I restored this cab last summer and realised I didn't detail it here. So thought I'd setup a thread detailing the process as posted on another forum.
I decided to go for a Donkey Kong II cab.
As far as I know when it's complete, this will be the only one in this country with full artwork and paint job (if not Europe).
All images can be clicked for bigger detail.
So this is what I had to start with:

A pretty generic and beat up DK cab, with no artwork or bezel or marquee. General condition is solid but pretty tatty, with dents, scratches and marks. But everything is there.
So starting with the strip down:

I'd already managed to get a new chassis for the Sanyo monitor from the US. It wasn't working at all. Thanks to some help from TBLilley, we'd got the thing working again, although we managed to fry two boards in the process. Ooops.
