What is Pinball Lab?
Recent photo of Johnny Grace Hi, I'm Johnny!  Some time ago I started Pinball Lab, which is where I design and create awesome full-size custom pinball machines that rival the play found on the best commercial arcade pinball machines.

What's quite unusual is that I create my pinball machines from virtually 100% LEGO®  brand bricks, lights, motors and LEGO® MINDSTORMS®  robotics parts.

So, besides being totally cool to see and play, each pinball machine is a pinball lab platform in itself, allowing you to tweak your machine's playfield and game action whenever you feel inventive or adventurous, by tinkering in the wonderful creative medium that is LEGO®.

Before finishing college, and then going on to become a successful high tech executive, I received my first practical education in electromechanics as a Brunswick bowling machine mechanic.  Their A-series pinsetters were ingeniously designed and provided a very robust environment for learning and experimentation.  Since the bowling alleys also had pinball machines, it was only natural I took an interest in them as well, and was soon servicing, modifying and rebuilding them as much as I was playing them!  My return to pinball has been a welcome renaissance for me, as well as a joyful, educational, pursuit of discovery for my young children, who work alongside me in the lab.

The Mission
My commitment is to creating unique pinball machines that deliver awesome play, enchant the mind and provide unparalleled flexibility allowing endless customization.



The Gift of Invention
With each purchase you also receive the gift of invention.  Not just the spectacle of my invention, but the limitless creative opportunities to express your own design ideas.

Each pinball machine is a living lab for immersing yourself in the pure joys of playing pinball as well as the intellectual highs of pursuing invention.
