In this episode, I am joined by Gabe Pribil of Pribs Pinball Repair. In this interview, we talk about Gabe’s journey into the pinball hobby and how it led to starting his own pinball repair business. We talk about his large pinball collection. Gabe shares a lot of details about EM pinball including games that he has on location in and around his hometown of Lincoln, Nebraska. Gabe’s collection is mainly games from the 1950’s and 1960’s but he has a variety of games including some solid-state era pinball machines and some non-pinball arcade games.
