Well, i decided to start working on some cocktails, and this is what i dragged in. I still have 3 more that i havent brought here, but they are in a different building than where these were and i didnt feel like digging them out. Its kinda neet having a DK, DKJR, and DK3 all working next to each other. I have one of each of the uprights, but never had the family of cocktails together. I have some tweaking to do, but already have 2 DK's, 2 DKJR's and a DK3 all working, now to clean and finesse them

there is 7 total right here, 3 DK, 3 DKJR, and 1 DK3

ps. This is where my tested dk and dk3 boards came from, i tested them in the cocktails
 
I can't wait to see those working...be sure to post when they're looking nice again! Thats a fair amount of them as well, were they very costly?
 
cocktails

Very kool collection there !! I only have an asteroids cocktail which isnt working and needs a new pcb board. Sweet collection!!
 
Wow ! All you need is a Popeye and you got the whole collection ! I really wanted a DK cocktail for a long time but I rarely see them around . I think the DK Jr with the black top is the best looking Nintendo cocktail .
 
These are just ones that i brought home from the warehouse, they will all be for sale as i have no intention of keeping any of them. My preference would be the dkjr if i were to keep one. the larger monitor, plus you could DDK it. So if i were to keep one it would be Jr, but all of these are going up for sale soon as i can get them finished, unless someone is wanting a project
 
Gotta respect a guy that gets these games out of a warehouse, brings them back to life and gets them out the door to fellow collectors. Nice job, those are cool by the way.

someone should do a mario cocktail, even if it's one sided playing. be cool to see.

my popeye ct (which has a dk style power supply) has had mario bros in it with no problem. I reversed the wires for player2 left and right and it worked great. it wasn't bad being player2 upside down.

then there is these pics from a japanese arcade museum

Wow!! That's cool. I have never seen one of those. How many were built like that?
 
Bah....the nintendo cocktails are ugly...the real gems are in the background of this picture, the pinball machines! :) Looks like a Cirqus Voltaire, Lord of the Rings, and Flinstones perhaps?
 
well, 3 are done already, hopefully have pics and list on ebay within a week. Kinda neat having a working, DK, DKJR, and DK3 all side by side in cocktails. Ive got all three upright next to each other already, but never thought i would have all three cocktails working together

It looks like only one cabinet is going to be scrapped. Of the other 5 that i have sitting here, 1 is scrap, and all i have left on the other 2 DK's and 2 DKJR's is to rebuild the monitor and get a board for one of the DK's, which i just traded someone a 2 board for a 4 board so once i get that board they all should be done.

Ive rebuilt many sanyo 20ez's, which to me are about the biggest pain in the ass because of the time to remove the chassis from the frame. But now i realized that the cocktails are far worse, its alot more work to pull the cocktail chassis, but i managed to get all 3 pulled and rebuilt today to finish the trio, so it can be done

Theres bound to be someone here who knows or can fix those boards....check ebay...theres probably a 100 dollar repair service.
