Zaccaria Dodgem - Marquee Artwork

[lesoleil70]

Hi,

Tomorrow (Monday 7th April) I'll be collecting a Zaccaria Dodgem cab.  Unfortunately it's hosting a Konami Scramble and by the looks of the picture, it's also got a different marquee.

I know I have more chance of finding rocking horse crap than finding a working Dodgem PCB, but with all you Zaccaria hardcores there's a good chance that perhaps one of you could help me get a marquee, or a scan of one to at least bring the machine closer to the original look.

Probably the same for the Bezel also, looks to be missing completely, I've already seen the CPO on here - awesome work!

Here's some pics so you can see what I'm getting tomorrow. Just a teaser

Cheers

Nice !

If someone finds the art i am interested also 

I know Bela has a Dodgem, maybe he can scan the bezel ?

I don't know for the marquee because its bended..

I can scan the bezel, my marquee is a bit cracked and impossible to scan, but I can make some hi res pics.
You are right, finding an original pcb is impossible.
A guy on ebay has a fully original cab for sale, but the price is insane, at least there is an original pcb there.

Hi Bela,  Thank you very much, I would be very grateful if you could do that for me.

Perhaps this is the next best thing in the absence of the original PCB.

Has anyone seen a Dodgem PCB?

maybe it's possible to bootleg Astro Wars or something like that?

No, it is exactly the same as The Invaders with different roms, mame version is not perfect, rom swap also wont work.

That marquee does not look complicated, so if you have a good set of pics, i can "create" a marquee.

the size i have since chris made a great sea scare marquee which is the same bended plexi as this :

maybe a local plexi guy can help you out, or perhaps Paul's method to create one yourself :

maybe he wants to make one for you and ship it ? (i cannot make that descision for him ofcourse dont get me wrong, but you can always ask is my opinion  )

When i receive the bezel scan from bela, i will take a look if its an easy vector or not.

Lets get that Dodgem back to life !

Excellent, thanks, appreciate the help.
I made a quick video to give you all a guided tour of the machine. I picked it up today from a yard that is used to store equipment for a travelling fairground in Reading England, the machine, along with many others have been in storage for quite some time.   It was about 280 miles round trip today.

I was wondering what would be in the marquee, I had to hold in my laughter when I saw it not to offend the sellers.

It's kind of working, it's hosting Konami Scramble, and it has a Sega monitor, with a screen size no bigger than an IPAD. The buttons are leaf type, and the stick is...sticky.

Grab some popcorn, and enjoy the film.

Lol, nice marquee.
It is really great that you travel so much to save this one, especially without the bezel and marquee.
I will post the scans/pics as soon as I have time this week.

You know, maybe the original marquee is still in place and they put the new one over the original...

What is that machine in the background by the way...... ?

Maybe you saw my Pole Position 2, or the Challenger Two generic Jamma.

The Pole Position just has a temporary control board and I'm using it as a horizontal jamma till onecircuit.com make the clone pcb, then it's a quick swap about again. I get a lot of questions on that "What have you done"...don't panic, there is a plan.

Nothing behind the bezel, first thing I checked.  sigh.

It's a beauty isn't it.  That was the first part of the machine to be saved today, the foil backed inkjet baby pac marquee is in the bin, but it's preserved digitally in youtube.

Good news on the scans, looking forward to it.

No  I mean the machine on the right of the left picture in your first post...

oh it's a "terra cresta".  

here's the ebay link http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221408047493?ssPageName=STRK:MEDWX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1435.l2649

Saw it in person today, it was identified as the auction was running by a guy on Jammaplus as Taito Defender. I can confirm by seeing it today it is. and the lucky buyer will be very happy.

Not the actual machine, but here is a pic to compare it to.



The pictures also show one on the side on the floor - Stern Berzerk - trashed, water damaged..made me very upset.

Taito Field Goal > Taito Defender > Terra Cresta
