« Last post by DarthNuno on July 13, 2025, 11:23:46 AM »
Rare enough to be worth mentioning here... and keeping track of it: a Starblade arcade cabinet is for sale in UK, listed onto our friends UKVAC forum.
These are becoming very difficult to find these days 8) That one took quite a bit of work, but it was totally worth it!  :spaceace:

Dragon's Lair / Space Ace / Re: Dragon's Lair 2, the second one... WIP!

Alright, I'm finally posting some updates about the beast... ::)

Weel, there's not much to be done with the side arts... sadly, they've suffered too much  :-\  :arrow:



Damn, that glue must've been strong! peeling off the sticker also tore off part of the wood surface.  :o  :arrow:



The wood on the rear edge got soaked where the sticker was missing, and now it?s so fragile it practically disintegrates on contact.



I'm going to use this rotten wood hardener. I've used it several times before, so I know it works!



I need to get a flat surface again, so I'm starting sanding with coarse grit.



Then another pass with finer sandpaper (400). You can clearly see the difference on the areas that have already been sanded.  :arrow:



All done! rotten patch repaired, and it's now rock-solid like the rest of the wood!

126,- uff - I think I would have considered plexi glass, even if its not "original correct".

Yes, I hesitated a bit when the shop gave me the price, but hey... since it's a Dragon's Lair 2, an arcade cabinet that means a lot to me, I decided to do things properly and... to hell with stinginess.  8)

Oh and obviously, with that kind of price tag, I measured more times than a chef tastes his own sauce before serving.  ;D

Galaxian Theater / Re: Galaxian 3 Funworld Update

Thanks for the update. It's a good way to do things even if it runs into a small issue after an hour, it's really nice to launch the game anyway for those who want to.  :spaceace:

So it turns out that if you ask the technician there, he can turn the theater on for an hour. The reason it's not always on is because of a fault that develops on the left side, presumably due to a failing laserdisc player. The sound is screwed up too. However, the game is still enjoyable in it's entirety, and efforts are being made to fix the issue.
