New(er) Project: Cobra Command

[Dexter]

Hey all,

In the middle of the Atari System 1 build I came across a LAI Cobra Command (LAI was the Australian distributor for most games in the 80's)
Doesn't have the LD or player or boards, but that's OK as I'll run Daphne on it. I'm planning on collecting it this week 

Here is a picture of it:



I'll remove the scoreboard plexi and I might re-paint it all black like the original.

Once I get it I'll clean it up and post up some more pictures 

So, that makes this my 4th LD cab  WooHoo Space Ace, dragon's Lair, Interstellar and now Cobra Command 
And now I have the plans, perhaps a DLII or SA91 might find their way into my arcade

Hi Dexter,
That's a great find! Congratulations. Is that in a dedicated Space Ace Cabinet?
Take more pics if you don't mind!

Thanks Alex,

It's in a dedicated Dragon's Lair cabinet (Australian version) and as soon as I have it there will be more pics

Wow... it will be an impressive LD Cab collection 

I never had the chance to play Cobra Command in the past. Good luck for this project Dexter

Good Luck on your game project!!!              I've never got to play this game!     (it never came to our arcade)

[Dexter]

Thanks guys 

I can't believe that you guys never got to play it in the arcades (it's a great game too, well I think so)
You've played it via Daphne yeah ? if not then you should.

I really want to build a Cliff Hanger cab but I can't find any plans anywhere 

Well I hope to have this cab at home by friday 
More pics then

I wanted to build a Cliff Hanger too. A fellow forum member (Mike from Long Island) lives less than 15 miles away from me and he had one. He sold it before I got a chance to go take measurements of it. In fact I have never gotten a chance to meet Mike yet, only through email!
Good luck with the build. I will try Cobra Command on my Daphne setup.

Yeah I'd LOVE to get some Cliffy plans so I could put my Cliff Hanger: Restored Edition in it 

Also looks like I'll have Cobra Command here tonight 

Stay tuned 

[Dexter]

Well, here it is

The cab looks like it's in primo condition. Congrats on this find!
Where can I get a copy of the "restored" Cliff Hanger video? Mine are pretty bad (the standard ones floating around the internet).
