A fan of the Domesday Duplicator project is currently opening pre-orders on a run of fully assembled and flashed Domesday86 Duplicator kits. These kits, when combined with (and modded into) a compatible player allow a direct image of a LaserDisc to be saved! The project has also evolved to both PAL and NTSC VHS, but it’s currently still in beta, with audio support requiring another DdD86 to capture the additional stream..
This project is one of my (Bob’s) personal favorites and I’m absolutely buying one as well! Not only is this fun for personal projects, this can help for preservation too; If multiple people rip the same LaserDisc, the companion software ‘LD Decode’ can automatically take the best quality parts from each and ensure a much more thorough rip. Please check out the original interview and post for all the info you’d need to bring you up to speed on the project: https://www.retrorgb.com/interview-with-simon-and-chad-of-the-domesday-duplicator-project.html

Shipping
- We will ship anywhere locally or internationally (from the Pacific Coast of the US).
- Prices do not include shipping (we’ll request a second payment for shipping and materials once the package is ready to be sent to you).
- While we’re trying to take weeks at most, please plan around not receiving a unit for several months.
- Why such a long lead time?
- We’re setting expectations to give buffer time to the fine chap soldering and assembling all this so they don’t burn out, stress out, or have a passion and hobby meant to help the community, turn into a chore. This is also meant to plan around further stoppages or slow downs in shipping from China due to the Coronavirus.
