Picked up a needed extra Ninty cabinet from my buddy Brian. Thanks, man!

What should I do with it?

Is it a Dr. Mario? My wife would love that. I am encouraging her to break the world record.

Is it a SMB? My kids would LOVE this.

Is it a DK? I already have a minty blue one. And, honestly, I like the blue DKs better. Red seems odd.

That cabinet has an odd shine to it. Almost like a deep high gloss finish. Maybe base coat clear coat? Judging by it's condition it's hard to think that it was painted. I guess now that I think about it it's not that odd.

It seems that someone repainted it or touched it up at some point. It's definitely an original red cab, but someone touched it up. But, you can't see any paint strokes or any signs that it was repainted other than the red bolts. It does seem as shiny as typical original Nintendo cabs are. It's not too far off from the man in the corner:

I 2nd the placing of DK3 into that cabinet.
DK3 definitely deserves a red cab.

If you can't do the right thing, then maybe I should come take your Dk3 kit and that red cabinet off your hands so that I can do the right thing.

The choice is yours.

I'm sorry, I don't think Red is the right color for the DK3. The only cabinet that is right with red is radarcope. The rest are all conversions.

Seems like you answered your own question then... make another Radarscope (yeah I know, easier said than done), or swap the cabinet for a blue one and throw the SMB in there making it as God (and Shigeru Miyamoto) intended :D.

Didn't someone make a Dr.Mario and paint the cab green? You could always do that :eek:
 
I didn't say I didn't want it. And, honestly, this thing needs to be completely repainted and bondo'd anyways. So, it means nothing that it is red now cause it needs to be completely redone anyways.
 
Wouldn't a stand up VS be something you'd be interested in? I think you only have the cocktail. A Super Mario Vs or Dr Mario vs I think would be ideal in your situation. Too bad the custom bezels aren't available any more.

Yeah, I am thinking I'll do a SMB and Dr. Mario with one of Mark's switchers. I think I am going to make a custom multi-game marquee and bezel too. Could be really cool.
