what a huo zoo keeper looks like!

Thanks for posting. I'll be saving these for reference. I'd never seen the metal cage over the boards before. The ZK I used to own certainly didn't have it. Which Taito games came with that cage/shield over the boards?

i think all zoo-keepers came with it but these machines were just money makers for arcade ops, it was a pita for me to get to the battery with this cage on the pcb. most ops probably tore them off and threw them away once the had to access the pcb. anyone else know-chime in and correct me....

Mine had the cage on it when I got it. I took it off when I replaced the battery and coin processor board and never put it back on. I may still have it somewhere in the garage - Barry

Wow it looks beautiful congrats! does it work? any story behind this?

It works beautiful. I have all the paperwork, the original coin box handle with the 2 nuts and a coin box separator. I did not know what the seperator was. I thought it was a topper when i first saw it. But its just plain white plastic divider. I have the original battery, it was removed many, many , years ago so the pcb is in great condition also. I already did the nicad 3.6v battery mod. Battery hanging away from pcbs.
I bought this from a forum member but they can chime in if they want to, i will respect their privacy. It really is like a brand new game. When i first saw it, i had to try and get it.
 
Drooool!! Awesome score, congrats. That's a prize to own for sure. I always knew they had the RF cages, there is evidence that mine had it at one time, but have never seen it. Sweet.
 
Ant: All I can say is you must have some awesome connections to find a zk that nice...
Seriously though I miss it already but I`m glad it went to a good home.

So you came out of hiding? I am happy with all my games i got from you, from your namesake fast freddy, zaxxon and of course this jewel. I am pretty much done for now. For me xmas came early thanks to you!

Come on over anytime!
 
Nice specimen for sure, congrats! By the way speaking of battery, does anyone know how to install the hi-score save kit from Mark S. onto the game?

How did you get that? I've tried several times to get one from him with no luck.
