I picked up a Space Firebird board set from a Nintendo cocktail this weekend. I am thinking about installing it in my red Nintendo cabinet, I am looking for just the wood part.
 
How handy are you? That boardset has a unique pin out that would require you to get a pin to edge connector that would require mapping.
 
Also, be aware that it would have used a Radarscope style panel, having a donkey kong style panel would be very uncomfortable.

Like previously mentioned, pre-radarscope games also had a different pinout, to the pp7* power supplies will not work with this game.

some what handy. I was going to buy the jamma adapter but he is not shipping to the USA right now. I know its not going to be easy.

The radar scope button holes look correct but the joystick is different. I figured I would need to drill holes for the correct layout.

Are you sure about that? I am pretty sure that the joysticks on the cocktail table are different from the upright. I was under the assumption that space firebird used the radarscope style joysticks for the upright.

Also, keep in mind that the buttons on a dk panel won't line up with the buttons on a space firebird overlay.

That might be correct but I have not found any picture of a upright Space Firebird cabinet. I was going to use a regular joystick with a Nintendo Joystick 2-way Guide Plate. Mikes arcade has some of the harness I will need.

I did that originally with my Radarscope before finding an original. I used a router to make the slot for an original joystick.

That said. You mentioned getting parts from a cocktail, if you have the cocktail control panels hit me up, I am in need of those :).
