I just picked up a dead vs system in a blue cabinet. I burned new roms and now its plays SMB again -- I want to convert this back to Donkey Kong. I assume that's what it was originally.
What do I need?
s/n plate on the back
Nintendo of America
Made in USA
MGS - UP - US
28794 PAK
Under that plate I found another plate presumably the original one?
Nintendo Co Ltd
Made in Japan
TKG4 - UP - US

I assume this proves it was once a Donkey Kong? It strangely has a Donkey Kong jr bezel, but is a blue cab with vs SMB in it....
so original monitor is there horizontal now though.... Guess I need some bars to switch back the L brackets are still mounted there though
I have no clue if any of the wiring is original or re-usable for DK. Same goes for the power supply and transformer are they original or vs retrofits?
should I fill 5 of the bolts holes on side and leave 2 or should I leave them all for this vintage of Donkey Kong?
What was the correct DK board set for this cabinet?
Attached is a pic if anyone can tell me?
