Tilt Amusements

I was in the market for a Stern Star Trek Limited Edition pinball machine, and when I posted a question on the Pinside forums asking about the best distributor for new Stern pinballs, there was one name that everyone seemed to agree upon: Trent Augenstein at Tilt Amusements.
Getting a hold of Trent is easy. He responds to phone calls and emails quickly. He quoted me a better price than pretty much anyone else, and he made the transaction very easy. I wired him the funds, and 3 days later, my machine was delivered direct from Stern. The experience was so painless that I ended up buying another machine from him a few months later, and I had the same great experience. I’ve since recommended Trent and Tilt to several friends.
First-​time buyers might find it a bit unsettling that the way to get the best price is to wire the payment directly to Tilt. They do give you options to pay with credit card or Paypal, but the fees get passed along to you, resulting in a higher price point. But, the good news is that Trent is not just a dealer, he’s also a very active player and is well-​known to the pinball community, where his reputation is absolutely unassailable. So, whether you are a first-​time buyer looking to get into the hobby, or a seasoned collector, you can deal with Tilt Amusements with confidence.
Highly recommended.
