Why aren’t you open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week?
We would love to, but we aren’t machines. We all have other jobs, and this is a 100% volunteer gig with no salaries. We do this for the love of pinball and children’s charities.
Do you buy or sell pinball machines?
We do buy games sometimes – our interest depends on title, condition & price. If you have a game, you’d like to sell,, give us a call or email us some details.
Do you guys have [Fill in the blank with the name of your favorite pinball machine]?
If you don’t see your game on the floor, we may still have it in the “vault .” We try to rotate and introduce new games periodically so you might see the game in the future. We usually have 25+ games on display. Our current games list is available here, we announce new games on our Facebook Page or Instagram Page, so follow us for updates.
Do You Repair Pinball Machines?
Old pinball machines break! Just the way it is! We do most of our repairs on our machines at the museum. Most of the people that used to repair these antiques have passed on. But if you have a pinball machine in need of repair, sometimes we can get you in touch with a pinball repair tech.
Is it ok to take pictures or video in the museum?
If you are just taking non-commercial pictures/video, to share with friends, that is no problem. We simply ask that you do not impede other guests. If you would like to set up a commercial shoot, send us an email describing your request. We are happy to do press interviews so we may be able to accommodate your request once we learn a bit more about it.
Where did the idea for the museum come from?
The Myrtle Beach Pinball Museum grew out of Jerry and Sheila’s personal collection. It all started when Jerry bought a pinball machine for his real estate office. The game plan was to have something for kids to play while their parents talked about real estate with the Realtors. The idea went well, so he added another machine …then another…then another…you know what happened next… soon they started coming home…and the rest is history. Rather than have a collection of pinball machines just sits in someone’s private warehouse or garage, our goal is to support a permanent place, “a museum of fully playable machines,” where the public can not only see them but actually PLAY all their old favorites. We are on a mission to bring back this beloved art form. It’s not a paid gig…it’s 100% volunteer, no salaries. It’s about giving back to the community. This has been 3-year labor of love, and we are thrilled to finally share our passion for pinball and charity with you!
