New arrival: Zaccaria Scramble ^^
DarthNuno:
My turn to enter the Zaccaria owners club! :spaceace:
Oh wait, I already own one : a Tron by Zaccaria 8)
Whatever, I pick up this morning -as a new project- this Scramble by Zaccaria. I couldn't resist as the seller is living less than 15 minutes from my home.
So yeah, it's a project cab... and there is a lot of work to do on it :-X
First the marquee is broken, and the original bezel is missing. Anyone have these parts for sale?
Someone has also the bad idea to paint the cabinet in black, covering the beautiful original artworks :evil: :arrow:
Inside, everything looks original, but the game PCB is missing, and the neck tube is broken :-[ :arrow:
The first thing I need to know is... how are the orignal side arts condition behind the black paint?
I never had to do this kind of job in the past, but I think it's just a matter of using Acetone and.... and spending a looooot of time for doing it! :ghost: :ghost: :ghost:
Few hours later...
Spending an entire afternoon doing this... and still not finished the first side! :oops:
As far as I can see, the artwork is damager under the paint on some spots, but It should look a way better than the black paint...
Digimon:
welcome to the club.
scramble is a robust start for a zaccaria lineup.

Hey Nuno, nice pickup in an english weather day :D
About putting off that paint, the guys over the pond do it with paper towels ( like that kitchen rolls ), soak it in 100% alcohol and put some plastic cover over it to avoid vaporizing too quickly. Then they wait for 4-6 hours and scrub it off. Its much less pain to remove it that way.
Anyways, nice game, especially the ZZZ - they are some artfull cabs!

Too l8te, I worked on the second side this morning :oops:
I tried an other method than the first side ->
UNIVERSAL STRIPPER V33 SUPERDECAPANT
It's a little bit faster than the previous method...
...but eventually spent few hours to reach this point :
At this point this side in 90% done, while the other one still at 80%... so to continue... my hands hurt :oops:

Great to find that artwork under there! I tried to strip some paint off a Pacman cab once, but it just took so long I gave up :-\
