Hi guys
What are your thoughts on zac spooky
I see there’s a few owners on here
I’ve got one that was apparently home use only ,there’s no coin counter in it so can’t say how much it was played
I find it very enjoyable ,music is excellent .
I’ve read different numbers of how many were made .
I’d really like to hear any information you have on these

Pretty rare gem you found there! 
TheBlackKnight has some pretty good info on the games reviews page. Don't go traded that thing for a jar of magic beans!
No such thing as a Huo only Spooky
These counters were not always installed by the operator
It’s was last title made by Zaccaria in 87
No more then 300 was said ?
Don’t forget to put new sling rubber on 
I recall talking serial numbers with Federico in 2008 and he said 60 spooky games were produced. Very low production game.

It's my favorite table on the zaccaria pinball collection video game. Also was supposedly produced in April 1987. Would love to play one in person. A fellow wisconsin pinsider has one and i believe brought it to the MGC a few years ago. He is a big zac collector. He would have much more info.
I think David's website is still the most comprehensive for Zaccaria machines:

Putting out the bat signal for CaptainNeo
Remove the battery and the old 5114 RAM and install a replacement NVRAM so no batteries are needed. https://www.pinitech.com/products/5114_nvram.php
If I remember correctly, I think it will, minus remembering how many credits it had before turning off the game.
The game without the battery will default to a default high score for all, credit play, 3 ball, and it won't save credits or scores. You can also remove the battery and add a backup memory cap to the 2 batt terminals,which I did with all of my zac games. D gersic might have the info on his site.
Quoted from Bodypop:Would it still work ok if I just removed the battery in the mean time ,without replacing the ram

actually that's untrue. New stars Phoenix was the last zac made, and Spooky was made in 86. From what i've been reading there are only 60 spooky's made. Only released in europe, and 2 of them I know have been parted out.
Had no idea this existed. So freakin’ cool! Would love to have one of these.
Is that a VUK that feeds the fuschia ramp?

no, it's a up flip ramp. Like the one on wheel of fortune. basically like a halfpipe
Any of you experts know why the eyes on the owl aren’t working on mine .
The coil is free enough ,is there a separate fuse or something
Also the sound goes up and down when playing for a good while ,sometimes a bit crackly too .
This is my fav pin ,so would love to have it just right
Find the transistor that controls the eyes and replace it. It's on the 1B1166 driver board.
Located in the bottom left corner of the backbox.
Solenoid 14 driver 17 according to the manual on www.zaccaria-pinball.com
If I recall the solenoid drivers are tip102s but obviously check and use the correct replacement.
For the sound, I wouldn't mess with it. Spooky uses a soundboard and daughterboard and they are impossible to replace (none available).
Does your game use the english roms or the italian roms? I like the italian rom.
english rom is here. pick spooky, free play roms and you'll see the page.:

you'll need someone that can burn 2864 roms.
1B1166

usually the sound going up and down is from the sound control knob going to shit. Move it back and forth to clean it out and should be more consistent
For your volume pot, if just spinning it wont work, you can try a little contact cleaner around the spindle and then move that left to right.
Quoted from luvthatapex2:I recall talking serial numbers with Federico in 2008 and he said 60 spooky games were produced. Very low production game.
yes, 60 is about correct. I know of 3 that were parted out. So there cannot be more than 57 in existence.
Quoted from Bodypop:57 That’s a crazy low number !
most of the last zacs had very very low numbers. those are what I call the ultra rares. Zacs have 5 levels of rarity like magic the gathering. 4 ultra rares are, Spooky, Zankor, Stars phoenix, new stars Phoenix. Less than 70 of each were made.
Quoted from Bodypop:And there is probably a member or two that has all 4 of those titles
I don't own Stars Phoenix because it's the same as new stars phoenix. Only difference is, that new stars phoenix uses LED displays, and different art package on the playfield. No need to own both as they are the exact same game.
