Welcome!

WELCOME TO ARCADE AND PINBALL COLLECTING IN FLORIDA! Have you ever wanted to own your own classic arcade game or pinball machine? Do you already own a few games and would like to connect to other owners and players in Florida? This is your resource!

The Florida Arcade and Pinball Collector site is dedicated to helping collectors throughout our state. Here you will find a wealth of information and resources to help you collect and maintain these classic machines. One major hurdle we face in our hobby is the size of our collectibles. It's not easy to pack up a Ms. Pac-Man or a Pinball machine and ship it across the country! Thus everything we have is Florida centric to help you find local resources to avoid large shipping fees.

Are you a new collector? Looking to pick up your first machine or would like some information on how to get started? You've come to the right place! We have a very active message forum with hundreds of collectors willing to help you out. Simply VISIT OUR FORUM and introduce yourself! Joing this community has been and always will be FREE! We never charge anything nor do we sell games. We only exist to help collectors and promote the hobby in Florida.

Curly from Little Shop of Games is having his annual Open House on Saturday, April 10th. The open house will be located at his shop in Fruitland Park. The open house is scheduled to run from 3pm - 9pm and will feature free food, tons of playable games, an auction, a Pinball tournament, raffle, bonfire and other events. These open houses are always a blast so definitely plan on being there if you can!

More information can be found at Curlys Website (www.littleshopofgames.com) and in this THREAD HERE.

 Pinball Palooza Exhibit comes to Delray Beach

Running December 1st 2009 - March 28th 2010, the Pinball Palooza exhibit will feature The Art, The History and the Game of Pinball. Cornell will be hosting dozens of classic tables (some of which will be available to play) for this exhibit so it should be well worth checking out.  More information can be found at Cornell's website.

A brochure for the event is available here: PinballBrochure.pdf

New Auction Dates Announced!

Super Auctions has announced two additional Auction Dates for Orlando: April 24th and June 19th.

Per usual both auctions will be held at the Central Florida Fairgrounds. More information can be found under the Auctions Menu (look to the left! ). With more than 2 weeks notice hopefully these will be better than the last two. As always, check back here (and in the forum) for the latest auction information and results.
