In the lower level of Ron Barbagallo’s Smithtown home, a quick flip of a light switch powers on more than 25 pinball machines in a high-ceilinged showroom.
Godzilla, Austin Powers, Star Trek, Elvis and AC/DC are just a few of the many themed cabinets. There are also original, unlicensed games like “The Champion Pub” and “Revenge From Mars.”
They’re all outfitted with dazzling artwork, flashing lights, ramps, buzzers and bells. All from different eras and brands. And all painstakingly restored by Barbagallo, one of the few pinball repair technicians working on Long Island.
