Zaccaria Cockpit for sale !!!!
« on: July 25, 2011, 05:45:08 PM »
Yes, I found this extremely rare machine. It is not Buck Rogers, but the universal cockpit with the same cool yoke and the same side art.

The machine has NO pcb, but everything else is still in there.
One interesting detail: I thought there was some tape on the top of the side but when I started pulling it a bit it turned out that it is the original protect film from the factory !!!!

So...it MAYBE it can come out VERY nice.

I have some feeling that this machine may never have been actually used, but not sure.

If anyone is interested please let me know. I will post two (crappy) phone pics a bit later.

Is she a beauty or what ?

I have never seen one like this before. Never. Only the add that Time Pilot put up in the Zaccaria thread:



As you can see the side-art is identical to Buck Rogers, but the rear window is "blank". Also the bezel is different (generic) with locations to put game instructions on the sides.
This is another indication making me think there has never been a game in this machine....no instruction labels. Of course, no guarantee, but this combined with the missing PCB, still intact protective film....it may have been unused....

The monitor is also the original Hantarex. PSU is in there and also 2 speakers. I forgot to check for coin-mechs. There seems to be a hole right next to the yoke. No idea what should be there (coin-mech ?)
I also don't remember if there was a gas-pedal or not.

I guess this is a Jamma machine since that add mentions "Universal cockpit" and "Mit jedem TV-spiel zu bestucken" which translates to: can play any videogame....

I think I remember seeing pics of the Buck Rogers cab that was split in two parts, so I guess this one comes apart too, which makes it easier to transport.

I love it !

I love zacc's  but unfortunately no space for it  :'(

Anyway, i think it belongs in Hungary at bela's zacc museum  ;D
he must be crazy to let this go, probably the last change to get one i think..

I know that vernimark has traded his and don't know where it is now, I hope its not here:



there is a buck rogers on "deathrow" at Arcadeboneyard :-\

Well...of course I first contacted Béla about it before posting it here. He had to think about it, but he had to let it go, although he realizes it's a unique chance. I am very sure he has good reasons for this, as I know he would love to add it to his collection. However, he said the most important thing was that it would be saved.

So that's why I posted it now.

Now, the price, I promise you, will be no problem to anyone. The thing I worry about more is that the seller is pretty keen on "getting rid" off it....

We MUST rescue this one...I have no space for it though...

OK, I'll keep that in mind. However, I hope someone (PaulSwan?) would be interested.

Found a quote from Paul in his Zaccaria list thread:

Quote
I'd have traded you an Asteroids for the Buck Rogers, Marco

I'll accept that Paul...or something else  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
