About Us

The Game Doc is a family owned business that was started in February 1981 by owner and founder, Kent Tieche.  We started out in a 1,000 square foot building in Burbank, CA.  The business started out as a one man, one woman operation.  The entire company was run by Kent who did all video and pinball related repairs and a secretary that ran the office.  When The Game Doc first opened, its customer base was mainly operators who ran heavy game routes during a time when arcade machine businesses were booming.

In September of 1986, the business was moved from Burbank to Sun Valley to a brand new building, containing a 3,000 square foot unit where we still are today!  At this point The Game Doc started a period of real growth and expansion for our company.  It was at this time that we took on several new employees, some of which are still working with us today.  A part of our business has always been focused on home buyers but at this point in time, only about 10% of our customer base consisted of home buyers and most of it was still made up of operators, some of whom are still customers today.

In December 2004, Kent was contacted by the president of Rock-ola jukeboxes and asked if The Game Doc would like to be a distributor for their products.  A few months later, a Canada based company called JVL made a similar offer to Kent, asking him if The Game Doc would like to become a distributor for their touchscreen video games.  We now professionally manufacture multi-game arcade machines made entirely in the U.S for home and commercial use and ship them all over the United States.  We have partnered up with several reputable businesses that help us bring a little more flare to the average game room.  The Game Doc is also an official distributor of NSM, Wurlitzer, Ecast, Rock-ola & Rowe jukeboxes, Medalist Games products, CoinCo, and Standard Change Makers, Inc.
