The Hardware Store of the Amusement World: Arcade, Pinball & Pool Table Parts

Keep the lights flashing and the balls rolling.

At Game Exchange of Colorado, our massive inventory of arcade repair parts, pinball machine parts, and pool table replacement parts serves as the ultimate lifeline for the amusement industry. We don't just sell games; we provide the professional-grade components required to keep them in peak competitive condition. 

From dedicated hobbyists performing frame-off restorations to high-volume commercial operators in need of "zero-downtime" solutions, we stock authentic OEM parts from industry titans such as Stern Pinball, Suzo-Happ, Brunswick, and Valley-Dynamo. From a single microswitch to a complete playfield overhaul, we have the hardware to keep your equipment from staying dark for long.

Pinball Parts: From Coils to Circuit Boards

Nothing kills the excitement of a high-score run like a "lazy" flipper or a dead bumper. To keep your silver ball action crisp, we recommend maintaining a proactive "Maintenance Kit" that includes common wear items like rubber rings, high-output bulbs, and specific fuses.

If your game feels sluggish, it’s likely time for a pinball flipper rebuild kit. Over thousands of plays, the plungers and links inside your solenoids develop friction; replacing these core mechanical components restores that factory-fresh "snap" to your gameplay. 

As a premier Stern pinball parts dealer, we carry everything from the latest Spike system circuit boards to vintage coils and plastics for classic Bally/Williams machines. If you can’t find a specific part number in your manual, our team of experts is here to help you identify the exact solenoid or opto-sensor required to get your machine back in the game.

Arcade Hardware: Joysticks, Buttons, and Power Supplies

The "touch points" of any cabinet~ the joysticks and buttons - take the most punishment. For commercial venues, a sticky button or a drifting joystick means lost revenue. We stock the world’s most durable arcade components, including genuine replacement arcade joysticks from Sanwa and Happ.

Whether you are building a custom MAME cabinet or restoring a 1980s classic, we provide the industrial-grade hardware that home consoles can't match. Beyond the control panel, we carry high-reliability switching power supplies and universal JAMMA harnesses to simplify your wiring. If your monitor is flickering or your board isn't booting, the culprit is often a failing power supply or a blown capacitor; we have the technical components to stabilize your hardware and extend the life of your cabinet by years.

Billiard Table Repair: Rubber, Pockets, and Hardware

Even the finest slate table requires periodic maintenance to stay "true." One of the most common issues players face is "dead" rails, where the ball hits the cushion and loses all momentum rather than bouncing. This is usually caused by the breakdown of the pool table bumper rubber. We provide high-quality K66 profile cushions that offer a consistent, predictable rebound for decades.

Our inventory also covers the structural and aesthetic details that define a premium table. We offer a full range of replacement pockets, from traditional leather drop-pockets for home heirloom tables to heavy-duty rubber return-pockets for commercial coin-op tables. When it’s time to re-felt, we provide the specialized bolts, shims, and slate wax needed for a professional-grade billiard table repair.

The Game Exchange Tech Tip: Troubleshooting 101

Before you order a major component, we recommend a "First-Pass" diagnostic to save you time and money:

1. Check the Fuses: If a specific feature (like a flipper or a light) stops working, always check the fuses on the power driver board first. A 50-cent fuse is often the only thing standing between you and a "broken" machine.

2. Clean Your Sensors: Opto-sensors (the infrared "eyes" that track the ball) are prone to dust buildup. A quick wipe with a cotton swab and isopropyl alcohol can often fix a game that thinks a ball is missing.

3. Voltage Test: If your arcade game is resetting during play, use a multimeter to check the +5V rail on your power supply. A small adjustment to the voltage knob can often stabilize an older game.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do I find the part number for my pinball machine? 

The best way to identify a part is to consult the original game manual, which usually includes an exploded diagram and a parts list. If the manual is missing, most parts (like coils or circuit boards) have a manufacturer’s sticker with a part number printed directly on them.

2. Are arcade buttons a universal size? 

Not exactly. While many "American-style" buttons (Happ) use a standard 28mm hole, "Japanese-style" buttons (Sanwa/Seimitsu) often use a 30mm or 24mm snap-in design. Always measure your control panel holes before ordering replacement arcade joysticks or buttons.

3. Do you offer bulk pricing for commercial operators?

Yes. We understand that FECs and route operators need to stock common wear items in volume. Contact our sales team for bulk quotes on buttons, joysticks, and coin-mech components.

4. What is the difference between a "dead" rail and a "live" one? 

A "live" rail provides a sharp, energetic bounce when the ball strikes it. A "dead" rail feels soft and "thuds," absorbing the ball's energy. This is usually a sign that the rubber has hardened with age or the glue bond to the wood has failed.

5. Can I return a circuit board if it doesn't fix my problem?

Because electronic components can be easily damaged by static or incorrect installation, returns on circuit boards are generally limited. We recommend troubleshooting with our tech team before purchasing expensive boards to ensure it is the correct solution for your issue.
