I have had this for almost two weeks and was dying to reveal, but she needed a bit of cleaning up before being ready for primetime.

HUGE thanks to Joe (acejedi) for walking me through the basics of "everything laser". I sent him a PM asking for help on a few basic questions and he ends up spending over an hour on the phone with me taking me from laser "noob" to "quasi-laser-expert".

LOL

Great guy ... an asset to our hobby!

Also, big thanks to dangerwil for taking care of this one for so long and hooking me up with a great deal and even bigger thanks to Rich in Jax for helping me get this beast up the stairs!

I suck now, but soon I will be in the Dragon's Lair and Daphne will be mine!

And the pics ...

I know ... I need to order some black carriage from Bob Roberts! They are on the way, but I was dying to share!

Thanks for looking!

You can turn those carriage bolts in your drill / driver, just chuck them like a regular bit and hold them against some sandpaper for a few seconds.

Then take an awl or small screwdriver, punch a few holes in some thick cardboard, screw those bolts in the holes and paint the heads.

Just in case you needed more info on Dragon's Lair, here's a great site along with strategy guides: http://www.dragons-lair-project.com/
 
*cough* lasers suck *cough*

I love you too Sexy Fluffer! Lol!

No problem on the info hit me up on the phone anytime you've got any questions. Remember still want the players etc when you get a chance, Dylan I heard Mike came ove and checked out the Boards for the Taxi! How did it work out.

Congrats Again on the Dragons Lair and don't let the laser haters get you down there just JEALOUS even though they will never admit it LOL

my dogs dead asshole...

I had no idea the thread would turn into this overnight. Sorry Joe!

LMAO!

Update: Stayed up half the night playing DL ... yeah, it is every bit as cool as I remember it.

The good news is I got a ton of freebies in this deal - 22 laser disk players, an assload of laser movies, 3 extra DL main boards, 4 extra display boards, an extra High-tech mechanical card, an extra HTSC conersion card, a Space Ace laser disk (roms are already configured to play both games), the Special Edition Dragon's Lair laser disk, 2 Space Ace marquees, 2 Dragon's Lair marquees, and a boatload of other laser stuff I haven't yet been able to identify.

Deal of the century! I am thrilled.

P.S. Joe - I am starting to to get all of your stuff packed up. It is going to take a little bit of time to do it right and find suitable boxes to ensure this stuff gets all the way across the country unscathed.
 
Awesome pickup. Dragon's Lair and Space Ace are the only two LD games I remember from BITD and I'd love to have either. Soooooo jealous!!! :D

:beerchug:
 
Nice looking Dragon's Lair! Whats with the three buttons on the control panel though? Are they the buttons for the difficulty if you convert it to Space Ace?

LD's fascinate me. As a kid this game in particular ate my money faster than Frizz can hot box a spliff. I couldn't afford to play any of them because I sucked lol.

I think they are magnificent congrats sounds like you got yourself a smokin ass deal.

That is exactly what they are for.

There is also a switch inside the cabinet, so all I have to do to play SA is switch the laserdisc and filp that switch (and maybe change the marquee if I'm not too lazy).

Now you need a Space Ace! LOL..

Any chance one of your free players was a white Phillips player. If so, pm me.

I already helped MM with the laser players and what he had, No VP phiiilp Fire fox players, if there was they would already be heading to California, The Fire fox cockpits always can use Backups! Sorry man but there were none!
