Flintstones would be a good candidate.
Good luck with your search.

Hi. Welcome aboard

If it went wrong, are you able to fix a pinball ?. They all go wrong, from minor to major issues, so many of us on here have developed basic mechanical, electrical, soldering, electronics knowledge. Plus the relevant tools

If you describe a fault, folk on here will help you to fix it.

Some guys never touch them, but pay perhaps £40 an hour plus travel or postage for repair work

Many problems just require a 5 minute fix. But others are quite involved - I spent hours recently diagnosing a fault on one of my games. Multi meter, magnifying glass, soldering iron, buying new silicon chips, cleaning 20 year old connectors. At shows and competitions, a number of games will need attention on the day itself

I don't want to pour water on your idea, but best you go into this open eyed. Your game may not break down once in a year

A vintage video game or game console system is much more reliable.

A pool table is even more reliable. But you're not allowed to nudge the table.
