Picked up a DK upright yesterday from RayWest. I'm happy with it but it has an interesting custom wiring job which is likely related to the fact that the power supply has been replaced.
I was a bit concerned that the PCB was not original, but upon further inspection it looks like a legit 2 board DK with an HSK. Few questions, that maybe someone can help answer.
- Why did they relocate the PCB from the side to the middle? Is this common?
- The joystick is wired direct into the PCB with no disconnect connector which kind of annoys me because when you pull the CP there is no slack, any reason why I can't replace it with the original joystick wire harness - that is if I can find one..
- Any advantage to restoring the psu with an original?
- I didn't take a picture of it yet but the sideart has been replaced (repro) - they pulled the bolts out so that they didn't have to be put through the decal art - does anyone have a picture of how the vertical monitor is supposed to be mounted? Currently appears to be held on by just the base cross member (where the monitor chassis boards sit).
-I'm assuming the boot up screen (see pics) is because of the HSK kit. Does the HSK kit muck with the gameplay/sound in anyway?
