This came up for sale locally. It was hard to tell in the online posting if it was red or orange. I texted the owner, to learn the part number on the nameplate on the back is TKG2-US-UP. A bit dubious, but even more intrigued, I went and checked it out. Found a 4-board TKG3 (US SET 2) board set within, as well as original buttons and some other aspects of the cabinet that had me interested at the right price. A bit of negotiation later, I now have a red TKG2 to sit next to my blue TKG4.
I'm not sure I fully trust the legitimacy of this cab, although the 4-board set alone made it worth the purchase, for me. I put this out to the community, to help me figure out what I do and don't have.
What I know I have:
-4-board set w/ ladder glitch and C 1981 Nintendo title screen, I find part number TKG3-06-SOU on the sound board, but no part number on the board that it is married to
-TKG2-UP-US steel nameplate on back, serial number 10498
-original buttons, and presumably original joystick
-some parts appear to be re-painted, like the control panel, possibly the sides, but other red parts appear to be un-re-painted, and I can't tell a difference between any of the red parts
-The marquee doesn't have C 1981 Nintendo of America, like my TKG4 cab has
-Flat t-molding - this stuff is brittle some of it on the lower right side chipped off when I was loading it into my truck
-PT-8A transformer
-No key to get into the back
-Power supply with apparently 1982 manufacture date
-A marquee that is partially caved, but apparently undamaged, and can't be fixed until I get into the back of the cab
-Fully working coin door and service button
-Missing dust cover on joystick
