well i was complaining about the market being dry and not finding anything, then recently i got a few sweet additions to the arcade so i quit complaining...
today i got another game locally, a few exits up the freeway... i got enough deals recently that i kind of overpaid on this, but i've been sorely missing a nintendo game in the arcade...
i'm also used to buying broken games, so its nice to get one that works for once (even after the boards fell out in transport)
so a craigslist ad for a garage sale mentioned arcade games, i called and he had phoenix, this DK Jr., and a multi for-home with 12 games... i just got a phoenix so that was out, but i had been wanting a DK or DK Jr (or Popeye) to get Nintendo represented in the arcade again (i used to have a DK Jr cocktail) (oh and i have no desire for the cardboard multi midway cab with williams games on it)
he started at 350, i felt like i was high at 250 but we settled on 300... i was already there and i'm trying to fill out the arcade so what the heck
cabinet is pretty beat up though, edges are all chewed up.. i didn't capture the sides in the pics but under the cpo you can see, and one side is really bad like that... and no sideart (looks like a horizontal monitor was mounted through the sides, 3 holes... but not anymore) credit button under the cp, cpo is burned and faded, bezel and marquee are scratched but fine, coin door is hacked... someday i'll fix it up but for now its playable
monitor looks good, but grows/shrinks with brightness changes so a cap kit is probably in order
