- Past Times Arcade in Girard Ohio is home to Rob Berks Pinball Machine collection. There are over 400 machines on the floor for the public to play and another 1500+ in the back warehouse (oh and there is another warehouse too!!).
Rob Berk gives a tour of the warehouse then we roam around the main floor to check out all the insane action!

Good, bad or indifferent….to the Expos, to Pinside .to all the burned bridges…non can argue the sheer effort it takes to move, house and amass a collection this size….spreading our hobby when many gave up the ghost ..is simply amazing. So happy it has a home now…
Gotta give the guy a nod for sure.
I cannot even comprehend this level of the hobby. This is just incredible. This is what the PHOF should be. Great work Bob! Thanks for the tour!
Pure insanity. I love it.
This IS the pinball hall of fame. The other place is a schmuck clown joke
@@pssstttchhh Yaman, I haven't been to the new HOF but I have heard stories!
I think this is my pinball collecting endgame. Having an abandoned toys r us or something like this would be the retirement goal.
I like it. Set your sights high!!!
This place is breathtaking! I can even speak watching this video. Robert is the king of the pinball world. Just insane what Robert has accomplished. I am going to be planning a trip there as soon as possible to witness this monumental dream of a place in coin op industry. Mike thank you so much for making this video and showing the upstairs space too.
Thanks Vic, glad you enjoyed!
The majority of the machines are on the retro side so there may be some on the more modern side that are missing and what inflates their number a little compared to some other games. However the truly amazing part is just how many are in storage. 400 pins on show floor is impressive enough as-is but to extend that all the way to 2,000 machines on-site with those in storage truly puts it over the top compared to other places with hundreds of pinball machines.
I have been here and it is absolutely amazing!
OMG, just incredible! Visual, sensory, pinball overload! A pin heads dream!
Absolutely insane.
Fun times there! Been looking forward to seeing this video, great job!
Ahhh! Mr Fugate!!! I'm pretty sad the video cut out and we missed back 1/2 of the tour but we will have to go back next year and finish the video :)
pretty impressive place. Never saw a Old Chicago. but would like to go there and spend a few hours playing.
This place is awesome. The only downside to it - has a single stall bathroom for the men and women's 😂
I visited this place back in September of last year. One of the best arcades I've ever been to.
I have a new bucket list 😊
I saw a video on this guy's collection a few weeks ago...This is some amazing stuff and ultimate respect to Rob! I'd love to make it to Ohio to see it for myself!! 👍🙏
I shall be so grateful when I get my first machine...
Man that place is insane. If I lived in that area I'd go there all the time dude
For sure!
This place is wild. Seen a video of them preparing to open up for the day. If they have a game that isn't working properly, if they can't fix it right away, they just replace it with another copy if they have it. Usually if a game is down, it happened that day
Wow that is crazy
Oh my god!!! 😮😮😮 pin heaven!!! ....talking like you hehe...just arrived from work and i see now your video brother ....imagine all of them solid state pins dmd ....hahaha all the 90s pins ever made alphabetical order!!!
Yes indeed it was 😍😍
is this why buying a pinball machine is so expensive ?
a few people have bought up the entire worlds supply of surviving machines !
12:19 That baby in the hole machine is the only one in existence, made as a prototype redemption game for the 1989 pinball expo. This may be the greatest pin collection in the world...
Oh wow that is pretty sweet. Thanks for the info!
I thought I loved pinball, time to visit Ohio.
Indeed! We will be back!
would love to see some of the stern iron maiden gameplay 1982
Love these tours!
Glad you like them!
I am in love with this place and the effort that goes into it. But no way am I going to Ohio lol. I'm super happy people have taken the hobby to this level and manage to share at this capacity, and at this quality.
Ohio is not that bad. This kinda proves it.
@@djmarklaw1234 this place is definitely my favourite part in Ohio, maybe all of the USA, for obvious reasons. :)
(Not to get into politics, but chunks of the USA aren't really safe for everyone.)
@@cpi23 Past Times neighborhood is safe. No where near the bad parts. They have guests that walk or ride bike to them daily.
@@djmarklaw1234 (I'm queer and Ohio has laws on the books, and vociferous dehumanizing rhetoric from their political leaders, that puts my family at risk. That's what I mean when I say it's not safe. Sorry, derail)
That aside, Past Times Arcade is a collection that is nearly unbeatable in the USA. I hope everyone within range shows it all the love it deserves!
This collection is absolutely insane! I have multiple solid state machines in my home collection that are so exceptionally rare that neither this collector nor the PHOF have them! I love to watch these videos and check their games list if they have them. Thank you! Very entertaining would love to visit
What are those games out of curiosity?
@@pinballshenanigans I keep my collection mostly private until sale and friends & family or I might edit this comment one day ;). I will share that I own original engineered films & other art created specifically for The Pinball Circus (dated 1993) made by Python Angelo himself. I regard this pinball art to be more rare than my rarest machine, despite having a lower value than the machines, for now. It's so incredibly rare and I consider myself extremely fortunate to own this, if for a brief moment in time & history. I one day will likely donate it.
@@tjtj1566 Whoa, wow! That is amazing!!! Do you have video of it posted?
@@pinballshenanigans my phone is really old it took forever to focus so I put darude sandstorm over the audio. All 7 of 7 film screens original from 1993 are there inside the frame. th-cam.com/users/shortsqLmK4NXA980?si=B5WaW4lSy6tqhZC7
Dude I still have to make it there it looks so awesome. Need a weekend vacation there!
Yes you do
welcome to paradise
I want a pokemon pin soooo bad
I thought I was crazy for snatching up a Playmatic New World for cheap. That section for Spanish-built games is crazy! I may have to get in touch with them for parts resources and find out what they do to repair their stuff. I know a lot of Bally, Williams and Gottlieb parts were copied, but game specific stuff is virtually impossible to find. If they can share some secrets, I'd be really appreciative
Yes the game specific stuff for some of this European stuff would be unobtainium
They made roughly 280 Hercules machines, but God knows how many actually still exist.
Ahhh ok cool thanks!
THERE WAS A PINBALL MACHINE IN EITHER FILEY, SCARBOROUGH OR BLACKPOOL, CAN'T REMEMBER THE EXACT LOCATION, BUT IT WAS THERE FOR MANY YEARS, BALLS WERE THE SIZE OF COCONUTS, IT WAS AT LEAST 6 FEET WIDE AND OVER 9 FEET TALL, AND MADE HERCULES SEEM A MINI
@@elvisburgerking8675 Interesting.
That Pokemon is a retheme of a Chicago Coin Hi Score Pool.
Ahh yes that's it!
Haha well they can always send me some pins my way? xD
This is the kinda place I want at some point. :)
I only have like 10 pins but they are all from different eras from 1935 to 1992. :)
That is a nice variety.
You only have 10 pins? You’ve failed at life lol😊
@@adamstar7516 lol
"Baby Hole" modes: "First base", "2nd base"...
Someone please tell him to get those 1930’s machines out from under that drain. If it ever leaked it’s right on those machines!
Yikes!
I assure you they have everything covered 😂
This place is legit, no doubt, but Next Level Pinball Museum in Hillsboro, Oregon completely crushes this place with presentation and vibe. Just voted three years in a row as Best Location via TWIPY’s.
Wow, we must visit!
No narration, no information about the games, no nothing, what a terrible video. You filmed all this and we know nothing about it.
I thought he did a great job. Sorry you're having a bad day
I don’t get it. On the one hand I guess ‘great’. But on the other hand I think ‘what’s the point’. I look at this excess and I just end up coming away thinking ‘greed’ and ‘waste’. What’s the point of collecting hundreds of machines and just hiding them away, stacking them up until you die. Yeah, insanity is one word. Obsession is another. But overall ‘pointless’ is the big one.
It would take days to play every game there. He has so much not even used. He should sell so others can enjoy. 🕹️🦾
Need a year pass!!!
