I picked this up over the weekend. This was on eBay last week and I struck a deal with the seller. Nice guy who just started collecting a few months ago.
It's in amazingly good shape and all original except for the joystick. It's also remotely possible that the coin box came from another Nintendo Game (typically they these 5-slot cabs come with a white front on the coinbox).
Looks like its first home was in the Time Out Arcade at Crossroads Mall in Roanoke. The guy I bought it from found it by using a Craigslist want add. He says the guy he purchased it from has had it for well over 20 years. After playing it for 10 years or so the monitor went out and they put it in storage where it's been sitting. I can't believe how clean the cab is.
It's a really nice reference for how these would have come from Nintendo. This was one of the early DKs that were converted from Radar Scopes by Nintendo of America. I still need to get it working!
