Zaccaria Magic Castle Refurbishing project - Part III!

MAGIC CASTLE (SS) 1984 - CABINET REFURBISHING

Flipper buttons and credit button need a good cleaning since it has accumulated a lot of dirt here throughout all the years.

Grinding of switches for the flipper buttons.

Polishing the side rails with Autosol and sides of the cabinet with furniture polish.

Cleaning of the side rails where the playfield glass is attached with a tops soaked in acetone, this is a area which always gather a lot of dirt.

COIN DOOR

A switch is used to add credits and is activated when the coin return button is pushed.

The cables at the coin door was connected to a small circuit board with three blue cubes. The red wire to the circuit board as seen in the picture is +12V voltage supply taken from the power board and the yellow / blue wire is ground. I think this circuit board has been used as some sort of counter, so I removed it and connected the cables according to the electrical diagram.

Service Credit Push Button was loose in the cabinet so I solder the wires according to electrical diagram. After this was resolved, I could add credits by pressing the coin return button and start a new game via the start button.

Coin door was in pretty good condition without any rust but the lid for coin return was missing.

Polishing of the coin door with Autosol.

New lamps installed in coin door. I found signs for different coin values.

A funny detail is that the original lock with Zaccaria key was still present in the coin door.

COIN DOOR STICKER

I assume Zaccaria ship their second generation pinball machines from the factory with the sticker added on the coin door. Thanks to David, who has reproduced the sticker.

Now is the coin door complete and shine nicely in the game room.
