Got a DK and DK Jr. off CL yesterday.Two different sellers,but they lived about a mile and a half from each other.The Jr. looks pretty good overall.The guy I got it from lived in a nice neighborhood and took pretty good care of it.The worst part of the Junior is that some genius wrote some sort of out of order message on the bezel in magic marker.(As seen in the second pic.)Any suggestions on products that will remove it?
On the other hand the guy I got the DK from lived in an absolute shithole and the DK was in a shed (if you could have called it that) that was literally on the verge of collapsing.The guy even said he was waiting for it to do so at any time.So I basically rescued this poor neglected DK from certain death.
Was just crazy that they lived so close and yet very different environments.
It was an adventure.I almost threw both of them out of my truck and I wasn't even taking a turn but just going down the highway.Had the wheelwell not been there,they would have most certainly met a highway demise.Still not exactly sure as to why they almost eighty-sixed although I have my theories.But whatever,I got them home and can't wait to start restoring these!
I have a lot more pictures of the games in an album on my profile,but I'll post a few here.The Jr shouldn't be too much work to get looking spectacular.The DK on the other hand.....is gonna take a while.I will be making this into a red DK. And I'll also need to find a back to this game as the seller said he didn't have it.
