Buy or Borrow Cloak & Dagger Defender Conversion Control Panel for Reproduction

It seems like the need for the Cloak & Dagger control panel for the Defender conversion far outweighs the supply, so I'm hoping to either buy someone's extra CP or borrow one. My plan is to do a run of reproduction panels and offer them on KLOV. Please let me know if you have one to sell or would be willing to let me borrow one, with me paying shipping both ways and giving you either a panel from the run or a little cash for the inconvenience. If anyone else already has this project in the works, please let me know and I will happily step aside and place my name on your order list! :D
 
Hump day bump for a request that could help a lot of collectors. I'm getting PMs from people who also need one if I'm able to do a run. Can anyone please help out an unpopulated panel, even to just borrow for a little while?
 
Found one to borrow. For those who have PMed me and expressed interest in getting one, an interest thread will be posted soon.
 
Very interested in a control panel. also I have 2 main boards for c@d for trade other rare pcb's or cash offers

I was lucky enough to find a KLOVer who is willing to loan his out CP and another KLOVer with the skills and equipment who will do the fabrication. We'll be doing coordination after GrinkFest next month, so the project will be moving along nicely! I'll be sure to give you a heads up when he posts the interest thread.

I'm sure that news of you having some boards for sale or trade will make someone very happy!
 
This is cool. I'm also interested in one of these.

That's good to hear! My sense has been that there will be enough demand that it will be worth doing the run, but hearing that other people are excited makes me feel better about pushing for this to happen. Cloak & Dagger is such a fun game and the cabinet art is great; it will be fun to see more of them out in the world!

Put me down for one.

If someone can get me a complete conversion harness to look over, I can make repro conversion harnesses to go along with this.

I can lend mine out. However, what really should be done is two versions of modified harnesses, one that is set up for using Mark's JAMMA adapter (basically just a JAMMA harness, but maybe just made to the proper length for the cab), and the other that will let you use an Atari brick and AR-II.

The conversion harness is meant to be used with the Defender power supply and sound board, which is the least desirable of the available power options, IMO.

You could copy the conversion harness as-is, and maybe make adapters for the other options. Or you could just integrate the adapter into the harness.
 
with any luck I might be interested in a panel, and ideally a harness run off a switching power supply and easily connected to a readily available sound amp.

thanks to everyone for their efforts!!
 
I can make them pretty much anyway you want them. Just need to see what I'd be working with to know where to go with them. I think making a batch identical to the OEM version as well as conversion type would be a good start. I can take it anywhere from that starting point.

I'll be working on making the repro control panels, just waiting for sample to arrive ;)

I work full time doing Solidworks 3D modeling and program CNC punch sheet metal parts as my 'day job' - this will be a fun project for me, and helping my friend Carrie get a CP at the same time :)

Yes, that would be great if you could offer harness(es) as well. I'll PM you soon, maybe we try and coordinate release of both around the same time.

If I can get a Crystal Castles style CP version or CPO to line up with, I'd be happy to offer that version as well....anyone want to send me a sample, I'll return along with a free repro CP for your contribution :D

so is Gack already doing this project and now the OP is not doing it? Whoever is officially doing it would you mind starting an official 'interst thread'?

exciting stuff! always VERY appreciative of the guys going the extra mile for their fellow hobbyists

OP here. Gack and I are doing this jointly. I was responsible for getting the part and he will be doing production. Gack has indicated that he would like to make sure he has a good verified product before posting an interest thread. As soon as we have confirmed the repro fits, he'll post a separate interest thread in the correct section. :)
