Title: Doubling up on Double Up
Post by: paigeoliver on December 24, 2012, 01:37:11 pm
Some time back I got a minty fresh dedicated 1981 Omega Products Double Up video poker in return for picking up a lot of games for a buddy of mine. It would always go to an error screen after a few games, so it wasn't really playable.

Then saturday at an auction I noticed that 5 of the video poker machines they had there were inexplicably running the 1981 Omega Double up PCB instead of anything modern. 4 of them were actually in brand new cabarets with LCD screens and the 5th was in a very recent vintage sit at cabinet.

I managed to snag to the 5th one for $50. I am of course going to use the board out of it to repair the original dedicated one.

Still need to figure out what to do with the leftover cabinet.

Could add a couple more buttons and make a mahjong cabinet.
