Nick angel - founder

In 1978, Nick Angel played his first video arcade game, Space Invaders, and was hooked! From that moment on, he would play any and every video game he could lay his hands on. The magic of being able to manipulate images on a TV screen was overwhelming. Nick would scrounge for quarters at every opportunity to play Pacman, Donkey Kong, Galaga, Dig Dug, Asteroids, Tempest, and Star Wars. Atari's 1983 Star Wars was the first arcade machine that Nick purchased before even having his own home to put it in. Once the basement arcade was established in Nick's home, one arcade game soon became 25. Too cheap to hire anyone to assist with repairs, Nick researched and taught himself how to fix and restore them. One day, on a whim, Nick bought his first pinball machine, a 1993 Bally Twilight Zone, and marvelled at how it differed mechanically from video arcade games. Working through the mechanical issues of pinball machines was much more fulfilling than fixing arcade games, which was like repairing old televisions. Soon, Nick's video game collection was sold and replaced with modern pinball machines. Nowadays, nostalgia has gotten the best of Nick, and he has repurchased many of his beloved video arcade games, now boasting a well-rounded collection of classic video games and modern pinball machines. For those looking for pinball machine repair in Toronto or pinball machines for sale in Canada, Nick knows how to find the best pinball machines Toronto has to offer.
