Secure Storage Service
Careful. Professional. Passionate
Safe, climate-controlled storage for your pinball machines when you need temporary holding
A Safe Place for Your Machine Between Moves
Sometimes you need to move a machine before you’re ready to receive it. Maybe your new place isn’t ready yet. Maybe you’re coordinating multiple pickups and deliveries. Maybe you’re selling a machine but the buyer can’t pick it up for a few weeks. Whatever the situation, you need a place to keep your machine safe in the meantime.
I offer secure storage for pinball machines at my location in Buffalo/Lewiston, NY. Your machine stays wrapped and protected in a climate-controlled environment until you’re ready for delivery. I treat stored machines with the same care I give my own collection—because I understand how much they’re worth to you.
This isn’t a warehouse full of random stuff. This is secure storage by a fellow collector who knows exactly how valuable these machines are.

You’re moving to a new house but closing dates don’t align. I can pick up your machines from the old place and hold them until your new game room is ready.

You’re trading machines with someone, but the timing doesn’t line up perfectly. I can hold one machine while coordinating the full exchange.

Storage FAQ
What's the minimum/maximum storage period?
I’m flexible. Minimum is typically 1 week, and I’ve stored machines for several months when needed. If you need longer-term storage (6+ months), let’s discuss your specific situation.
Can I visit my machine while it's in storage?
Yes, if you need to see your machine or retrieve something from it, we can coordinate a time. Just give me a heads up so I can make sure I’m available.
What if I need to extend my storage time?
Not a problem. Just let me know you need more time, and we’ll adjust the arrangement. I understand that timelines change, especially with real estate transactions.
Is insurance included?
I take every precaution to protect your machine, but I recommend checking with your homeowner’s or collector’s insurance about coverage during storage. I can provide documentation if needed for your insurance.
Can you store machines that someone else is delivering?
Yes, we can coordinate that. I’ll need advance notice so I can be available to receive the machine and inspect it when it arrives.
Do you offer storage for other arcade equipment?
I’m flexible. Minimum is typically 1 week, and I’ve stored machines for several months when needed. If you need longer-term storage (6+ months), let’s discuss your specific situation.
