ABOUT
Game Sales & Service
I have been buying, selling, collecting, and restoring pinball machines for over 20 years.
Pinball machines are a direct conduit to my childhood, and a wonderful reminder of great gameplay memories throughout the Northeast, and Jersey shore boardwalk arcades.
I'm grateful for an opportunity to share my lifelong passion, and "dream-job" business with EVERYONE so they can join in the FUN & ENJOY pinball!
