I've been working on remaking a much needed part in the zaccaria community. (also posted this in the zaccaria thread, but posting as it's own thing).

So I finally got the casting done. I have the first prototype sitting here. Turned out better than expected. It's cast in clear resin (opposed to opaque white like the originals). Picture looks like ass, but it's the best I could get. Took 30 pictures and any light that hits it, seems to light it up like a glow stick. The part is extremely small, so made a ton of complications, both with casting and making the mold. I could not get the mold to get down deep into the shaft hole, so the hole is only half as deep as it should be. I'm going to work with different drill bits and drill it down the rest of the way. But that would eliminate the flat spot, so I need a drill that is just slightly smaller than the shaft, so it's a nice snug tight fit. Otherwise everyone is going to have to use a dab of glue when installing these. They will be offered for $10 + $2 shipping for the US, international pays actual shipping . Right now i'm still in the testing phase. First one is going in the game soon.

if you know of other zacs that are not in the gamelist that use this, please add them. So far I can only find , Pinball champ, zankor, and clown that use them. Not sure if gen 1 spinner setup is the same as the gen 2 stuff.

yes, I took 30 pictures of these. Believe it or not, this was the best ones I could get. The plastic seems to light up when any light source hits it, and makes it blurr out. Plus it's super small part, so you have to get real close.

these parts are 1cm long. Hard to get far away enough for the flash not to bleach it out. Tried turning the flash off using a flashlight for light, and made it glow like it was in a Rave.

high end hi rez cannon with a semi zoom lens. It's all I have that I use for playfield pictures. Takes great playfield shots.

test ran this last night. Played it a ton, Seems to work perfect. took some video of it in action.

yea, not a lot of gen 2's have spinners. There are only 3. Technically 4, if you count pinball champ and pinball champ 82 as different games. Which they are not.

here's the video of it in action.

so far i've played around 30 games on it, and it's working flawlessly. I'm going to play the hell out of it every day, and check out wear if any. Which I don't think there will be, since the resin has a slippery waxy texture to it, which actually glides smoother than the original plastic.

still running good. I think it's a go.

Apparently Gen 1 games also use the game cam.

these are up and available now. Looks like they are holding up perfect

They are still holding up. If you need zaccaria spinner cams, let me know.

I still have these available. So far many have bought them and said they are working great.

yes, I make them, so I always have them.
