What's the use in owning a pinball machine if you don't know anyone who can fix it? "Pinball Pirate" is a short subject film following the journey of filmmaker Aaron Robbins to find California's legendary pinball fix-it wizard, the Pinball Pirate.

I met Chris a few years back, he he one of the few people in North America that can actually repair system 80B boards. He brought my pinball back to life :)

I got a chance to watch him work on a machine. He's an electro-mechanical engineering artist. Extremely fast, extremely knowledgeable, and able to explain what he's doing on the fly while maintaining an intense focus on the machine as a whole than just the problem on hand at the moment. And thanks for mentioning Sam's in Cameron Park! I used to work nearby and had a lot of pinball lunchtimes there.

Lol. It's the details like the bolt heads that will drive me nuts if I know they're not right.

The pinball community is still very small, we all know each other. Pinball survives because collectors keep it alive, not the manufacturers.

Great video! Is there a version where the music doesn't drown out what people are saying? 🙄

I know Chris's less attractive brother, Andy. Great guy. Big heart, mediocre hockey player.

Quality is way down from what it once was. The sweaty guys on cocaine building these in the 70’s put our modern craftsman to shame.
