Once upon a time there was an engineer named Tim Mezel who worked in semiconductor manufacturing. As much as he enjoyed his work, he would find himself restless and yearning to make something. So, he ventured into slot cars buying a livings room worth of track and cars. And after that it was RC airplanes. After too many shoe box landings, he switched to x-scale trains. Now all those hobby's find themselves tucked away or hanging from the ceiling of his garage.
Humble Beginnings
Then one day he and co-worker Eddie Bononcini gathered to play pinball, drink and plot the purchase of his first pinball machine. Seven pinball machines later, Tim decided his new High Speed 2 needed something- so he set about making his very first mod, a Donut Heaven.
But the finished product just looked, well, like crap. Tim resolved to build a better mod by investing in a 3D printer. Suddenly he found he could make a damn nice Donut Heaven and so much more- Skull Shot Glasses, combs, key rings- and of course pinball mods.
Late in 2013, Tim launched his Etsy shop to sell his pinball mods. He had no idea how successful the products would be. Customers came from across the world- Malaysia to Austria to Canada and Australia- to buy his unique pinball mods. In just four short months the products have become so popular they compete with some of the best the industry has to offer.
As the business grew, Tim found himself unable to keep up with production, assembly, fulfillment and product development so he enlisted the help of his wife Kristin (Mrs_MezelMods) who manages the day to day shop operations. Tim also enlists the help of local pinhead Don Walton (CallMeSteam) in some of the production and testing work of the shop.
