New Addition amid the Storm Havoc: Mario Bros widebody

Well, It's surely been a long weekend of no power and no internet.
On Friday, before the storm hit, I was picking 2 new cabinets up from JBK in Fairmont.
Jeff is a lot of fun to deal with, you never know what he is gonna have and he is very reasonable on price.
I saw his Dragon Spirit cabinet in person, all I could say is Wow! It's in great shape.
As I was making the trip anyway, I transported a pin Jeff had bought.

Really glad I put these inside the van instead of a trailer, the storm would have destroyed them!

The first is a Donkey Kong that had been converted to a "Street Heat" (shell only).
A buddy of mine has been asking for me to find one for a while.... so this worked out very well.
This cabinet is overall in good shape, but it's PARTICLE BOARD!!!
I have never seen a Nintendo cabinet made of particle board, but it's still in good shape, so all is well.
I will take the time to convert this back to a Donkey Kong, but it will use a multicade board.

The second is a favorite of mine, not an uncommon machine, but I've been wanting one for a while.
It's a dedicated Nintendo Mario Bros widebody.
Overall, this one is in really great shape, no hacks, reasonably clean, 20EZ is capped and only minor burn.
It does need sideart, CPO has a few nicks, but will likely just leave that alone, High Score kit will be added!!!
Overall the cabinet is decent, it does have a few battle scars, but not bad enough to justify a restore IMO.
I'll let the pictures do the talking.

If anyone has pictures of the base on one of these, post them!! I would like to redo the base on this.

Can't wait to play it, no power till who knows when.....

Nice pick up!! With that Mario I'd replace the sideart,clean it in and out and leave it alone. PM Phet on those base pics ,I'm sure he has a few. All of mine got erased.
