Craigslist score!

Too bad it wasn't Excitebike instead of Superbike. Awesome find. I can't believe the converter left the original ROMs in the game. Hardly anybody ever does that. Very lucky. Some of those ROM swap kits might be awful games but converting back sure is nice. No reason to f*ck with the wiring, PS or monitor orientation if you don't have to install a different PCB. A lot of people just flipped the monitor bezel around in Nintendos, regardless of what game they were converting to. I don't know if I would go back to DK if it was me. I might go with DK3 or Jr. I guess I am still sore from DK kicking my butt, even though I haven't had mine for almost a year.
 
When I sold my DK, I was very frustrated with the infamous 3rd elevator stage. I did manage to clear it just before parting with the game but that is the reason I don't have it anymore. I got really tired of not being able to do it. That said, I would rather play DK Jr. or DK3. I was going to say, I would rather rotate the monitor and do a Mario Bros. kit but I didn't think anyone wanted to hear that.
 
They look damn good to me, If anything Magic Eraser/2000 grit sandpaper/wax it first.

Yeah, i think it will clean up pretty good. Maybe i can spot a few places on the kick panel good enough.

Sounds crazy, I know, but do you have plans for the old Super Bike marquee?

Probably just hang on to it for now.

I do like dk and need to get better at those 3rd level springs. I'm getting killed by them less and less now. I've already got Jr. and i've got a wide body mario, so DK it's gonna be.
 
Funny, 2 month old thread I know, I picked up this same conversion tonight of CL for very cheap, works, just need the roms now...:), I have a few sanyos just sitting, easy swap, and I already have a CP and marquee...looking forward to some kong
 
I saw that machine listed and thought about posting it here. Congrats on the pickup. What do you think of superbike? It should still have the original sanyo in it though. Let me know if you need the swap instructions, I have them scanned.

Didn't the guy have a mario bros too?
