Red donkey kong for sale

Well first off, I though the Red DK had a single slot coin door, although that may have just been the first runs....

Also, the coin mechs with the arm were DKJR or Popeye.....there was just a thread recently that someone posted the manual from DK and it had the push button type coin mechs

my DK was blue and is now painted red and I have a coin door from a Popeye on it.....looks just like this one, however at least I have real Nintendo joystick and buttons on mine ;)...if this sells for $1800, I would list mine in a sec...haha
 
Looks like they've updated the boardset too. "Nintendo of America" = TKG4. TKG4 = blue cab.

Gorgeous machine though. I've seen much worse for much more!

Remember, this really isn't for "us." You're paying for the professional refurbishing and to know you're not gonna have problems. That's easily worth $1,800 for some people.
 
it is pretty

just sayin...it is pretty

but i would rather have several cabinets to build for projects. this is for the rich man with no time for these arcade hobbies. ;-)
 
That is indeed exactly who it's for.

This really isn't so bad, for Ebay.

A few highlights from the very entertaining current listings:

Literallly nothing original in here. Not a single scrap of this machine. And they want over $1K!

$795 for a machine with random bolts on the speaker grill piece, EMPTY security bar bolt-holes, and the piece-de-resistance: a warped DK Jr. CPO.

Just to put the first post in this thread into perspective: 2 grand for a red with a TKG-4 boardset, a freeplay kit, and a new power supply. Red paint job? Probably!

This one is pretty much an Ebay resident. I've been looking at it for months. Here we have a "showroom quality" piece with BLACK t-molding (puke), and a dim, graying monitor (with no blackout cardboard, on the tube itself or the top-drape). Check out that sweet mounting bar! And thanks for the motion-blurred pictures, Mr. Photographer. This is really the presentation that your $1,900 asking price deserves. "No bottom feeders for this level of machine. Only top end collectors need apply for our restored line of games." Uh huh.

And my favorite:

Only $800 and this piece of shit is yours! A multicade (games not specified) inside of a gutted DK(?) cabinet with some new hodgepodge of JAMMA crap wiring with a... get ready for this... vertically-mounted LCD! Also with no blackout cardboard - you can see the goddamn power LED! (Please do yourself the favor of deep, hearty laughter and look at the pictures.)

These people seriously have no shame.
