Meet JJ Lyon: Over 20 Years of Pinball Expertise

I’m J.J. Lyon, the lead technician behind Lyon Pinball. For over two decades, I haven’t just played pinball—I’ve been studying what makes them tick. What started as a passion has evolved into a professional dedication to keeping these incredible machines alive across the UK.

From Vintage to Modern Whether you own a vintage Electro-Mechanical (EM) classic with clacking relays or a complex 90s Williams/Bally or modern Stern machine, I have the diagnostic tools and experience to get your game flipping smoothly again.

My Philosophy: Preservation First I don’t just swap parts blindly. My focus is on preserving the originality of your machine. Whenever possible, I skillfully repair and renew existing components to maintain their authenticity and value. If a replacement is absolutely necessary, I use only high-quality parts that match original specifications.

Pinball repair isn’t just a job for me; it’s about preserving history and bringing the joy of the arcade back into your home.
