The new Omega Race cabinet arrived and has made it’s way to the work room in the basement. The cabinet is in worse shape than the original cabinet and has a little water damage at the bottom so my plan is to transfer all of the parts into the original cabinet and then scrap the new cabinet.

As you can see in the pictures, especially the views from the back, the new cabinet has quit a bit more wear and tear than the original cabinet. The first step was to remove the monitors. I’m not sure of the condition on either one as neither machine is in working condition. They are two different monitors, the original cabinet has an Electrohome G05 monitor and the new cabinet has a Wells Gardner 19V2000. Both are black and white vector monitors. After removing the monitors, it was time to start stripping the new cabinet of the wiring harness. This took a bit of time as I stopped to label a lot of wires to ease in the reconstruction process.

Now, before you make fun of my multi-colored floor, I’ll tell you that standing on those foam cushioned pads for a few hours is much easier on the feet and legs than standing on a concrete floor. I’ll have another update and some new photos once I begin the transfer of parts to the original cabinet.
