Lost it.....

O well.....

I guess I was bidding quite low.......

This is a Meteor by APC. It's an Asteroids clone. Different PCB, different monitor, but exactly the same gameplay.

Strangely no side-art on this one. It looks to be in very good shape, apart from that it's not working.

Would have been fun to get this one running again, a rather unique cab !

Hah, just got a mail from the winner !

I'm glad it's in safe hands now !!!

The manufacturer is HOEI, not Omni.

Good choice.  I feel that is my next project to tackle as well.  Cocktail? Deluxe or Regular?  I almost picked up a cabaret a while back, but looking back, it wasn't time just yet.  Looking forward to you ending up with one of these, and adding your special touch to them.

It's hard to find cabs, any cabs where I live. Finding a cab in good shape or even in any shape is like trying to find a gold bar on the beach.

Y'all should be happy not to live in Singapore (where cabs are concerned anyway). Shipping is murder for your wallet  :soapbox:

Get an Asteroids Deluxe if you can.  Truly unique and cool cab, mostly the same game, extra features.  Of AD, Space Duel, and Asteroids, AD is probably the best of three in coolness/game balance.

Yes, I'd love to get an AD, but I can't be very picky around here......

I've seen one of them for sale here a long time ago, broken and went for about €800,-.....................
