So The other day I when out to look at a Tetris. Under non-working. It was for $50 bucks. So I what the heck I got it. It's not original (most arn't) but. Think it's former glory was a Dragon's lair. What would be the best thing to do with it? I want to see other people ideas.

Basically would be great to bring it back as a Dragon's Lair cab,

but it depends if you are willing to work and spend for the restoration

Would do that if I can find enough parts for it. It's not working at the moment.
 
have you trouble shooted that at all yet? I emailed the seller about neck glow, and he honestly responded that he had zero knowledge about that stuff.

No I haven't gotten around to doing that. Your talking of the $50 tetris seller on craigslist right? The sellers a "she" just for clarification. :)
 
Make it a jamma cab, cheep and easy, just need a jamma harness, power supply, and monitor, wam , bam , thank you mam your done, now just pick a game board, personally iam parcial to golden axe. . . .
 
Exactly But I wasn't going to lead down a path till I can get what I have working...
So I think I'm on the right track.
 
I have a similar converted Tetris in an unknown Atari cab. I could not figure out what to do with it. My children made that decision for me. Keep it as a two player Tetris, They love it!

Post pictures!!
 
It would be cost prohibitive to return it to Dragon's Lair. If you want it to be a Dragon's Lair again (in principal anyway) you should turn it into a Daphne machine.
 
Not bad for a $80 garage sale pick-up. I have not even touched the monitor. Like I said, the kids love it. What Atari game does this cab belong to. It still has the Atari sticker on the back.

Much, much better than mine. It looks like a keeper! :)

Makes me weep inside a bit..

Then this will make you bawl. For the record I didn't do it. I'm hoping to trade it to someone willing to bring it back to it's former glory.
