New Old Stock


I found a marquee for my Omega Race arcade game. I had the choice of a used one, or a "NOS" one that was brand new with the protective paper still on it. That's a no-brainer - give me the new one! When it arrived, I was excited to peel off the paper and see my new found treasure. It was "new", but the temporary adhesive on the paper was 30 years old and had become permanent. It took over an hour to peel it all off in little tiny crumbs. Omega Race is looking pretty sweet now. I only have to make a patch piece of star & planet black-light background, and then it will be complete.
