Dragon's Lair II help

Hope this fills in the blanks. In the middle of the video my phone went out of focus so if you give it time I am able to fix it. Again let me know if you need anything else because I'm about to put humpty dumpty back together again.

Wow, I owe you one. Thanks for that video. Glad you used the tape measure as that's gonna take all the guess work out of making that speaker panel from scratch.
I love that green T-molding you went with. Makes the cabinet pop with that new side art. Whats the plain after you get the cabinet finished? Are you gonna try and find all original parts and bringing it back to original or are you considering Daphne or MAME.
Let me know if I can be of any help. I have been collecting info on the game over the years so I might have some info that might help.
Thanks again and looking forward to seeing your game complete.
 
Happy I could help in this tale of two cabinets. Glad you like that green t molding as I was on the fence as to either stay old school or have a little fun with it.

After the cosmetics are out of the way I have a short term solution and a long term plan. For the quick fix I picked up a arpicade (jammatized raspberry pi running daphne) from high score saves. Long term I'm hoping to find the parts to bring this cab back completely origional. So far I have a laserdisk player and thats about it. I'd like to find the ntsc to cga video converter next for my k7000 series monitor.

Keep posting your progress as this thread is just as much yours as it is mine.

Do you know if your monitor is original to the cabinet? If so it should have a small board with a 8 pin plug in the middle of the chassis. This plug should have 3 wires,black,blue and green that run to the WG NTSC converter which is mounted to the 3 plastic standoffs on the right side of the cabinet looking in though the back. That plug powers the NTSC board and you also have a set RGB SYC wires from the NTSC back to the monitor input. If it's not the original monitor with that power plug I am not sure how easy it would be to add it to the monitor. Here's a picture I found years ago on Ebay showing what it all looks like and a picture of my monitor which has that plug and NTSC board. My monitor is a WG25K7193
What laser disc player do you have?
Should be a Sony LDP-1450

Yes I scored a supposedly working Sony LDP-1450 without the face cover. I think this might be an original monitor also since the operator bought dl 2 new and just converted throughout the years. That 8 pin plug in the middle might have lost a pin along the way.

Yea yours has the 8 pin plug like the one in the first picture I posted, that one pin missing I am sure is just to key the plug so you cant plug it in backwards. My monitor has a vertical daughter card with the plug coming off it at a 90 degrees angle.
Not sure what the difference is but it might have something to do with the fact their are 2 different WG NTSC cards. There are two
basic revisions, 85X0172 (P371) and 85X0311 (P600). I think mine has the P600. Not sure what game mine came from but it was suppose to be from a laser game.
I saw that DL2 marquee on Ebay but yea that's a little rich for it. Yours will do till you find one. They pop up once in a wile but are still usually a little pricey. I got mine on Ebay back in 2004 for $42.00.
 
ntsc board

any luck finding an ntsc board?
just picked up a converted DL 2 and about to begin restoring it:)

looks like i just need this board and then i should be golden.
 
Not yet, I switched gears working on other projects and was really happy with how well the arpicade played DL2. My CP is with a friend that has welding skills to de swiss cheese it.
