Jill and Mark's Miami Pinball and Vintage Vending Machine Page

Ever since we were young, we played the silver ball. Here are some of our beauties. If you live in South Florida, especially in Miami Beach, and have any pins for sale (need not be working, we will repair ourselves) or trade, send us an email. We will pay cash and pick up. Right now, we're mostly interested in older games, especially 1970s drop target Gottliebs and late 70s or early 80s Ballys. Occasionally we do sell our machines, and occasionally we do EM repairs in our local neighborhood. We are also interested in buying vintage soda and candy vending machines, especially Stoner Candy Machines (Univendor type) and U-Select-It Candy Machines (round tops).

Games We Are Interested In Buying

The Main Gameroom


Shown here are Centaur (Bally 1982), Silverball Mania (Bally 1980), Harlem Globetrotters (Bally 1979), Capt. Fantastic (Bally 1976), Surfer (Gottlieb 1976) Gold Strike (Gottlieb 1975), and El Dorado (Gottlieb 1975).



Shown here is the Super Chexx Bubble Boy Hockey Game. In the background is one of the newly constructed oceanfront condos that Miami Beach has become imfamous for.



Continuing around the room, we see a working, beautifully restored 1950s Vendo 81 Coca Cola Soda Machine, along with a double bubble Pepsi Cola clock, also from the 1950s.



Here is a classic 50's U-Select-It restored candy machine. Candy for ten cents!



And Jill's personal favorite, a restored 50's Stoner Jr. candy machine. Two nickles gets you one of six varieties of candy bar!



Next, we have an assortment of vintage signs, thermometers, and more candy machines. Here you can get chewing gum for a penny, or a Hershey's chocolate bar for a nickle. Don't have a nickle? No problem, we have a fully working, vintage 1950's Vendo Coin Changer, which gives nickels for either a dime or a quarter, shown mounted on the wall on the right side of the picture.



Here is a Coin-O-Matic coin changer from the 30s. It is not quite as slick looking as the Vendo Coin Changer, but it is actually more reliable!



The double-sided bar area comfortably seats six. A second Vendo 81 soda machine can be seen in the background. That one is an earlier model that is all red, all original, and working.



Here is a better look at the other Vendo 81, and also a second unrestored U-Select-It machine.

Youth Center Pinball


We provide and maintain a few pinball machines at our local youth center. The current lineup is a Super-Flite (Williams, 1974), Capt. Fantastic (Bally 1976), Target Alpha (Gottlieb 1976), and Flash Gordon (Bally 1981). We are always looking to rotate games in and out. The games are generally in nice working condition, but not collector quality. If you have some low budget games for sale please contact us.
