I'm looking for a Zaccaria 8 (4x2) digit display glass.
Is there anyone willing to donate this to me?

I think the Beckman 2 digit glasses are still available. Need to dig around
on the web. Atari used the same ones for their credit/match panels.

Beckman tubes might be, but those won't fit the Zaccaria displays. Maybe
you could make them work by making your own mounting board for them.

Did Atari actually use the same tubes as Zaccaria?

2x Two digit Beckman SP-352 for the credit/match display only.

Are the Zac's 2x 4 digit or 4x 2 digit?

They're 4 x 2-digit (gen1 games use 3 x 2-digit), but they don't look
anything like those Beckman tubes. Here's a pic:

Email sent. Let me know if you didn't get it.

Ahhh. I never had a good chance to inspect a Zac display but I knew it was
a two-digit plasma. Just assumed it was a standard Beckman. Close but no
cigar. :p
