Phil is the only technician in the Valley who works on electro mechanical pinball machines. Fortunately, he is a great guy, who also knows what he is doing. My Wizard pinball machine (built in the late 70s) was need of maintenance. None of the lights were working, and I couldn't trust the scores. Phil came over to take a look. He was very friendly, had a great work ethic, and put me at ease that he could take care of the machine's issues. Two hours later, Phil had my Wizard machine humming along like it was new. Over all I had a great experience with Phil, and will use him again, if need be. read more

I have several old, old pinball machines. Things go wrong with them. Phil has been out several times to work on one or another of them, and he's fixed the problem every time. He's great! read more

Phil's Old Pinball Repair and Jukebox We received a Seeburg SPS160 Olympian Jukebox that my father in law had for many years, the Jukebox has not been used for over 10 years after his passing. We moved the Jukebox last week to our house and cleaned out what we could, but could not get the Jukebox to run pass selecting any record number. That is where Phil came into place, I did a search on Yelp and contacted Phil, he quickly responded to me. Phil came over got the jukebox to run, clutch was frozen and cartridge was replaced. It was working and then30 minutes after he left sound stopped. I contacted Phil again and he came back for a 2nd time and that is when he replaced the cartridge, we tested it again and success it was working. A couple days later jukebox was playing terrible, I called Phil and he suggested to replace the 2 needles, I did and at first it was playing rough. Phil contacted me to follow-up, I told him what I was experiencing, he made a few suggestions and said if I couldn't get it working he would come back. I switched the needlesin different combinations and finally got it to work as best as it is going to. Thanks Phil, you definitely went out of your way, plus I can tell you have a great love for these jukebo read more

I had the pleasure yesterday of having Phil come to my house and fix a broken score reel on my very old "Kings and Queens" Gottlieb EM Wedgehead pinball machine. A difficult repair that Phil accomplished in a little over an hour. "Since he was already here", he asked if there was anything else that needed fixing, or tuning up. He then proceeded to fix a sticky flipper, burnish 3 or 4 rollover contacts that were misbehaving, improve the game's turn on method, all while he sprinkled maintenance tips, other pinball resource names, and generally provided interesting and humorous conversations with me as his repairs continued. This professional and likable experience, he topped off by asking about another old Wedgehead that I owned, named "Aquarius". It had an intermittent, very frustrating reset issue, also involving a score reel that he carefully troubleshot and fixed. All of this at a reasonable price, while exuding a cheerful attitude and bonhomie. A nice guy with a tremendous amount of old pinball machine knowledge, and skills to match. Phil also then texted me later that night to make sure that everything was still working properly (it was :-) . Highly recommended. B. C. November 2023 read more

I have a 1959 William's Pinch-Hitter, an electromechanical machine (EM), that was no longer pitching and had other minor issues (lighting). There are not any EM service people in my area. I found Phil online and we communicated about the issues with my machine and he told me about his background and extensive experience with EM machines. I took my machine to Phil and he was able to troubleshoot the problems rapidly, made numerous other repairs, spent time showing me how to troubleshoot issues myself with the schematic of my machine, and had it repaired in short order. All of this was done for a very good cost. There are not many EM service experts still around and he is a valuable resource. The strongest recommendation that I can give is that I drove 450 miles to drop the machine off with Phil (and 450 miles to pick it up) and I would not hesitate to do it again if necessary because my experience was so good. I would like to think that we would be friends if we lived in closer proximity. SPP read more

Phil was very responsive and quickly resolved my issue in my older EM pinball machine. He took the time to take care of a few additional maintenance needs. read more

Recently purchased an old pinball. A 1977 Gottlieb Vulcan. As soon as I got it home I found out it had issues. Phil came highly recommended by another game repair company. So I called him and he got me on the schedule that same week. He spent a couple hours fixing everything. He went above and beyond showing me everything I would need to know for basic maintenance and repairs. The game works amazing now and the family is loving it. Thank you Phil!! read more

I found Phil randomly on Google and he was AMAZING! I have a Rockola 1946 jukebox and even though he doesn't work on Rockola regularly, he was able to replace a broken glass and get my jukebox working back to its original working condition. I can't say enough about him! He didn't over charge me and he was diligent on making sure it worked. All the work he did for me was incredible! It was my great uncle's jukebox... but he found a way and I couldn't recommend him more! All my gratitude Phil! I worked with some others in the past that over charged me, broke the glass and left it unworking. Thank you! I highly recommend him for any of your jukebox needs! read more

My wife had an old mechanical pinball machine (Captain Fantastic) from her childhood that we kept but didn't really use because it had so many problems. I decided to surprise her for her birthday by getting it fixed up. Phil scheduled his time so we could get it done without my wife being home. He spent around two hours taking it apart and fixing everything up. He was prompt, professional, friendly, and efficient. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for maintenance on their old pinball machines. The price was right, and the service was exceptional. read more

My husband and I have a 1972 pinball machine that had issues with it locking up. We tried another company to fix the problem, but it kept recurring. Then we were blessed to find Phil. He got us on his schedule and came to look at the machine. With his vast knowledge of the workings of the pinball machines of that era, he was able to solve the problem. The pinball machine is now working great and my husband has a smile on his face every time he plays it! Thanks Phil; you're the best!! read more

If I could give Phil 6 stars I would, we couldn't be happier with his service. We inherited a 1969 Wurlitzer jukebox from my Grandparents this year and shortly after moving it to our house it stopped working. It's an amazing piece of history and we love to listen to it, but had no clue how it works or how to fix it. We found Phil and got in touch with him and he came out the next day to take a look. Within 5 minutes he had it working again, then gave it a tune up, fixed a few old parts and made sure everything was working properly. As he was working taught me a lot about our jukebox and showed me how things worked and how to prevent future problems from happing. Thanks Phil! read more

I was researching Yelp for someone who could service a juke box and came across Phil. We inquired about the servicing and possible repairs and Phil responded quickly. It was easy scheduling an appointment. He provided a quote prior to coming out and after he arrived and looked at the insides, he provided an updated quote. He worked diligently on it as it had been in storage for awhile and was able to get it working. He even gave us tips of care and ordering of replacement light bulbs and walked us through how to use it. We will definitely be contacting Phil for future servicing. For your personal juke box repairs and servicing, I highly recommend Phil. You will truly benefit from his knowledge and service! read more

I've called and looked for anyone in AZ that can fix my jukebox that has been in my family for over 30 years. Unfortunately, due to it's age everyone told me only 2 people in AZ are left with the ability to fix it. The 1st one I tried was a horrific scam and costly experience (check out my review of Nostalgia Electronics), which left my jukebox in more disrepair than before he started. I then tried my only remaining option Phil's Jukebox repair and could not have been more pleased with the work he performed. He educated me about my jukebox, maintenance practices for it, and explained the most cost-effective ways for me to go about refurbishing it beyond just repairing it. He pointed out a couple of features I didn't even know existed on my jukebox, and It was very clear from the moment he started that he knew exactly what he was doing and wasn't trying to get it done quick but rather get it done right! On top of all that he was very pleasant, courteous, and even a little funny without even trying. I can't thank or recommend him enough. For the first time in 3 years I got to relive my childhood memories of playing old records on the home jukebox. My only regret is not having called him first and sooner. Thank you again Phil! read more

Found Phil through Yelp. He responded the same day and came out the very next day. He was funny and very knowledgeable about all things jukebox. He was able to make the hunk of metal sitting in my garage sing beautiful songs again. He services the entire valley which was great since we are in Mesa. So happy with his service. Thanks again Phil! read more

I have a 1957 Seeburg KD 200 that I have owned for 25 years, and my fluorescent lights quit working after replacing them all. Did not listen to my jukebox for months as not as much fun if its not working properly. It is almost impossible to find a tech that really knows his stuff. So I took a chance and called Phil. He is as good as they get, has my machine all lit up, and cleaned the Tormat unit. I highly recommend him, and I now have the peace of mind that I now have one of the best to work on my juke box. Thank you Phil!!!!! read more

If you have a vintage jukebox needing anything then Phil is your guy! Our 1952 Seeburg M100C is old, original, and tired so we contacted Phil to take a look at it. He was on time, reasonable, and knew everything about how to keep our machine working. We highly recommend using Phil for your jukebox needs. It is so refreshing to meet someone as honest and professional as Phil. GREAT job!! Thank you. read more

My mother loved her jukebox that played Motown on 45's. She passed away 14 years ago and we had never heard her jukebox again because it wasn't working. I thought I would give Phil a call to see if there was any like left to moms jukebox. After some extra elbow grease, time and effort he got it working!!!! Talk about nostalgia! I couldn't believe I was hearing her records again and to top it off it was Mother's Day weekend. I literally cried when he got it to work. I'm so glad I called Phil. He was also very nice and chatted with my son and I. He is trustworthy and knows his stuff!! I highly recommend Phil. -Stephanie R. read more

If you are looking for a reliable and diligent repair guy for your jukebox or pinball machine, call Phil. I thought my 1954 AMI 120 jukebox was toast and Phil got it running like it hasn't in years. He is also very reasonable in his pricing and a good guy. You will not be disappointed if you use him. read more

I contacted Phil a few days ago to see if he could help get my Seeburg HF100G working again. The motor and record mechanism were dead. He came to my home within a couple days to assess the situation. After some inspection, he was able to correct some of the motor wiring and re-installed it, at which point the record mechanism successfully scanned left and right. While the box is still in need of cleaning and adjustments, at least now with a moving mechanism, I may be able to perform some simple repair tasks. I'm hoping Phil will be able return soon to continue with any needed repairs. My experience with Phil was very positive, and I would gladly recommend him to others in need of his services. read more

Thanks to Phil my 1953G Seeburg jukebox is now working. The mechanism was not working. He took it with to his shop to fix and returned within one week. One day after returning the mechanism a gear in the mechanism broke. He returned to take it back to the shop to fix again. There was no extra charge and about one week later it was working better than I ever thought it would. Highly recommend this company. Prices are fair for work involved and will return calls promptly. read more

Phil is very easy to work with, prices are reasonable, and work done as promised. He has earned my trust caring for my old Seeburg jukebox!
