Probably gone either by the time I write this or by the time you read it, but an interesting piece and an awesome deal if it's an original red (even if it isn't - board alone is worth $150).
Looks like the "Nintendo of America" copyright on the CPO. Shot of the bezel not quite good enough to tell for sure.
Some KLOVer out there needs to go get this if it hasn't been gotten yet. This is a great restoration thread waiting to happen.
In fact, I'll just leave the ad here for posterity.

Donkey Kong Arcade Video Game -Red Cabinet - $150 (Cobb County)
Date: 2012-06-01, 1:22PM EDT
For sale is the rarer red cabinet version of classic Donkey Kong Arcade Game. The game plays well but will need some restoration to bring it back to its glory days. It has a working game board and the monitor works but needs a cap kit. Previous owner adjusted the picture narrow to minimize the distortion in the picture, but the colors are still bright. The game is missing its marquee. Please refer to pictures for more details. This game restored would be the highlight of an arcade collection or a nice addition to a pinball machine room. The game will be sold to the first person with $150, not the first person to respond to the ad. Thanks for looking.
