It's alive!
It took me a month and a half to get this far and I think it looks amazing. It was my single monitor PlayChoice 10. I sold my game collection and then I sold the guts. I wanted to turn it back to the original Donkey Kong it was. Well, as best as I could. This is the game before...
This is where the game is at now...
I removed the side art and cleaned the cab from top to bottom. I got an original DK harness for it (I have a Dokert super harness but decided to go all original for the time being. I left the horizontal mounting brackets in place. This is because I have full kits for Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Junior, Mario Bros., and Popeye and I wanted to be able to use this cab for any of them. That is also why I didn't install side art. This way, no matter the game everything will match.
I still need the proper buttons for the control panel. I need to install new T-molding and I have the Coin sticker. I also have coin return catches for the coin mechs to put on. I also need to buy plugs for the holes that were left where the gun holster was mounted. I think it looks great. I should have taken more pictures, but I didn't this time. Everything inside is all original and all in very clean organized condition. This is one of my last major projects and the finishing touches will probably be done when my brother-in-law comes to visit.
