Your Trusted Pinball Moving Company in the Northeast

Careful. Professional. Passionate

I’m Rob Gentz, and I’ve been moving pinball machines across the Northeast for years—because I love this hobby as much as you do. After 23 years in HVAC, I turned my passion for pinball and road trips into a full-time business. Now, I help fellow collectors transport their machines safely, carefully, and on schedule.

Why I Started Haul N Oates

Some of you might know me from Pinside as Flash71. I’ve been collecting and playing pinball for years, and I’ve built a collection I’m proud of. When I saw how many collectors struggled to find reliable transport, I knew I could help.

After spending 23 years in HVAC, I decided to combine my two loves: pinball and the open road. I’ve got the equipment, the experience, and most importantly, the passion to do this right.

I treat every machine like it’s part of my own collection—because I know exactly how much these games mean to you. Whether you’re moving a vintage EM or a brand new NIB Stern, your machine will get the same care I give mine.

Passionate. Experienced. Reliable.

From fellow pinhead to trusted mover—I’ve moved hundreds of machines across the Northeast and beyond, always with the same care and attention to detail.

What Fellow Pinheads Say

"Rob was fantastic to deal with. He communicated throughout the whole process and my pin was blanketed and mummified in shrink wrap. Rob saved me a ton of time and effort and was well worth the cost. I highly recommend him to anyone that wants their pin delivered properly."

Crispin

Stranger Things buyer

"HIRE ROB — YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT. He moved two machines in one day, troubleshot a GFCI issue, and fixed wiring—all with a smile on his face and a good sense of humor. Knowledgeable, personable, hard-working, funny, and highly experienced."

Samhain
