The Lost Pins is a documentary YouTube channel dedicated to lost, canceled, unreleased, and forgotten pinball machines.
We investigate pinball prototypes, vaporware pinball projects, and machines that never made it to production, uncovering the real reasons they disappeared—company bankruptcies, lawsuits, licensing failures, management disasters, and industry collapses.
Each episode is a deep-dive into pinball history, using original documents, prototype photos, interviews, design notes, and archival research to reconstruct what these machines were, how far they got, and why they were abandoned.
If you’re interested in pinball restoration, pinball manufacturing history, classic and modern pinball machines, or documentary-style breakdowns of arcade and pinball industry failures, this channel reopens the case files others forgot.
No speculation.
No clickbait.
Just lost pinball machines—and the evidence behind them.
