  3. Dragons Lair Screen Plexi & Score Board tint film

    Hopefully this is usefully to anyone renovating a DL. I wanted to replace my screen plexiglass and wanted to get the closest match to tint available. I have scanned the material with a VLT meter in a number of locations and averaged out the values, which ranged from 14.2% to 15.4%. It comes in...

  7. Dragons Lair Linear Power Supply Fuse question

    Im a bit confused can somebody help. This is the NPT board and the callout on the mounting states 5.0 amp fuse for F1 then F2 & 3 have 2amp. But the board is printed with F1 at 2 amp. Should there be a 5.0amp fuse in F1? I pulled the curent fuses and there is a 5 amp on F2 and F1 and 3 have 2...

    Stripped the paint of the coin door today with its frame and sent it off for finishing. Fixed my torn speaker diaphram and re finished the power panel.
  11. Dragon's Lair Restoration

    Interesting, I imagine production would use whatever stock was available at the time and it most likely changed, like the marquee light, now seen multiple types installed.
  12. Dragon's Lair Restoration

    Pulled the harness today and cleaned all the wires and connectors. I removed the wiring to the RS transformer and reconnected the cut ends together. Im going to be installing a Dexter and its adapter can handle 230V so I dont need this any more. Found a series of amber retainers that were...

    Done, thanks very much.
  14. Dragon's Lair Restoration

    The extra power transformer: So I think this cab was basically a grey import into the UK. Atari Ireland had the distribution and the marquees on those cabs were branded Atari amongst other things, but mine isnt. The 110V supply to the LDV1000 has been cut and new wire soldered in that sends the...

As...
  17. Dragon's Lair Restoration

    Speakers: I pulled the speakers and discovered that one had a torn diaphram that I fully intend to glue back. Thats sent me down the rabbit hole to try and discover who made the ones installed which are 8'' 8 Ohm. So I ran the info on the back of them through ChatGPT: S8B3079 137-8246...

  19. Dragon's Lair Restoration

    The linear power supply was next. Both transformers were rusted as were all the fixings. I cleaned up the transformers with a bronze brush then masked them off and gave them a coat of matt Krylon black. The grounding plate was likewise sprayed. I cleaned up all the bolts with a wire brush Dremel...
  20. Dragon's Lair Restoration

    So I bought this DL1 together with a DL2, Space Ace conversion (Marquee, CP, disk, roms) and a Thayers Quest conversion (sold to somebody on DLP years ago) about 30 years ago. It all worked but the DL needed some love back then. I started a restoration in 2010 but work and life got in the way so...
