Hey Guys,
So after years of searching and looking around I finally pulled the trigger and got my first real arcade game. On top of that..its my favorite game to play! I put together a mame cocktail machine as well as an xbox 360 custom showcase cabinet..but this is my first real classic! This is what I got....
Donkey Kong
Rug Rats? hah

The DK has some funky looking joystick so i'm definitely going to replace that. It also looks like it needs a cap kit for the board and sound board i'm assuming. The Rug rats cabinet is being thrown in so I guess if I can get it working I can throw a 60 in 1 board in there. Does anyone know what the Rug Rats cabinet actually was beforehand..or what I can restore it into? Please be honest.. think I got a decent deal on the DK if all it needs is a cap kit and new joystick? I have to fix it up cosmetically eventually but i'm moving in a year or two so i'm probably going to wait on restoring the outsides.
thanks!
Jason
