About This Machine

Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Pinball Machine

Ripley’s Believe It or Not! is a Stern pinball machine designed by Pat Lawlor, who has designed some of the most beloved titles in the history of pinball, including Funhouse, The Addams Family, and Twilight Zone.

Ripley’s Believe It or Not! is all about traveling with the legendary Robert Ripley across seven continents to discover the strange, the bizarre, the unusual! To accomplish this, the playfield offers some unbelievable features: a shrunken head that says some pretty funny stuff, a strange idol that commands a powerful force field, a temple that can only be unlocked through a special tic-tac-toe code, and an always fun vari-target!

Ripley’s Believe It or Not! appeals to all levels of play through a special feature aptly entitled “Believe it or Not.” This multi-level rule enables the beginning player to achieve some of the game’s goals early on, while it allows the more advanced player to extend their opportunities through better play.

The Pinball Hobby: Why Now Is the Best Time to Buy

Pinball is experiencing a genuine renaissance. New manufacturers like Stern, Spooky Pinball, and American Pinball are producing innovative machines at a pace not seen since the golden age of the 1990s, while classic titles from Bally and Williams command increasingly strong collector interest. Whether you’re drawn to new machines with complex digital integration or vintage classics with pure mechanical gameplay, the pinball market offers something extraordinary for every taste and budget.

The Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Pinball Machine by Stern represents an excellent entry point or addition to any collection. Its combination of theme, gameplay, and availability makes it a desirable choice that appreciates the attention of both casual players and dedicated enthusiasts.

Setting Up Your Pinball Machine

Pinball machines require relatively minimal setup compared to their complexity. Most machines arrive fully assembled and need only to be placed in their intended location, plugged into a standard 110V outlet, and leveled with adjustable legs. The entire setup process typically takes less than an hour for experienced buyers and slightly longer for first-timers. We provide setup guidance for all machines we sell.

Machine placement is important for optimal gameplay. Pinball machines require a clearance of approximately 2 feet behind the machine for service access and comfortable play. Ensure your game room has adequate space before your machine arrives.

Maintenance & Longevity

Modern pinball machines are designed for long service lives when properly maintained. Key maintenance tasks include regular cleaning of the playfield surface, ball cleaning or replacement, rubber ring replacement, and occasional lamp replacement. Most owners find that their machines require minimal maintenance — perhaps a few hours per year — to maintain excellent playing condition. We can recommend maintenance resources and supply contacts to help you keep your machine in peak condition.

Game Room Design Tips

Building a great game room goes beyond just acquiring great machines. Thoughtful design and layout enhance the entertainment experience significantly. Consider these factors when planning your game room: Lighting is crucial — avoid harsh overhead fluorescent lights in favor of ambient lighting, LED strips, and accent lighting that creates an arcade atmosphere. Sound management matters too: game machines generate sound, so consider the room’s acoustics and whether you need sound dampening if noise is a concern for other household members.

Traffic flow is important when placing multiple machines. Leave adequate space between units for comfortable play and movement. Think about which machines players will gravitate to first and position your showpiece equipment for maximum visual impact when entering the room. The entrance impression matters — your first machine or most striking visual element should be placed where it captures attention immediately.

Financing Your Game Room

Premium game room equipment represents a significant investment, and we understand that many buyers prefer to spread payments over time. MyPinballMachine works with customers to explore financing options for qualifying purchases. Contact our team to discuss financing availability, terms, and qualification requirements. We want to make your game room dreams achievable regardless of your preferred payment approach.

For commercial buyers — bars, restaurants, family entertainment centers, and other businesses — game room equipment often qualifies as a business equipment purchase with associated tax advantages. Consult your accountant or financial advisor regarding the potential tax treatment of equipment purchases for your business.
