I stumbled across this on Craigslist: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/pts/3444770362.html
What's a good price? Any thoughts on these Namco cabinets?

That is a dedicated cab, I believe. I have one. It is a great game. Fun to play and just plain looks cool in the game room. I paid $1200 for mine earlier this year. It had just over 3K on the coin meter, and looks almost brand new. It was in an arcade near Tampa that bombed soon after opening. If you want it bad enough, jump on it. They don't show up that often.
How does it play? I've heard the joysticks are tighter than original Nintendo.
Purists HATE the joysticks on this machine.
I think they work really well, though.
It has been decades since I played a standard DK game, so the joystick on the 2005 model does not bother me one bit. I read somewhere that you can change it out for a standard joystick, although I am unsure of what work is entailed with doing so. I am good with it as is.
Will a standard Nintendo control panel fit in the cabinet? That might make things easier.

I hated the stick on the Namco. It was like a Ms Pac Man stick in a jar of peanut butter. I also thought the 25" CRT was too big. It just felt wrong.
Not exactly a ringing endorsement.![]()
