Title: Zaccaria Super Galaxian
Post by: Belike on April 19, 2015, 10:17:23 AM

Some of you might remember this topic:

Long story short, I found a Super Galaxian cab on ebay and with the help our great EADS (Digimon & Ully), it reached Budapest almost 2 years ago.
Thanks to Paul, I had the scans from the original cpo, I could make a really good quality repro.
Fortunately Chris was so kind and offered me a bezel, so I had all the stuff to restore the hacked artworks.
We started from here:

With the cpo and bezel installed:

All the electronic stuff and the tube was totally dead inside, so we installed a Hantarex psu and a 900E monitor with my old Friend.

The cab looks awesome from outside and everything works, the 2 problems are, that it was wired to jamma and I dont have a complete Super Galaxia pcb, just some main boards without the sound pcb.
For temporary solution, I put a Galaxian pcb to it with a Super Galaxian romhack, it works fine with that one.

Awesome cab and great work on the resto !

It's still strange that this was licensed and had the "super" name and also that this was licensed to Zaccaria while Bertolini had also a license for Galaxian...apparently not an exclusive deal....

No, the original MTC 90 chassis is a pain in the ass, this model is much reliable and I can live with it.
I have some pcb supprots somewhere, it wont be a problem. ;)

I forgot about this pic, when I removed the black cardboard cover above the screen, I found this:

Seems like this cab was converted to a Popeye at one point.
