Donkey kong 2 Kits or Not

Thanks for the advice on the Art. Just have to figure out whether or not I want a classic look or the DK II look.

I am leaning towards DKII.

I posted the original machine... I will post pics as it comes to life again.

The art is quality. I have the complete set and it is as good as the highest quality arcade art out there. Screened art on plexi where applicable and of course on vinyl for the side art.

Rikitiki showed me some of the pieces when I was there. It is just as high quality as ANYTHING that was ever made in the 80's. Rikitiki's a master and truly an asset to this hobby.

Now I just need to decide between the classic look and the DK II.

Machine is all torn down.

I'll start posting the restore, but here is the machine at beginning.


It looks better in the pic than it actually is:

Currently it is all in peices, cleaned and I am searching for a new coin door. The door on it was bent to heck... the wood was stressed from someone kicking it hard. The hinges were held together with nails.

The monitor was covered with half and inch of (dust and greasy crap)
that has been cleaned. It has plenty of screen burn and make a slight noise. I am hoping that a cap kit is going to cure that.

Removed and clean the PS. I am hoping after this cleaning it won't smell so bad.
