I recently picked up another Nintendo cab and I am still deciding what to do with it.
My initial plan was to restore it, vinyl it red, and slap a DK3 kit in it. I'm not sure of the availability of one of these though. I'll be needing the marquee, bezel, CP, and PCB.
I know I can probably search around and find these items individually but it would be nice to find them all together. I won't be needing it for a month or so, I'm just wondering if anyone out there has one they'd be willing to sell by then. I am also considering turning it into a Radarscope so if anyone has the aforementioned components for a Radarscope PM me on that as well.
Thanks,
Greg
 
To be fair, a person has to realize that over time new members join which brings new opportunities. So with that being said about a year ago when I did the exact same thing you're trying to do now it was horrible trying to locate a decent bezel. The PCB, CP and Marquees are a dime a dozen but for what ever reason the bezel is non existant. It's the reason if you search the web for pics of DK3 most of them have a JR or regular DK bezel. The sideart is avaiable through Arcadeoverlays. The wiring is another issue. If you are unable to find dedicated DK3 wiring the closest thing I've found is to hack a Popeye harness.
 
I might well have a complete DK3 Kit, from Harness, PCB, Artwork, bezel and all that, not sure what its worth, but will take offers on it
 
I did the vinyl kit on mine Greg and it really looks nice. Deadly, how is the Arcadeoverlays DK3 art? Is it the right size?

I used NOS on mine. If anyone were considering buying from Arcadeoverlays, I'd ask Todd for the default measurements of the artwork he carries and then we can compare it here..

I had asked him one time about the color - he said he didn't have a NOS piece to compare it to and couldn't honestly answer me. Again yet another reason why I'll continue to do business with him.

No offense but I wouldn't offer you a dime until I saw pictures. Phet and I have both bought items site unseen that didn't end well.
Unfortunately peoples ideas of what "good" is can vary a great deal.
 
yeah no worries, wouldnt expect you too :) once I get sorted and know what I am doing with it, then ill take pictures, at present Im still playing the game
 
Phet,
I'm diggin that red vinyl, looks good man. I almost 100% sure I will be doing the red on this cab.

Mick,
I also sent you a PM.

Deadly,

I have NOS (not repro) side art. But you don't need that. Bummer.

I'm almost positive I have the DK3 bezel too.

I do have a tested working DK3 PCB.

I have a DK3 marquee.

If interested, email and we can work out some deal.
