DK project underway. - 99% DONE! 9-14-2010
I picked up a red DK a few weeks ago. It's in pretty good shape, but definately needs some work. It supposidly lived it's life at a bowling alley and then went to storage for more than a decade. I decided I would gut it, clean it, paint or vinyl it and put it back together as my keeper. I started simple and I'm rebuilding the cp, polishing up the bezel and marquee.
Today the real work began. The complete gutting! I found a chuck e cheese token inside as well as some of the missing coin mech bolts and nuts. I also found the bezel wood stop on the top that was missing. Now I need to start the cleaning. If anyone has tips etc on any rebuilding let me know. This is my first attempt and I'm in no hurry since I have another DK to play. Here's a few pics...... - Barry
