DarthNuno:  I beat you to it by some seconds!  :wink:

I've been following your progress since you started building your Nuno lair (gameroom). Now that you are starting to drag more machines into your kitchen, living room and so on..
Are you planning to build a bigger gameroom?  :D

The pinball game on the left is World Cup Soccer. The one on the right looks like Revenge From Mars..?

Sorry, I should have said which pictures I was talking about.  :oops:

Both Dragon's Lair and Interstellar work, but I wanted to see also these ones:

Nice page!  :D
But I'm having some problems with the cabinet pictures. Are they supposed to become bigger when I click them?

Dragon's Lair / Space Ace / My Euro DL cab

I have some questions..

I see that some of you use small metal legs under the cabinet, and it has also been used on mine. However, they have drilled through my LD player drawer, so it cannot be pulled out. How do you do it? Do you cut the leg levelers to make them fit under the drawer?
I want to preserve the cabinet so it doesn't get destroyed, but I want the original functionality.

The pcb feels sturdy enough, but the thought of using a laserdisc player and a disc feels somewhat daunting and prone to failure. Do you know any solution to use mpeg files instead? I don't think the Laser Ace interface card can use mpeg files? Can I connect the pcb to a pc running Daphne (or something like that) which will pull the mpegs from flash memory and display the frames requested by the pcb?

My cabinet is severly battered in some places. How do you feel about replacing the sides with new wood?

Hello friends!

DarthNuno asked me for pictures of my Euro DL cabinet, so here it is.  :D
I bought it two years ago, but I haven't really done anything to it yet except collecting the necessary parts. It's a bit trashed, but after seeing DarthNuno's Space Ace restoration I'm feeling a bit more confident that it will turn out ok.  :)



I had the choice between this and a Space Ace cab. The Space Ace was in better shape cosmetically, but it was lacking the Atari logo and the English instructions. I was later told that the English instructions are somewhat rare, so I am happy that I chose the DL.





The control panel is destroyed. I am wondering if I'll just make the new control panel fit the US overlay, so I don't need to worry about the die-cut holes.





Some views of the beat up cabinet..

Rear right corner



Inside. It has been converted to JAMMA, but luckily I have the documentation. And they have left the old power supply and sound board.









I have bought a couple of laserdisc players.



An Euro pcb.



Another Euro pcb and (hopefully compatible) sound board.



The second Euro pcb has a part which is broken off. I guess it's not a difficult fix. This one:



Some more sound boards.



I have one laserdisc, and hope to find a spare. I have also tracked down an original player, but I'm still persuading the seller.

That's all for now!  :D
