I have to tell you - I don't know what you do for a living, but you should quit and become a photographer.

You have a great eye for a good picture opportunity.  Seriously.

Thanks for sharing - those pics of the abbey and some others were absolutely fantastic.  You European folks are quite lucky at exactly how many things you can see in such a short time.  Germany to Italy in less time than it would take me to cross Texas.

Anyway - great grab on the Joust 2 cab.  I can't wait to see some restoration pics and that puppy in action!

Great job, thanks for sharing.

I have just one question about the C3 theatre though - where are you going to put it eventually?

Hi Steve,

I'll start the construction of new game room (more an extension in fact), behind the existing one, and the name will be of course : Nuno V  ;)

So Stay Tuned   ;) (...but I can take some time  :roll: ...)

Nice... can't wait to see.

Hey Bruno,

As always, I love reading your road trip stories - mostly because they're damn funny.

You have some great friends, and a most understanding wife - mine would not be this cool.  ;D

I've especially loved the two game room videos and progress stories, as well as your restorations.

I have just one question about the C3 theatre though - where are you going to put it eventually?

It is absolutely huge!!

Anyway, thanks for sharing, the stories and pics are just great!

Steve

Nerves of steel man!

I wouldn't even attempt all of that wiring - bravo!!

Can't wait to see the finished product.

Thank you sir - spent a LONG time looking at your game room last night.  WOW!

I live in Round Rock, which is a suburb north of Austin.

I've been checking Craig's List, which can be good, but then I see this game or that game, and I want them all...

Can't do that though.

I think that what I've decided is every arcade gamer/collector has a TOP 5 or TOP 10 list in their head of "must haves", should money or space not be an issue.

Dragon's Lair just happens to be #1 on my personal list.

I see some of the collections here on this site of people who have several working, cosmetically beautiful DL cabs, and say, "Why do they have so many?"

What I really mean is, "Where can I get one of those?"  ;D

I can continue to be patient; after all, I'm 37, and have waited this long...  ;)

Peace,
Orri~

Thanks guys - some sites have good info, but aren't a whole lot of fun.  That's what attracted me to the site - FUN!

As for refurbishing, I'm sure that I could do it if I had the time, means, energy, etc.  With two small boys and a demanding job, I simply don't have the time or desire to refurbish something from scratch.

I know it may sound lame, and I hope no one is bothered by this, but I would just prefer to get one in the condition that I'm looking for, rather than a big project.  ;D

Eventually, I'd love to own DL, DLII and Space Ace, as well as several other laser cabs.

I have four cabs right now, but none of them are laser games (or "classics" for that matter.)

Thanks again all!

Thanks!

I would expect that some of the electronics would be newer or repaired/replaced.  I'm just looking for an original cabinet, rather than one that someone made themselves.

Thanks again!

Absoutely fabulous collection Mike!

I think that between you and Finny, you've got everything pretty much covered.

I was wondering if you have any suggestions for someone in the states who is looking for a DL cab.  (An original, not a made from scratch one.)

Since you seem to have a lot of luck finding them (4 inverted SA dedicated cabs!), I thought I'd ask.

Again - fantastic collection man; I love seeing all of the different items and cab types.

Great job with the site as well.

Orri~

I happened upon this site when I was looking at Jason Finn's DL collection on the Dragon's Lair Project website.

I was having so much fun looking at everything here last night, I didn't realize that I'd been looking at pics and videos for over 4 hours!

Anyway, great site - I'll be visiting quite often.

I was checking out the other site (and this one), because I would so love to own an original/operation Dragon's Lair cabinet someday, and was trying to find out the best places to acquire one.  I'm not a technical person, so refurbishing or restoring one is pretty much out of the question.

Any advice, suggestions or the like is greatly appreciated.

Again - super fun site, keep up the great work!!

Steve (Orri~)
