Seems to be 100% original. Not a freaking scratch on it. I paid $500 is that a good price?
In the second photo you can see the difference from brand new trim on my vs smbs, and the original "yellowed" dk trim. Also the insert coin sticker is slightly faded.
no monitor burn in.
I don't think its been restored but just well preserved.

Serial Number is 164971, counter reads 13256, not to bad.

T-molding looks too nice to be 100 percent original.

t molding has some slight darkening from being old. i belive it is 100% original its not impossible is it?

monitor has no burn in either, its a fine dk specimen.

If it is indeed original, that's a heck of a deal and rare to be in that condition considering how popular the game was back in the day.

HUO possibly? Any back story from the seller? Serial number?

Awesome score!
 
the person i got it from told me it was a arcade owners personal game for home(never commercialy used) and then he sold it to the person i got it from in 2001 for $950.
after closing my jaw i agreed to pay the money and safely loaded it up.
 
Take a look at the counter on the inside of the coin door and see how many are on the clicker! Take a pic if it's low. :) Nice find either way.
 
Congrats on the nice Dk & price, either way if it's been restored still worth it.
 
Ya I have spent over $500 restoring mine and I am even using cheap repro graphics. Would have been nice to save some coin and had one done already instead of the hours and hours it has taken me to this point. I know I will never be able to sell it for what I have in it.
 
Yeah post more pictures man! Inside and out. Good score (even if it IS restored).

nice find and price, however that thing is not 100% original. unless it was in a box for the last 30 yrs.
