The dutch and belgian Zaccs arrived

[Belike]

At last, yesterday I received the Zaccs from Chris's warehouse raid and from André's warehouse groupbuy.
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.





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


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 ...

but: what are you doing with five (?) phoenix?

That is a really good question.
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 ) and I will sell 2 for the hungarian fanatics.

So cool to see the boys safely stored at your place. I miss them already! 

[gyruss]

Cool, your insane zacc collection got even more crazy!  

[Etienne MacGyver]

Nice !

I see that the spacestation bezel is removed

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

If that was true, i need to change my signature

Checked the Phoenix, psu and tube are fine, pcb dead, chassis need some repair, perefct time to test the Atlas Peak ESR.
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.
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.
Seems like Michel kept everything fully original in the Phoenix, it even has a caged pcb with the original metal plate.

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