I never meant to own three Omega Races, honest! It just sort of happened... The mini came from ebay, the upright from craigslist, and the cocktail from smalltownguy. Only the cocktail was working when acquired.
Now that I have all three games - upright, mini, and cocktail - fully restored and working, I couldn't resist the opportunity for a group photo op. I did my best to recreate the arrangement from the original Midway flyer. (even though that was almost certainly a composite and not an actual single photo)
I wondered if having three working Omega Races concentrated in one location would violate some rule of the cosmos. I kept expecting a meteorite strike to take out my garage.
I know that I'm missing the cockpit, and, no, I don't plan to acquire one. Realistically, I don't plan to keep all three of these. The upright is staying; I've already moved it into my game room. I should sell the cocktail and/or the mini. (If you're interested, feel free to PM me. Please though, don't turn this into a for-sale thread! Oh, and don't expect these to be cheap.)

The last attached photo reveals the real reason why I ended up with three Omega Races - I'm secretly triplets! <grin>
In case you're wondering, I'm tired of working on Omega Races. My mission to complete these three is done, so now I can go back to working on Atari vectors.
