So this is the first Italian machine I ever found. What a beautiful looking game. She's been hidden inside a house most it's life. Play field looks amazing

I really like this title and wouldn't mind owning one at some point--the interesting and colorful artwork combined with the large section of the playfield that raises and lowers makes it an attractive game. The unique flippers that allow cradling without draining are also a nice touch.
Was told it was in vendors storage for 15 years before this owner got it.. Been sitting in his home arcade for a lot of years unused. The play field shows its minimal use..u can still see the original clear coat sheen around the sling shots. I picked up a few games to flip and went back for this not knowing what it was the first time. cabinet head has a few marks on one side but rest is really mint
The center platform has a habit of going dormant - not going up and down when supposed to, and quiet pops sometimes when it does rise. But when working well, it's quite fun.
Game is very cool, pretty and very different.
I middle manned the buying of one from a CT dealer, driving from Boston to pickup, and shipping to a guy in Denver who was buying 2 of my titles.
When I saw how nice it was, I wanted to keep for myself, but did the right thing and stuck to the deal I made.
Great acquisition--congrats-
Great game! I picked one up 6 years ago off CL. One of only two games I've gotten off CL.
Zaccaria's seemed to be ahead of their time in regards to playfield finish, game features, colorful artwork, etc. The only thing I don't like is the 3 piece flippers. The shaft is a separate piece, the bat is separate and the cap is separate. The caps never seem to stay on and the bat never seems to be tight to the shaft.

Congratz!
I have one since more than one year which is waiting for restoration, but time is the weak point.
Zaccaria is well known to have stronger playfields compared to competitors.
They made some nice 2nd generation pinballs but at a certain point things went wrong and stopped the activity around 1987.
Enjoy it!
Very cool game, I recently put Farfalla in Lyons Classic Pinball and will be putting Time Machine in as well in a few months for the public to play. If you don't know this game the album sized circle in the center of the play field goes up and down to totally change the lay out of the pf.
