Attention Members,
This letter is to inform you of a new communications system to service the industry
nationwide. This new communications system is called OMA (Operators-Manufacturers
Alliance). We are sure that you have read about this new communications system in all of the
industry trade magazines. The OMA will provide a communication link between operators and
manufacturers . Several 800 numbers will be provided for your convenience to call OMA if you
have any questions about any of your equipment from any manufacturer. This includes technical
information, marketing information, modifications; and to discuss your ideas and input on modifi-
cations of games presently on the street. Also, your ideas of future design of any piece of
equipment-i.e. video, pinball, shuffle alley, phonograph, pool tables, foosball, etc.
This communications system will be the start of a new bond between the manufacturers
and the operators. This sytem will in no way exclude the distributors. It is simply providing a
support system for the distributors and manufacturers to provide a better communication system
for the industry . We are sure that there have been times that you, the operator, have wanted to
contact a specific manufacturer in order to get advice, give advice, or to ask a specific question to a
specific department, but fail to follow through with it. This is where OMA will help you, by making
calls for you and getting rapid replies. Your downtime will be cut to a minimum. Those of you who
have been successful in reaching the factories have sometimes been unsuccessful in reaching the
person or persons to correctly handle your needs. We feel that the industry is somewhat frag-
mented after the video boom. Now that business is settling down, we want to bring unity to the
industry through communication. There will be a $100 a year fee to join OMA. This cost is simply a
help to defray printing costs. The factories will be supporting OMA financially to offset overhead in
other areas. There is a form at the bottom of this letter for you to fill out and mail to OMA with your
attached check. Please reply as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
/CJ-t? 6~~
