it's the only one I can play in the dark. Only then does the playing field exude its full charm. Also the sound is awesome, in certain game situations the whole case vibrates!!!  The mirror plates in the dark - speechlessly beautiful!

Conclusion: congratulations to you (and of course me) for the truly outstanding result."

Johnny Weigl, Weissenburg

"I was not really surprised when the pitch came back because I had of course read up on the work of Henrik and his team beforehand. Nevertheless, my expectations were exceeded. How they managed to turn my ruin into a like-new playing field will remain a mystery to me forever.

Apart from the impressive new look, the ball now has a sensationally smooth running behavior which prompts me to pack the next playfield and send it to Saarbrücken as well. A huge thank you again."

Fred Gutberg, Duisburg

"After hearing a lot of good things about Pinball-Dreams, I called the Henrik short hand. After a very nice conversation , I brought the site to Saarbrücken. What can I say, after some waiting time (Rome has also not been built in one day) I can only say the Monster Bash is really the HAMMER !!!!

Plays really great and also looks GREAT. I can only praise the guys from Pinball-Dreams. Thanks again for this beautiful Monster Bash....

Looks awesome and plays great !!! You guys know your stuff :-)

I recommend you guys!" Frank Ingenhoff, Moers

"Now you've done it!!!

The box is the absolute hammer. Thanks to a small modification, the house now shakes during the multiball and a gigantic light orgy takes place behind the curtains. Excellent advice, fantastically implemented.

Of course, I had made myself a picture of the abilities of Henrik and his team at Pinball-Dreams in the workshop before. But what arrived at the end at my home is so what "Good show old man". Especially when you think about the starting point, what a pile of junk. Unbeatable. And now... "It has to warm up... so it can kill you! Showtime!"

PS: I'm especially happy about the little personal dedication on the pitch." Thomas Duscha, Bonn

"Dear Henrik, dear Pinball Team,

as promised, I want to get in touch with you again. As a Guns n' Roses fan, this pinball machine had been my dream for a long time. Now it is with me, perfectly restored.

You did not promise too much. Not only does it look great, but it also plays great.

Thank you for everything and keep up the good work and of course all the best for the future. Best regards from Maik"

Maik Worschech, Weißwasser

"The defective and slightly faded basement find "Strikes and Spares" was actually almost on my disposal list. Thanks to "pinball-dreams" the heirloom now shines again in its due polished gaudy 70s look and is also technically back like 'ne one.

Many thanks to Henrik and his team for the great work and the patient and always layman-friendly advice from the beginning. I am very happy to have dared the project "Restoration Stage 2" together with you because the result is really worth seeing: From ugly duckling to a real eye-catcher. Fantastic!""

Wolfgang Jakob

"Q*Bert's Space Adventure.....".

Well not quite ;) But the work Henrik and his team from Pinball Dreams have done to make my beloved Diva Space Station shine in new splendor has indeed something of an adventure ;) It's scary what little things add up to this. The guys did a great job to put the playfield in a better than new condition, in addition there was a large pack of LED ( that must not be missing in the device ), the Madame got a very well tuned sound system ( I will not want to have another one, sounds much more natural than other sound systems ). With the black mirror plates and the pads on the pinball fingers, the boys have completed the space theme really well. At my request, there were still illuminated pinball buttons and an improved and modified "Condition Green" in terms of illuminated starposts ( you have to see and hear it in real, as this underestimated old little machine knows how to celebrate you, especially in high score mode ;)).

"Good morning Henrik

have the Pinsoundboard (with sound files of final product) on Saturday still connected. Immediately times the bass turned up and then attention: I thought it would be a shaker installed absolutely Oberhammer. Immediately bass turned back a little and volume on 8 that is quite enough. With the built-in Pinballdreams poti ratio adjusted and good. Went actually quite simple and fast. The sound is really like in the cinema at an action movie, the madness, so makes pinball fun!!!

Attached picture and now my comment for homepage:

My Indiana Jones was optimally designed by Henrik's Pinballdream team according to my wishes. I am absolutely thrilled, especially the perfect playfield I would like to emphasize here. The Indy stands better there like new pulled out of the box.

The wait was more than worth it, absolute top performance. Here you can really talk about "Made in Germany"!!! This is finest craftsmanship.

My next pinball restoration will go to Henrik again."

Thomas Krug

"Cult American designer Gerg Freres, who has been responsible for the artwork of so many classics including Medieval Madness, Fathom, Harlem Globetrotters, Rolling Stones, Star Trek the next generation and many others, visits Pinball Dreams.

"Your pinball parts are really beautiful. It's so nice to see these beautiful additions.

Great work - I wish I could take one home, but I don't own any more Medieval Madness. Do you mind if I take a few photos?"

Greg Freres, Cult Pinball Designer
