Dragon's Lair Restoration
Spyridon:
Nice work so far. I'd love to pick up a Dragon's Lair at some point. Unfortunately, your Daphne comment may get this nice restoration moved to a different area.
Is your scoreboard still in place or do you need to find a replacement?
More Cowbell:
I need a replacement scoreboard. I'll be keeping an eye out for it on eBay and anywhere else I can. I figured I would start with the restoration here and if the powers that be deem it a standard MAME cab, so be it. The only real difference is that this will be running on a computer instead of a laser disc player. I'm fine with it wherever, I mostly just wanted to put it all down on "paper" for posterity and for anyone doing one in the future that may benefit from something. There were several good restores out there on the innerwebs that I scoured before I even landed the cabinet.
Steve:
My Dragon's Lair runs Daphne (and I used the HD rip of the game and it's AWESOME)
I got a repro scoreboard that has Daphne support and works a treat.
I'll see if I can track down a scoreboard and I'll let you know ;D
Great to see another DL coming back (and a fan of the game too)
More Cowbell:
That would be awesome, Steve. Let me know what you find out and I'll keep this thread updated if I find one myself. :cheers:

I received the marquee and cpo from Quarterarcade yesterday. I have to say I'm not entirely impressed at first sight. They both look very grainy. I'm hoping they will look fine once installed. Now I need to focus my attention on recreating the marquee plexi. It has that bowtie shape and is bent in two places so it's not as easy as just cutting to fit. I plan on cutting it to shape, then heating it with a heat gun briefly and hoping for the best. Fortunately, the marquee goes on the outside of the plexi so any imperfections will be covered. I'll take some pics of the marquee and cpo and the process of creating the plexi bends.
