    Quoted from someotherguy:

    Picked up a Zaccaria Time Machine a few years back. Seller obviously had problems with the backbox lock, so he had "his guys" take care of it...which was a damn shame because otherwise the cabinet was very nice. Nice machine overall.
    I have no doubt they are the ones that did it, too, as the van it was sitting in the back of had fresh sawdust everywhere around the immediate area.
    I'm betting this machine ended up in the collection of someone here, though I can't recall who I sold it to. It's been a while. Kinda hard to miss this identifying mark, though!!!

    I actually bought this machine. It's still in the exact same condition unfortunately. I'd gotten out of the hobby sort of (hadn't played or worked on any of my games) for awhile. Starting to get back into things but this one is down the list in what to get up and running. Hopefully it won't be too much longer but I still have no idea how i'm going to fix what was done to the poor head. Sucks because the rest of the cabinet is almost pristine.

    Anyone know if this is some sort of hack or a legit model? Traces to the top and bottom resistors have been cut. And a diode run to the top resistor. This is a sega cpu from an xfiles
