Restoring More Than Machines
We help people in recovery find purpose, structure, and community – by teaching them how to bring vintage pinball machines back to life.
mission
At Restorative Pinball, we believe recovery isn’t just about staying sober – it’s about rediscovering purpose. That’s why we invite people in recovery to roll up their sleeves, learn the hands-on craft of restoring vintage pinball machines, and build something meaningful. Side by side in the workshop, they repair what was once broken – not just in the machines, but in themselves.
How It Works
At Restorative Pinball, individuals in recovery work alongside mentors to learn the art of repairing vintage pinball machines. It’s a hands-on way to gain structure, develop skills, and reconnect with purpose – all while helping preserve these amazing pieces of history.
Just like the machines we restore, people in recovery often need time, care, and community to come back to life.
