Picked this one up last Friday during my lunch hour. Just happened to catch a mention of a 'vintage tabletop game' mentioned in a garage sale ad.
Here she is:
Omega Race cocktail. All original, and in 8 out of 10 condition. Zero burn on the Wells Gardner 15V2000, and the inside is pretty much unmolested. Serial number 1406. Dusty, but it'll clean up real nice. Fully working!
I asked the seller where he got it from, and he told me that it was in a rental property that he cleared out when the tenants left. Before that, it was on location at Broadway Pizza, otherwise known as Shoney's pizza. There are still tokens inside from the original location.
Nice thing about this cabinet is that it uses the same type of vector monitor that my Asteroids Deluxe uses, so I'll be able to use the cocktail's monitor to troubleshoot my SI upright.
I've read that the Omega Race pcb is tough to find in working condition. The battery was prone to leaking and destroying the board. First thing I did when I got home was to pop this table open and leave the board tipped at an angle that would keep any acid from dripping down. I snapped a picture of the battery. It's corroded, but it does not appear to have leaked at all, which is good. I will work on pulling it off the pcb and install a remote battery holder.
My first cocktail!
