Zaccaria Amidar
« on: May 15, 2017, 12:48:02 PM »
Found this cab a few weeks ago among some trash generic cab.
As most of the arcade cabinets in Hungary, it was converted in the 90's to a gambling machine/videogame combo, there is a remote controlled switcher inside, when the tax police arrived, the bartender changed the 8 liner to a generic videogame. ;D
It was freakin dirty, have a control panel with an unknown Zaccaria art and a 3D marquee, with the 2 kinds of Amidar maze in the background.
The monitor was dead, but after some cleaning and replacing a blown fuse, it works fine.
It has the matching serial number on each component:







4


After some cleaning, monitor rotating, with an Amidar board.I left the other pcb inside, because I can get a remote controller for the switcher, I'm curious, how does it work. :D


There is a "GVN" logo, I have no idea, what does it mean. ???


Cleaning the marquee :D


The control panel, with a huge cig, the "control" and "player" signs are very similar to Super Cobra/Scramble.The cardboard bezel is a Phoenix repro as I dont have a simple black one atm.


And Voila :D






I'm really happy, that I found one of my favourite games in an original Zaccaria cab. ;D

I use google photos, which is the aftermarket of picassa, which is a crap from the beginning. :-\

nice curved marquee!

I only know the small comidar.
Is a dedicated PCB inside?
Searching Zaccaria Stuff: Zaxxon CPO, JumpBug CPO or CPO Repro
next project: assemble Zaccaria Vanguard.
