I thought re titling this thread and editing the first post was better than starting a whole new thread about it.
I got a DK cabinet, completely gutted a few weeks ago. At first my intentions were to MAME it because it was the first cab I had come across in years of wanting one, but after speaking to a few folks on here I have decided to restore it back to a DK (possibly a 60 in 1 instead).
When I got the cabinet it was a fugly mess. The whole thing had been spray painted black very sloppy. The CP was covered in ugly marble blue shelf paper and had been modified for 2 joysticks and 2 buttons per side. There was a gouge in the top left corner, and the laminate was peeling slightly. The wiring was switched to JAMMA and there was a mystery board in it (Made by Konami, but since there is no monitor or PSU, I can't really tell what it is.)
Looks like I got my work cut out for me. Here are some pics taken the day I got it:
