hgpinball owns these 3 pinballs:

| pinball name | DB | manufacturer | condition | is it for sale? | notes | pictures |
| FIREPOWER |
 | Williams (USA) | Set up, plays! | Never | The 2010 start of my collection was this Williams Firepower. It is now in a very good condition, fully functional. Boards overhauled. Extensive cleaning and retouching on PF (see before/after), 2K-automotive clear coat applied. All bulbs and flashers replaced by LEDs. Light mods on PF and BB: 5 flashing LEDs illuminate "Death Star", blue LEDs in flipper return lanes and red ones in F-I-R-E lanes. Added illumination of 3 eject holes to flash in unison with green arrows (red LEDs wired in parallel). Superband flippers. Latest mod was a replacement of the "ugly" metal flipper return lanes with plastic ones and the addition of self-created plastics above them, illuminated by the bulbs in the playfield surface - see the pictures! A 300dpi TIFF file of the lane plastics is available for free - let me know if you are interested! |

| PIN*BOT |
| Williams (USA) | Set up, plays! | Never | In 2012 I added this „Pin*Bot“ to my collection. Very good condition, fully functional. Boards overhauled, PF cleaned and 2K-automotive clear coat applied, all bulbs and flashers replaced by LEDs. Light mods on PF and BB: red/blue LEDs to enhance the two different sides of Pin*Bot and some translite motifs, added eject hole illumination (red LED wired to GI). Black aluminum mesh cover added over BB speakers. Die-cast model of space shuttle glued to vortex ramp. Superband flippers. Latest mod: addition of wire ramp from mini-playfield to left flipper return lane. This prevents the ball from just falling off the mini-playfield (and quite often draining between the flippers...) when it isn't led to the hole above the bumpers, the right return lane or the ball launcher lane. This mod changes the gameplay, e. g. the chance of gaining a extra ball is now higher. |

| ROCKMAKERS |
| Bally (USA) | Set up, plays! | Never | The 2019 addition to my collection is a Bally "RockMakers" (German Playfield and Machine Board version, but English Backglass). Complete mechanical and electrical overhaul done. Bulbs replaced by warm-white LEDs where applicable (GI and backbox). PF switched lamps had to stay incandescent type due to flickering effects with LEDs. A previous owner once repainted the cabinet in a very ugly design, not resembling the original in any way, and the paint was flaking now, so I did a complete repaint, inspired by a great paint work done on the same machine by Bywaterbros (look it up on this site). Playfield stripped, cleaned, polished and waxed. The broken backglass was scanned, photoshopped by myself and then reprinted on glass by a local printer (thanks to "Walter Perspektiven" in Oberhausen/Germany and all people involved - great work!). Last picture shows the relay that I built for the "Add-A-Ball" option. The necessary connections are drawn in the manual. |

The coin operated pinball machines listed above, including their images, were uploaded into our database by hgpinball himself; hgpinball is the sole responsible for the information contained in this page. The pinball machines shown above are not necessarily for sale! Please refer to the 4th column in the list to know whether a certain pinball is for sale or not. Most likely hgpinball's pinball machines are second-hand (used) pinballs that were once installed in bars and other public places; their value as a collectible largely depends on appearance and functionality of every single machine. |
