I know someone who is trying to give away a mint Matrox CDV-1082 DVD player with some minor issues like missing cover, no power cord. This player works and is suppose to be NOS. It works in games like Dragon's Lair, Space Age and I think a couple more. I was going to take it but I just don't have the space to keep it around in case someone comes by some day wanting one. So if you're interested I'll give you his email address and you can go from there. BTW, all he want's is that you pay postage on the 25lb beast.
 
I've never heard of that type of laser or DVD player working in a Dragons Lair cabinet. DVD players dont work in Dragons Lair cabinets at all but your thread title says "laser disc player". Perhaps you mistyped "DVD" meaning "laser". Whatever the case, I have never heard of that type of laser player working in a Dragons Lair or Space Ace.

The only compatible players for Dragons Lair/ Space Ace that I've known in my 15 years of collecting laser games are:

Pioneer LD-V1000 for later production cabinets made in the USA
Pioneer PR-7820 for earlier production cabinets made in the USA
Philips 22VP932 for all games made in Europe

There is a chance that it may work with Astron Belt or Galaxy Ranger as those cabinet use Hitachi/Sega VIP9500SG and Hitachi VIP9550 laser players and I believe the Matrox CDV-1082 has the same command set as those.

Agree

Yea..I agree...I don't recall any other laser players that work in a DL/SA/TQ etc..

Could you double check with your friend and get the exact make and model??

True
 
True, read my edited post above. I'm pretty sure a Matrox CDV-1082 will work in Astron Belt or Galaxy Ranger because it has the same command set as the Sega/Hitachi VIP9500SG and Hitachi VIP9550.
 
I will speak for acejedi and say he'll take it


Thanks for speaking up for me but I'm gonna pass. Its a player that will work in AB and GR as DirkddS mentioned above but this player will not work in DL or Space ace or any other macines that use the LDV 1000 or 1001 pioneer. Now if anybody has one of those players I'm very interested.

I have both Astron Belt and Galaxy Ranger and could use the player, if nobody else has claimed it.
