Deltronic Labs is a family-owned and -operated company started by Stephen Horniak, Sr. in the 1960s. Our initial focus was mainly design and production of various electronic and electro-mechanical devices ranging from simple timing devices to precision meters and gauges. After incorporating in 1968, one of our first major projects was developing solid state electronics for the popular Skee-Ball™ game, which started us on our long journey into the coin-operated amusement and family entertainment industry.

In the 1970s, we developed a modular, electronically-controlled ticket dispenser to replace the bulky mechanical dispensers being used in Skee-Ball™ alleys and other ticket games. As the popularity of these games grew, so did the need for products to streamline the ticket redemption process. Deltronic Labs designed and manufactured various ticket devices, control mechanisms, and interface solutions. In 1991, we introduced our award-winning tabletop Ticket Eater® machine, followed in 1998 by a standalone kiosk Ticket Eater® that quickly became an industry mainstay used in thousands of arcades and entertainment centers around the world.
