So what did I buy?

I bought a Pinball Champ ’82. This machine was built by Zaccaria in Bolognia, Italy in 1982.

Some pictures:

My Zaccaria Pinball Champ '82

The backglass in relatively good condition

The backglass is in relatively good condition. There is some wear above the 2nd and 3rd player displays and the lift trim is rusted.

The playfield: dirty but mostly complete

The playfield needs a thourough clean, all rubbers need replacing, burnt out lamps need replacing and some screws are missing, but all plastics are intact!

The "CHAMP" droptargets with a missing "H"

This is my biggest worry… How am I going to replace that missing “H” drop target? I have no idea yet.

The cabinet door is a mess

The door is a mess, the cable tree inside has been cut, the lock has been drilled out, the door is deformed and doesn’t close or open easily, the red Zaccaria door sticker is missing and don’t get me started on the coin slots…

The identification sticker

The serial number of the machine. I haven’t registered it yet on the Internet pinball serial number database, I’ll do that when it’s restored.
