Here's something you don't see every day.

Board is acid eaten of course. Cabinet needs cleaning. About a 7.5 overall
 
Congrats! There is a board reproduction thread on here and I think someone is selling a board also.
 
congrats!

Its amazing how many of the cockpits have been popping up. Go for the repo board. It probably will not sell as well as the PP repo board, but there will be a large demand for it.
 
I have a repro board already. I may have a spare original too. May end up trading this. No room in the game room. Already have a very nice upright. Space wars takes up 2 spaces already
 
OR comes in four forms ... in order of BEST to NOT-SO-BEST are (IMHO):

1. cockpit (get the mirror / blacklight effect while sitting on your a$$)
2. upright (similar as the cockpit but you have to stand)
3. mini / cabaret (just because it is so cute)
4. cocktail (ow, my achin' neck)

I have 1, 2 and 3. Not sure why but I do. :)
If you have the room, the cockpit gets the win, (IMHO).

By coincidence, I took a break tonight from my MH PCB build and started another OR repro PCB. This will be for my OR UR. So glad douglasgb did these PCBs.

Anyway, hope you keep the cockpit.

Not likely. Might trade with Talon2000 for some stuff. I can always play it at his place
 
Nice! I would love to have one someday. My upright is pretty good, but I love that cockpit.
 
It's funny. I'm ashamed to admit it, but I'm a vector guy who has never played Omega Race. (Gasp! Revoke my vector license...)

Nothing against the game at all, just never had the opportunity. (Yet, anyway.) But I've read so much love for this game, that I can appreciate this pickup.

Beautiful cab, and nice score. Congrats.
 
Very nice! Looks like the cab is in good shape. Great artwork on those machines. I used to play the upright version in my local arcade back in the day.

Shameless plug...
If you care to replace the original mechanical spinner, or the analog pot w/ A/G board combination, I still have some of the optical replacements, the ORDS here...

Great find, my favorite way to play OR. I only have space for the mini unfortunately, but I highly recommend the biltronix upgrade stuff.

Bill,

I bought one of those spinners and installed it on my upright. Love it. The fate of this machine is still in question.

Man all this talk of OR, may have to pull the trigger on one I was holding out on... I have too many projects as it is! :rolleyes:
