Hi, anyone know where I can get the drill sheet for omega acryllium?

I have PDFs of the drill sheet from an Omega Lion.  I'm not able to confirm if that's the same core though...

I believe the Lion has a similar enough drill sheet. J_Mac, I'll send you my email so you can send it, and I can confirm. Been a while since I've seen one. :)

I think its very close to the omega sheet, just a little different wording, due to the label being different. The original and LM had the clock (abcdef i think?)

Cobolt, I would LOVE to see that sheet!

Maybe... if you scan it and save it as a .jpg it could go up as a link to a website like photobucket... file size would likely be too large to attach it to a post and have it remain viewer friendly.

I now have it on PDF if you send your e-mail. It is too large to load on here.

Maybe you could dropbox it and share it in pdf form.

Is it the Omega Dry or Wet?  Oh, and YGM...

@J_mac, it just says omega acryllium.  Light blue color.  Pearl i believe.

On another note, does anyone know anything regarding the coverstock,as maybe compered to the old urethanes? Or maybe old resin covers?

I'm fairly positive there wasn't what many consider a pearl version of acryllium ever produced.

From what I've read and heard, the reaction was "stronger" than urethane, but not as "jerky" as reactive covers from that era.  It was phased out pretty quickly due to issues with the production process that lead to duds, but I might be misremembering...

Ok, the pervious owner probably polished it.  I got it as a gift.
Thanks for the assist.  If i can get my computer savy friend to help me might even post a video here with that ball.

Any caveats particular to the ball?

That cover was almost impossible to sand. You should be able to play near the track area. If you have a dry,it literally has the word dry on it. Later versions of the cover were more tunable.
