Title: Zac Time Machine back glass different
Post by: 63wizz on March 08, 2011, 07:37:30 PM

I just noticed that the back glass on my time machine is different to others ive seen on the net.
Mine has mirror and black swirl patterns, and the other has two woman on the right and left sides.
Does anyone know why this would be.

I reckon Dave GERSIC (spelling) would know the answer....

looks like you might have the censored version.... Farfalla has a risque and standard version of the backglass. I believe the censored ones were for the American markt

Had a reply from David Gersic.

" That's interesting. I'm not aware of any variations of this glass. Can you
send me some pictures of it? "

I will send him some pictures.

It might be Rare one of a kind %.%

Sent David some pics of the back glass, this was his reply.


" Thanks. That's very very strange. It appears to be original, but I have no
idea why it's different from every other TM I've seen. "

" Can you get the serial number from the sticker on the back of the cabinet? "

So he has never seen or heard of a back glass like it.

My mate's Time Machine BG is the same as yours, ie has the black patterns and mirror instead of the girls on the sides.

More from David Gersic.

" Thanks. I'm trading email with Federico Croci about this. It's also news to
him that any alternate backglass exists. He's wondering if you can get a good
clear high resolution shot of the backglass. He'd like to show it to some of
the people he knows that used to work at the Zaccaria factory to see if they
know (and can remember) anything about this. "

It will be interesting to see how many were made with this glass.

Awesome work Ian,

Were the machines (the two) in question AU deliveries or Euro?  Perhaps they were sample machines??
