Pricecheck: Dragons Lair II PCB + Laserdisc
« on: November 03, 2012, 10:53:37 PM »
I have an untested Leland Dragons Lair II PCB and the DLII Laserdisc which I might want to sell, what is that stuff approx. worth?
The board looks like this one: http://www.arcade-museum.com/images/128/1281406235.jpg
I have no means of testing the board but it looks good. It has some wires soldered at the solderside, I don't know if this was a repair or a factory mod, it is well done at least.
The Laserdisc played fine some years ago when I still had a working LD Player and is since stored nice and cosy in my living room with my other LDs.

It depends if the disc if first or second pressing, you didn't specify.
If it's the second option (most common), I'd say you could get 100 + 100 € as a maximum if both pieces were tested and 100% working. Since this is not the case, expect a price drop of 30-40 % per piece. Usually those discs do not tend to rot if stored properly. Different story for the pcb. I've seen faulty ones and in some cases they are not a easy fix given the presence of some rare and hard to replace SMD ICs.
Good luck,

Matteo

Thanks Matteo!

I didn't know about first or second pressing, I have no clue whatsoever concerning Laser Disc games.
How can I identify which one I have?
Is there an actual difference between the two pressings? Or is it just a matter of rarity?

The discs are different and not compatible. You need specific ROM sets to play them. They can be identified by looking at the label for example, see here.

First pressing:



Second pressing:

Interesting!
Yeah, so I am pretty sure that I have a second pressing.
But the contents on the disc is the same, I guess?
