What's correct? My original DK junior has a type different than all 4 pictured above.View attachment 706719
…I seriously don't know why this bugs me, (me of all people, Read: Purple DK). But every time I see a "Restored" Nintendo cab with those shiny, crap, non-Asahi Seiko roll down mechs it just triggers me a tiny bit. lol
Anyone else have a constant pet peeve like this?
That reminds me, I need to fix this on my Nintendos. I restored mine before the better repros were made.Preach on!. It's especially bad because the correct mechs are fully available.
Incorrect buttons also drive me crazy because of all the trouble put into doing correct repros.
I'm also getting to the point where I won't consider a painted Nintendo cab.![]()
The top left ones are coin controls clones of the asahi mechs (or clones of the clones). They were common replacements back in the day and were even found on games like Sega/Gremlin Head On. I made the choice to use them on my Head On N because of that. I've seen them on several of my Nintendo cabinets when I got them and if they weren't in abysmal shape I would have kept them.

Yeah and they make both in that pic. They are rather inexpensive compared to the Asahi ones. I was just pointing out that coin controls also made them. I used these for my Head On N project. That said, all my original Nintendo cabs are Asahi mechs. I just wish the new faceplates for the 740 were available. I could have sworn that Asahi no longer made specifically the 730 and 740 found on Nintendo cabs. I was under the assumption that whatever Mike had left on his site was it for new ones.


Thats a lot of words more than "I'm sorry, I'll try to do better." LOLThe top left ones are….
Hey now… I think we all can agree that some of us can do amazing things with a rattle can.…I'm also getting to the point where I won't consider a painted Nintendo cab.![]()
The cocktail ones with the flap don't count. …wait, what?What's correct? My original DK junior has a type different than all 4 pictured above.
You can remedy the issue by mailing me some new Asahi mechs. I'd be more than happy to throw a set of really nice Asahi mechs. Otherwise I think the ones I threw on there look nice enough.@SNESNESCUBE64 not gonna your build thread and a recent Facebook sale thread of a "Fully" restored DKjr cab is what finally set me off to make that meme.![]()

That's 100% false. We eat them.I have it on good authority that most Nintendo collectors have a stash of old used mechs.
