well this game was built from a couple of machines, it started off as a DKJR cabinet with a DK PCB and held up in its original form for a solid 3 days at a show we did in Orlando back in August, the plan was to have it finished prior to show as Billy Mitchell was meant to attend the show, anyway after the show it got its makeover, another friend gave me a better cabinet, to use as a donor, so was stripped, sanded, the usual, HFK built me a new base!! :)

well cabinet was just about done this last week, HFK posts about Richie needing a machine for Billy's arcade in Orlando Airport, so make a few calls, few last minute runs to get new buttons, bolts etc to try and finish it off, and now it's sitting in the King of Kong Arcade at Orlando Airport, not had chance to go back yet, as daughters been in hospital and that, just thought would share some pics of it :)

Finally! Is there a high score save kit in it? It would be a good place to try to get your name up.
 
yes there is a HS kit in it, but chances are the scores that could well be on it, are nigh on impossible to beat
 
You really did a nice job on this Mick. Just glad I could help a little and I get a kick that something I built (even though it is just a base) is sitting in Billy's arcade right now. I still want a pic of him playing it and make sure he lets us post a flyer for GameWarp 2012 in there. :D
