Preserving the golden era of electro-mechanical amusement engineering and microprocessor electronics in Glasgow, United Kingdom.
Founded in Glasgow by passionate electronics engineers, Retro Fruity Boards was established with a singular mission: to restore, preserve, and safeguard genuine commercial-grade amusement cabinets and early microprocessor platforms for future generations of collectors.
While modern arcade entertainment has shifted toward disposable touchscreen hardware, the satisfying mechanical cadence of stepper reels, the tactile engagement of physical flipper bats, and the warm glow of genuine silkscreen glass remain completely unmatched. Our workshop treats each cabinet not merely as leisure equipment, but as a masterpiece of industrial design and precision mechanics.
Unlike casual resellers who simply wipe dust off cabinet exteriors, our Glasgow engineering lab subjects every acquisition to an exhaustive 45-point rebuild protocol. We completely strip power supplies, replace degraded factory electrolytic capacitors with 105°C high-endurance components, and eradicate corrosive battery deposits from microprocessor logic boards.
Each machine is converted to safe UK domestic 230V mains operation with reinforced grounding and modern thermal circuit protection. Optical sensors on reel baskets are re-indexed with micrometer accuracy, ensuring silent, smooth spins and precise mechanical stops for decades to come.

How we deliver museum-grade reliability to private residential games rooms throughout Great Britain.
We repair damaged PCB traces, rebuild power switching rails, and burn verified EPROMs in-house, rather than abandoning damaged classic boards.
All machines operate on custom souvenir brass tokens or electronic free-play, offering worry-free enjoyment without commercial licensing burdens.
Our dedicated two-person transport team carefully moves equipment directly into your room of choice, levels the cabinet, and performs initial live testing.
We invite serious collectors and private home entertainment enthusiasts to schedule a personal demonstration at our Skypark 1 facility. Play-test machines and inspect electrical work first-hand.
