At last, yesterday I received the Zaccs from Chris's warehouse raid (https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=2696.0) and from André's warehouse groupbuy (https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=2966.0). :D
As you can see, there are no bezels in the machines, but I already have the replacements, one Phoenix that Erik gave me at Eurocade and the second one will get a nice Scramble bezel.
Both cabs have immaculate sidearts, the Phoenix is absolutely complete and it has a very unique cpo. ;D

Chris was so kind and also sent me 4 MTC 900 chassises, 2 Zacc coin doors and a very special surprise ;D

I'm sending million thanks for Chris and to all of you (André, Etienne, Pascal, Kid, etc.) who helped me get this beauties. ;)

i like the sideart on that phoenix - nice! and have a look at that cpo ... :P
but: what are you doing with five (?) phoenix?

That is a really good question. :D
I think I will keep 2, one with the Space Station and one with the Astronaut sideart, one goes to my nephew for his 18th birthday (in 2021 ;D) and I will sell 2 for the hungarian fanatics. ;D
-
So cool to see the boys safely stored at your place. I miss them already! ;) ;)
-
Cool, your insane zacc collection got even more crazy! :pac:
-
Nice !
I see that the spacestation bezel is removed ::) :-*

No it was broken during transport. :twisted:
It is waiting for pickup in Brussels of course. ;D ;D ;D

If that was true, i need to change my signature ;D

Checked the Phoenix, psu and tube are fine, pcb dead, chassis need some repair, perefct time to test the Atlas Peak ESR. :D
The other Zacc has no pcb and I'm not sure which connector they applied in it, it has 22 pin, but as I see they used it for a 18 pin game.
It also has weird interface board.

I'm not sure if it is not a Vanguard connector, I will have to make some measurements to investigate it. ;)

Vanguard is 2x22 pins. Even if your connector would really supposed to be wired for a 2x22 pin game it couldn't be Vanguard as it would miss either +12 or +5V: http://www.crazykong.com/pins/Vanguard.pin.txt

Must be true. :D
I really don't understand why did they put that extra interface pcb in it, lot of pointless wiring and soldering. :-\

AFAIK, every cab from this old operator had this.
It was like "his own way" of connecting the PCBs.
Jamma or non-jamma all had this nice extra "Michel's (that's his name) touch".

Those are crimp terminals....if he did all of his cabs like that he should have bought a crimp-tool ;)
By the way....all raise hands who love "old operators". Thanks to them we got some very special machines now !!

The cab with this connector is from André's dutch warehouse. :P
Seems like Michel kept everything fully original in the Phoenix, it even has a caged pcb with the original metal plate. :D

Sorry, my bad.
Good for you because most of the other cabs from there had his special custom connector.

did you take that hanta frame only also chris ?
If yes, you know where to drop that ;) ;D
-
Actually not, but I'm going back there next week.
Should I pick it up for you?

I also have some spare if something unexpected happen. ;)

Just the frame, how much is it ?
-
I think it's about the price of a good monitor neck doctor ;)
-
And the dutch Zacc turned into a nice Vanguard ;)
It has a new switcher, a jamma connector, a fluorescent Starspalsh marquee and an original Vanguard pcb by now.

Looking good !
is the pcb turned 90 degrees? or is that the standard way to mount a vanguard pcb ?

It is just a temporary solution for the pcb, there are hanging cables everywhere in the cab, I will have to fix those first. ;)
-
well done, bela! now sell 7 out of the 8 phoenix cabs you have and bring in something new :P
-
Yes, why don't you start collection something different? Like a vector game for example! ;D
-
A Phoenix and this Vanguard are already for sale, I'm listed them on local auction site. :-\
By the way, this cab wouldn't be saved and restored by anybody else I guess. :P

yeah, bela's started to build a star wars row instead ;)
