盧·尼卡斯特羅 (Lou Nicastro) 是一位在投幣行業擁有 48 年歷史的開拓者,今年去世後入選娛樂業名人堂。他的旅程始於一次與西伯格公司 (Seeburg Corporation) 的德爾·科爾曼 (Del Coleman) 的偶遇,並因此獲得了加入該公司的邀請。在西伯格被出售以及隨後的財務困境之後,尼卡斯特羅的專業知識在他重組並成為威廉姆斯電子公司董事長兼首席執行官時被證明是無價的,對該行業產生了持久的影響。
Amusement Industry Hall of Fame Welcomes Coin-Op Pioneer Lou Nicastro
娛樂產業名人堂歡迎投幣遊戲先驅盧·尼卡斯特羅 (Lou Nicastro)
Las Vegas, Nevada – August 21, 2024 – The Amusement Industry Hall of Fame has posthumously inducted Lou Nicastro, a trailblazing figure in the coin-operated entertainment industry, into its hallowed halls. Nicastro, who passed away in September 2023 at the age of 95, left an enduring legacy that spans nearly half a century.
內華達州拉斯維加斯 – 2024 年 8 月 21 日 – 娛樂產業名人堂已將投幣娛樂產業的開創性人物盧·尼卡斯特羅 (Lou Nicastro) 追授入其神聖的殿堂。尼卡斯特羅於 2023 年 9 月去世,享年 95 歲,留下了跨越近半個世紀的不朽遺產。
Nicastro's entry into the world of coin-operated amusement began serendipitously. While vacationing in Puerto Rico in 1965, his sons' playful antics by the pool inadvertently led to an encounter with Del Coleman, the Chairman of the Seeburg Corporation. Nicastro, who had prior connections with coin-op distributors through his banking profession, was recognized by Coleman. The two struck up a conversation, and Coleman extended an offer to Nicastro to join Seeburg.
尼卡斯特羅進入投幣式娛樂世界是偶然開始的。 1965 年,他在波多黎各度假時,兒子們在泳池邊嬉戲的舉動無意中結識了西伯格公司董事長德爾·科爾曼。尼卡斯特羅之前透過銀行業與投幣式經銷商有過聯繫,因此得到了科爾曼的認可。兩人進行了交談,科爾曼向尼卡斯特羅提出加入西堡的邀請。
Embarking on his new path, Nicastro witnessed the sale of Seeburg, which resulted in a severance package. However, the company's subsequent financial struggles prompted his return, tasked with steering the ship out of troubled waters. Over several arduous years, Nicastro meticulously reorganized the company and navigated complex legal challenges. His efforts culminated in his appointment as Chairman and CEO of Williams Electronics.
尼卡斯特羅踏上了新的道路,目睹了西伯格的出售,並獲得了遣散費。然而,公司隨後的財務困境促使他回歸,肩負著帶領這艘船走出困境的任務。經過幾年的艱辛,尼卡斯特羅精心重組了公司並應對了複雜的法律挑戰。他的努力最終被任命為威廉斯電子公司董事長兼執行長。
Eddie Adlum, the publisher of RePlay magazine, shared his personal acquaintance with Nicastro, dating back to the mid-1960s when he operated Inland Credit, an equipment finance company in New York City. Recalling a chance encounter at a Chicago hotel, Adlum described Nicastro as a private individual who was typically averse to media attention.
《RePlay》雜誌的出版人 Eddie Adlum 介紹了他與尼卡斯特羅的個人交情,可以追溯到20 世紀60 年代中期,當時他在紐約經營一家設備金融公司Inland Credit。阿德魯姆回憶起在芝加哥一家飯店的一次偶遇,表示尼卡斯特羅是個注重隱私的人,通常不願意接受媒體關注。
Despite his reserved nature, Nicastro granted Adlum an interview, which resulted in a cover story for RePlay magazine. The gesture was met with praise from Seeburg's advertising representative, who commended Adlum for securing access to the elusive Mr. Nicastro. Adlum attributed his success to a stroke of luck that led him to the right bar at the right time.
儘管內向,尼卡斯特羅還是接受了阿德盧姆的採訪,這為《RePlay》雜誌做了封面故事。這一舉動得到了西伯格廣告代表的讚揚,他們稱讚阿德魯姆能夠接觸到難以捉摸的尼卡斯特羅先生。阿德魯姆將他的成功歸功於一次運氣,讓他在正確的時間來到了正確的酒吧。
During the Amusement Industry Hall of Fame induction ceremony, AAMA Executive Pete Gustafson elaborated on Nicastro's pivotal role at Seeburg. Faced with financial turmoil, the company sought Nicastro's guidance, which proved instrumental in stabilizing the organization.
在娛樂業名人堂入學儀式上,AAMA 執行官皮特·古斯塔夫森 (Pete Gustafson) 詳細闡述了尼卡斯特羅 (Nicastro) 在西堡 (Seeburg) 的關鍵角色。面對金融動盪,該公司尋求尼卡斯特羅的指導,事實證明這對穩定組織起到了重要作用。
Nicastro's impact on the industry extended beyond his corporate leadership. His unwavering dedication to innovation and customer satisfaction shaped the landscape of coin-operated entertainment. His contributions to the Amusement Industry Hall of Fame will ensure that his legacy continues to inspire generations of entrepreneurs and enthusiasts alike.
尼卡斯特羅對產業的影響超出了他的公司領導能力。他對創新和客戶滿意度堅定不移的奉獻精神塑造了投幣娛樂的格局。他對娛樂業名人堂的貢獻將確保他的遺產繼續激勵一代又一代的企業家和愛好者。
