No, it's not serial #2, but it's my second Donkey Kong cabaret - yes, I already own one 
To be fair, my current unit doesn't actually have or play Donkey Kong any longer. It was picked up already converted to Konami Classic standard, and hacked up considerably. As such, I popped my Frogger PCB in and played that in there (since I already own a Donkey Kong upright!) I started making adapters, and am now playing BurgerTime in it. The plan was (and still is) to make it original again, and I have nearly every bit to make that happen. *AHEM* Still looking for an original Nintendo joystick mounting plate - Mike's will not suffice...
But now this little monkey comes into my life (again - notice a pattern with me and Kong?) and looks like I'll be tackling it's issues first, since it shouldn't take too much to get it back into playable condition.
The monitor has about an inch of foldover (easy peasy), and the PCB is showing the classic blockiness of moving characters. Hopefully nice, easy ROM corruption. Of course, as a hoarder of all things Kong, I have plenty of boards to drop in it's place if need be. The previous owner cracked the plexiglass on the monitor, probably in a fit of frusteration, so it will need to be replaced with a new cut piece (PING : Phetishboy
) And yes, that is a fullsize marquee that someone cut down and riveted (ACK!) to the front... fun. It needs t-molding on the CP at the very least, and as much as I want original-style; flat, hard, brown t-molding, I doubt such a thing is available.
Anyways, pics or blahblahblah
