Repair & refurbishment

Arcade machine repair.

If an arcade machine has stopped working or is showing a fault, tell us what is happening. Arcade Direct can assess repairs and refurbishment requirements, then provide a quote based on the machine and the issue.

A considered assessment

Start with the fault, then the right route forward.

The original service covers arcade cabinets from classic games and pinball through to grabber and boxer machines. Explain the machine, the fault and any reference information in the service request so the team can understand the repair requirement.

Arcade Direct can assess gaming machines, but does not cover gambling or fruit machines.

Repair areas

The parts of the machine that need attention.

Cabinet repair

For physical cabinet damage at home or in a work environment, describe the condition and whether an insurance quotation is required.

Controls and coin systems

Joysticks, buttons and other controls can be assessed where the wider system is otherwise operational.

Monitor and video faults

Lines on screen, a weak image or no video can help identify where a repair assessment is needed.

Boards and older hardware

Older components and batteries can fail or leak, so include any board or power symptoms in your request.

Commonly reported faults

  • The machine has stopped accepting coins

  • A suspected motherboard fault
