15V2000 Wells Gardner Vector monitor - What games used it?

Does anyone happen to know what games used the 15" Wells Gardner 15V2000 vector monitor? I've read that it may have been used on Omega Race cocktail and cabaret machines but wondered what else used it or would fit.

When cleaning up at my parents I found a new one that I had completely forgotten about and don't recall exactly when/where I acquired it. It has been packed away for at least 25 years.

I'll either be on the lookout for a vector game missing a monitor or think about selling this to someone that needs it.

In either case I'm curious what this could be used in.

I was always fond of Asteroids and BZ so if one of those turns up in the area I'll have to consider it. Thanks for the response!
 
I read that this monitor should be plug and play compatible with the G05-802 monitor although it is smaller in size. If that is the case it should work as a temporary monitor in a Red Baron upright to confirm the boards are still putting out the proper image while the original G05 is being recapped and solder connections reflowed.
 
In case anyone is curious this is how the WG 15V2000 shipped. I still have this one if anyone needs one. I don't have any games that need this. It helped when I was troubleshooting my Red Baron as I could confirm my board was ok and had an issue with the larger G05 in that game.

Nice Box.

These monitors might be in more demand as hobbyists/collectors decide to, perhaps, make custom Vectrex Arcade Cabinets. (and yes, someone might actually need it for a real Atari Asteroids / Battlezone or Midway Omega Race cabaret). :)
 
No worries. If it was a 19" I'd probably keep it as a spare for the Red Baron.
 
For reference, the 15" v2000 is a plug-in swap for a 19" v2000 (meaning you can plug one in for the other, with no issues).

The boards can also be swapped between the 15" and 19" v2000's (as they are basically the same), except you need to change two resistors on the deflection board. See the schematics for details on which two, if needed.

Also, if you need any assistance repairing one, I fix the boards. (Details in my sig.)
