PinMobile Highlight!

Here is a PinMobile Highlight!

In the bitter cold of December 2020 in Alexandria VA, our charity team came across a pinhead that owned a Gottlieb EM Paradise (1965) machine. After touring the Northeast and dedicating 8 machines in 14 days, the PinMobile now only held our suitcases and supplies.

The owner, Theodore (Ted) Webne, cherished this machine, however, because of its age he was unable to provide proper care and maintenance. Ted knew that without help the machine would soon be idle. So he donated it to Project Pinball, and after repacking the Escalade in his driveway we had two guarantees: the machine will be restored and he is welcome to visit anytime to play! Presently, the machine is in working condition at HQ in Bonita Springs, FL, and we are hoping to host Ted and his family soon for a well-deserved game night. We are truly overwhelmed with emotion when recalling this encounter, and without the help of the charity’s Escalade, this restoration would not have been possible. And of course, many thanks to Ted!

A True Workhorse- The PinMobile

The PinMobile is known for its adventures!
Not only has it helped our team dedicate 57 pinball machines and counting, but it’s also traveled to 53 different hospitals in 25 states!

Over 200 machines have been reliably moved by the Escalade, successfully helping the charity focus on our mission at dedications, expos, raffles, and fundraising events. Every year for 2 months our team packs up and travels the nation for our Love Across America (LAA) Tour, where we dedicate pinball machines to children’s hospitals, RMHC, and assisted living facilities. We fill the trunk to the brim with machines, luggage, supplies, and of course our mascot, Maggie the minpin.

We cannot fully express how grateful we are to have such an immense vehicle at our disposal! The PinMobile is truly the foundation of Project Pinball Charity and without it, our nationwide mission would not be feasible.

Project Pinball’s Iconic Escalade

If you’re familiar with Project Pinball, then you know our iconic Escalade.
If you’re a newbie, then let’s meet the PinMobile!

When the charity began in 2011 we needed a vehicle large enough to transport pinball machines, so our founder generously donated his personal car. 11 years later and OVER 350,000 miles and here we have our trusty steed.
But even a hero calls in sick. Due to high mileage and working long shifts on the road, our precious Escalade is ill.
Losing oil pressure by the minute, we decided to contact a doctor for an engine transplant. Our team is currently at home base, but soon we are back on the road and can’t imagine our long trips without it!

Keep our beloved PinMobile in your thoughts as it wheels down the road of repair.
