The next time there's an old "Arcade Video Game Auction" in your area drop by and look for an old "Dragon's Lair", especially if you can find one that has a damaged screen or controllers or logic board that way you can get it even cheaper. Buy this puppy and inside you'll find a perfectly usable (if somewhat simple) Phillips Laserdisc player. Of course classic game collectors might be outraged at the thought of tearing apart an old "Dragon's Lair" or "Space Ace" game just for the laserdisc player (but as a plus you'll be auction the game disc off on the collector's newsgroup).

It's not labled as anything but a period and it's the very last link on my main page. The Handle that it uses is Secret_CrAB_Link so you'll have to mention in your posts who you are. I do that by putting CRACKERS --

on the first line of my post. The reason I made this link was so I could log onto the Tap Room from a guest account accessing my webpage so as not to use up any of my on-line time quota with my ISP. But my fellow FES members who are having trouble accessing the site can feel free to use it too. Just don't publicise outside this group what it is.

A better way to identify yourself is to use Crackers' link, then delete the part of the address that says "Secret_CrAB_Link" and type in your own handle in its place, then hit the return key. If that doesn't sound too complicated. Lem. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 6 Jun 1997 06:06:24 -0500 From: "James E.

Wherever did you get the idea that a LD player costs $1k? My perfectly servicable Sony was a mere $250. I've seen better ones for $450 that had more features than I would ever use. If that doesn't help, then I would be more than happy to make an archival copy of YOUR laserdisc onto VHS (so you can watch it). Email me privately for that option. - --James - -- James E.
