I picked up a KLAX mini in a trade about a month back. I do love KLAX but I realized I really wanted a Mario Bros mini and this would be the perfect cab to create it in since Nintendo never created their own. I'll post a few pics here of the progress but everything else can be seen at: http://s38.photobucket.com/albums/e107/bongoben/Mario Bros Mini/
Here is the KLAX cab when I received it. It wasn't in horrible shape but the overlay and bezel would have needed to be replaced at a bare minimum even if I kept the game as KLAX.
The first thing I did was design custom overlay art and bezel art. Game on Graphix printed this for me and it turned out fantastic. I didn't want to hack up the control panel at all so I had to work with the button locations where they were for KLAX. For each player, the left button is the Start button and the right is Jump... not ideal but it works and looks good. I also installed black t-moulding, new bolts on the control panel and red-ball 4-way joysticks.
