Proven Bothwell Street Craftsmanship
Verified feedback from collectors across Scotland and the UK
★★★★★
"Arcade and Bandit Repairs stripped and rebuilt our vintage IGT mechanical reel bandit at their Bothwell Street workshop. The pull-arm action is silky smooth, the chrome bezel shines like new, and the token payout hopper works faultlessly."
★★★★★
"We commissioned a two-player Scottish upright arcade cabinet for our Edinburgh studio. The CNC cabinet rigidity, zero-lag IPS monitor, and neat internal wiring loom show true commercial engineering pedigree."
★★★★★
"Visited the Aurora building in Glasgow to test three pinball tables and a Barcrest fruit machine. Their technicians explained the 45-point PAT audit in detail and delivered our chosen machines to Aberdeen within four days."
Archival Multi-Game JAMMA Systems
Decades of golden-era arcade entertainment in one cabinet
Experience four decades of classic coin-op history on zero-lag commercial game boards calibrated in Glasgow.
Every multi-game system assembled at our Glasgow facility is pre-configured with an archival collection of golden-age coin-op titles spanning four decades. From compact Classic Uprights and wide-deck Mega Cabinets to full-height Showroom Uprights, each rig boots directly into a curated menu of brawlers, vector shooters, and retro sports classics.
Using industrial JAMMA harnesses and solid-state storage, our systems retain high scores permanently, allow instant alphabetical title filtering, and switch effortlessly between one-touch free-play and brass token operation.
Integrated auxiliary USB hubs, optical gun sensors, and Bluetooth 2.1 audio amplifiers allow you to pair external controllers or stream background audio through the cabinet's acoustic chamber.

Inside Our Bothwell Street Workshop
Welcome to Arcade & Bandit Repairs – Scotland's specialist arcade cabinet manufacturer and electro-mechanical bandit overhaul facility. Operating from Aurora, 120 Bothwell Street in central Glasgow, our senior technicians bring over twenty years of commercial amusement engineering experience to every build.
From ultrasonic cleaning of mechanical bandit escapements and stepper reel drums to CNC routing of 18mm moisture-resistant cabinet shells, our Glasgow engineers refuse to cut corners. Every unit is built for lifetime domestic durability.
Whether you are commissioning a compact Classic Upright, a four-player widebody cabinet, a restored vintage IGT reel spinner, or authentic replacement spares, every unit carries our 45-point BS 1363 electrical audit certificate and 24-month warranty.
Technical & Delivery Q&A
Every machine restored at our Bothwell Street workshop is transported upright in our padded transit vans. Our two-person crew carries the cabinet into your ground-floor games room, levels the feet, and tests it on your 230V socket.
Yes. Our Glasgow bench strips jammed mechanical pull-handle linkages, cleans stepper reel baskets in ultrasonic baths, and repairs battery-damaged MPU logic boards for private collectors across Scotland and the UK.
Our two-year domestic guarantee covers all internal switching power supplies, main logic processors, optical reel encoders, audio amplifiers, HD monitors, and control panel microswitches.
Strictly yes. Every cabinet is converted for private domestic entertainment with an internal one-touch Free-Play switch alongside a coin comparator calibrated for the 100 solid brass souvenir tokens included.
Our demonstration bay at Aurora, 120 Bothwell Street, Glasgow (G2 7JS) welcomes visitors Monday to Saturday. Telephone our engineering desk in advance so we can prepare the specific cabinets you wish to audition.
Standard upright bandit and arcade cabinets measure between 540mm and 620mm in depth, allowing smooth passage through standard British 762mm internal doorways. Pinball backboxes fold flat for transit.
Our commercial JAMMA and solid-state HD systems include curated titles spanning late-1970s space shooters, 1980s maze runners, and 1990s four-player co-op fighters, complete with alphabetical search and high-score saving.
