On IPDB it shows Bensa of Milan. 1973 to 1975 made or remanufactured machines as the coin door looks like a Gottlieb.
The International Pinball Data Base has info on 5 EM pins made, or proto types made. Click on Advanced Search, enter Bensa and all their info will pop up.

Never even knew they existed myself.

Don't know much about Bensa, but I do have a Big Brave backglass from them. Somewhere in the future I hope to do a special on Italian manufacturers for Pinball Magazine. You may want to contact Federico Croci, who runs www.tilt.it, for more info. He knows a lot about italian manufacturers.

I know of a pinball by Zaccaria called Devil Riders that was a Italian game.

...and...??? All Zaccaria games are Italian!

There is also this that was put up recently on Pinball News site. Nice article, very comprehensive.

You'd think they could come up with a theme of their own once in a while!

Except it is not an EM... but a Generation 2 Zacc from the 80's...

Zaccaria made a few decent EM starting in the mid 70's. The ones I know: Combat, Aerobatics, Moon flight, Wood's queen and I forget a few. There are not ultra rare around here, but we are closer to Italy...

I wish Zaccarias were more prevalent in the states. They made some beautiful machines.

Agreed. They made many original titles and some of the most appealing artwork ever to appear on a pinball machine.
I played one at a show a few years ago called "Ski Jump". It was a very nice machine and a good player as well.

Zaccaria EM games are basically Williams under the skin . All the coils, steppers, score motor etc. are Williams. Coils are labelled Z instead of W, but apart from that, they are identical. I have owned and shopped quite a few of their games. If you search on IPDB, for Zaccaria EMs, you will see that the earlier games even had Williams logo aprons. The only difference in the late EMs was the sound. They stopped using the chime box and went to a electronic sound module with a speaker. That allowed them to have the Biri-Biri sound for scoring four million. instead of a replay, which was illegal in Italy. Even the module wiring diagram is on zaccariapinball. com nowadays. So you can make one if its missing, or add a chime box instead.
The play fields were bombproof, and are usually as new. The colors were very bright. Game design was good, even if some of the titles were a bit weird. Cabinets were the same build as Williams, coin doors identical apart from Z blanks instead of W. Moon flight and Supersonic ( Concorde themed) stand out as real well designed games, and Combat & Red Arrows if you like war themes.

That "Jack in the Box" looks very interesting,
with the on the playfield drop down and lay flat targets ( kinda like InterFlip's Dragon) .
