Their first model was the single player EM game called TEN UP, in 1975 followed by three other models, REDSHOW, LUCKY FRUIT( single player ) and TEN STARS four player version. The company was founded in 1974 by three brothers ( Mario, Franco and Natale ), with headquarters in Calderara di Reno in Bologna. Wondered about your thoughts on it.Zaccaria has been one of the largest pinball manufacturers of the past few decades. I like the simplicity of the traditional American design, but I feel this one would be better for capturing specific rotations, particularly avoiding a switch on drains through the spinner. Kind of an interesting design I had not seen before. Funny, I was looking underneath the PF to adjust it. I noticed this has the same spinner mech as my Combat. Noticed they kind of went with a more GTB like flipper on this? Wondering if there is a story there? I read about some Zacs with a jones plug for a WMS chime unit? Particularly the biri-biri, I mean, no matter what you do with wav trigger boards or chimes, that feature MUST be maintainedĪlso, assuming these are all 4-tone sound boards, is it just Bally and Stern that had 4-chime mechs? or would you lose a tone or double up. I went from really disliking it, to a degree of appreciation. The sound I found grew on my very quickly. I have a lot to learn about euro pins still. Kind of reminds me of a Mata-hari - jumping jack baby. Thinking of bypassing it and using Gottlieb chimes instead. Without the correct 12v output you may have the power failure active.įorgot to update with completed Queen’s Castle! Will have better pics later but overall turned out beautifully. Your HV is damaged, one or both 2N3440 are dead and you are going to kill your displays if you don't fix it.īetter you compare the resistors values in the HV area with the schematics, sometimes the are dead too and this may kill the 2N3440 again. Is the watchdog stuck on? (Forget if it pulls it low or is +5) Looking at the results the High Voltage and 12v are off where they should be.Īny guidance is greatly appreciated as looking forward to getting this machine working. TP7 is also showing a high signal when tested with a logic probe.Īs a starting point do I need to rebuild parts of the Power Supply Board. TP1 - 198v - Tested this again later and it was showing 220v although display was disconnected so may be to no load The voltage at the test points on the Power Supply Board had a couple of points that looked out of spec and I was wondering would this cause the Power Failure to stop the machine booting. I have tested the voltage from the transformer and they all looked ok. I am looking to see if this is due to the power supply board or potentially the CPU. Hopefully someone can help with this one as I am new to working on Zaccaria's and have a Magic Castle that will not boot.
