After a deep dive into the world of Kong from the rarest cabinets, to high score controversies, point pressing and beyond, I am officially obsessed! After months of searching literally everywhere for my perfect cab I found this beauty! I believe it is a truly "all original" (aside from joystick & buttons), low serial, original all matching no copyright art, BLUE TKG3!
Nothing too crazy planned aesthetically. New t-molding and side art for right side. Left side art will be left original. Will clean up the cig burns on control panel, touch up the spots that the current incorrect joystick has been rubbing off. Replace said joystick with a proper one! Mechanically will be bulletproofing & recapping everything!




Would love to hear your thoughts, opinions and any advice you may have for the machine, and my attempt at "restoring" it.
If you spot anything fishy, negative or period incorrect sort of things about it that I may have missed I'm all ears. I'm not against it being critiqued negatively or being corrected if something I say or claim is incorrect!
I'm very curious to learn if finding a "no copyright" blue TKG3s in this condition was as rare of a find as I feel like it may have been..??
