Re: Sega vector dedicated's?

well, it's another one of those fine line definitions of "dedicated"
again.. Technically ALL Sega vector games were offered both as dedicated
cabs and kits. A factory built Space Fury wasn't dedicated anymore if
you stuck an Eliminator kit in..

 The only kit that saw any real quantity
was ST, but the majority of the other UR vectors (Space Fury, Eliminator,
Tac/scan, Zektor) were sold complete and weren't
kits.

 The confusion comes
from the fact that i don't think ST was
offered factory complete in a convert-a-game cab but only in the unique UR
cab & cockpit, with kits for convert-a-game & non-Sega cabs..

BTW Sega offered Monoco GP, Turbo, and Space Firebird in a mini cab.
