This group is for those of us who collect, restore, or just enjoy pinball machines made before 1946, including 'payout pinballs', early 'trade stimulator' mechanical tabletop models, and WWII vintage 'wartime conversion' pinball machines like the 1944 United 'Idaho' machine shown at right.

This group is designed to store any and all information on these machines, including FAQ's, pictures, archives, and restoration tips. Members of this group will also find a message board here so they may share information about these machines.

For the interested, our group also has an informational website with visuals, restoration how-tos and other interesting stuff at www.prewarpinball.com.
