I had this cab for free…

Looking at the picture you can understand why I had this cab for free… I needed more or less one year to find all parts all over the world and after years there is still something to fix… First version of the restoration here shown had been made with a wrong vector monitor. At those times I couldn’t find the correct model so I had to adapt another one using another transformer. After few time I found the correct monitor and I used the first to restore Omega Race… In fact that monitor was used in Omega Race cabinet.

PCB

Fortunalely I already had the complete boardset, tested and working…

Control Panel

I found all parts including wiring harness, the “brick” transformer and the power supply. I had some difficulties to find the cardboard and on ebay.com a guy was selling all external parts. Here some pictures of the control panel. In that period I had not so much experience and I thought the right fire button was missing so I added a new one…

Cardboard and other stuff

Here you can see the cardboard. Not bad 🙂

and the bezel too was in great conditions.

I could save the sticker too.

All parts in their places…

In the end I had all parts. Here you can see some pictures where the cab is still quite dirty but everything is ok…ops there is a transformer you didn’t expect… It’s used for the vector monitor adapted to this game. I needed another year to find a G05-802 

Final result

Here a couple of pics of the cabinet “as was” after this first resto. I have to say today I proceed in a different way: first of all I restore the wood and the side arts, then I remove everything from inside and I clean very well all parts. Once I finish completely the works “on the shell” I proceed with the internal parts. Anyway this is the cab.

OMG the foorboard is very dirty!!
