About Our Restoration Workshop

Master Craftsmen & Electro-Mechanical Specialists

Established over two decades ago, London Slot Machines Ltd has grown from an artisanal repair facility into the United Kingdom's foremost authority on commercial-grade electro-mechanical amusement machines, classic solid-state pinballs, vintage video arcades, and nostalgic bubble jukeboxes.

While mass-market novelties and plastic reproductions flood modern consumer channels, our workshop is dedicated solely to genuine commercial cabinets — heavy-gauge steel, solid timber enclosures, authentic Japanese and American stepper reels, and original tactile button decks built to withstand decades of continuous operation.

Our 45-Point Electrical & Mechanical Audit

Every cabinet that leaves our workshop carries our personal guarantee of safety and operational perfection. When a machine arrives at our facility, it undergoes a meticulous disassembly process:

1. Chassis Stripping & Sanitisation: The steel frame is cleared of all commercial grease, grime, and environmental residue. Chrome trims are hand-polished, and timber side panels are re-laminated or clear-coated.
2. Power Electronics Overhaul: Original power supplies are stripped, bench-tested with oscilloscopes, and fitted with high-temperature, low-ESR Japanese capacitors to guarantee rock-solid voltage rails (+5V, +12V, +24V, +36V).
3. UK 230V Safety Certification: Mains transformers are isolated, earthed to British Standards, and issued an official UK Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) safety certificate.
4. Logic Motherboard & RAM Refresh: Critical memory backup batteries (lithium coin cells) are renewed to ensure game rules, sounds, and settings persist for over 10 years without leak damage.
5. Reel Optical Alignment: Stepper motor sensors, infrared opto-interrupters, and mechanical damper bushings are aligned to micro-millimetre tolerances for silky, rattle-free spins.
6. Domestic Amusement Configuration: Coin handling mechanisms are precisely recalibrated for brass souvenir tokens or one-touch free-play operation, ensuring complete legal peace of mind for home collectors.
