My name is Nick Kovalevsky. I started out with three pinball machines when I was eight years old. My Dad bought me a Williams "Lady Luck" 1969 which I still own today. My second machine was a Chicago Coin "Top Ten", then I acquired a Gottlieb "Big Chief." These were the old type electromechanical and were always breaking down in some way. This would frustrate my father because he loved to play them. In order to give them a special place in the garage and hopefully acquire more machines, I learned how to maintain them. As the years went by, I managaed to obtain over 400 pinball machines and have complete production samples of all Bally and Williams pinball machines from 1985 to the present. I have a few first off the assembly line and prototypes, too.
Many of these machines have been painstakingly restored. Eventually they will be displayed in a setting like a museum or arcade so they can be played once again.
We have provided award winning complete collection of machines for the Fabulous Fantasy Pinball shows featuring the machines from designers Pat Lawlor and Steve Richie.
Also, we have helped Tim Arnold prepare for many of his Fun Nights.
