Donkey Kong/DK Jr control panel...are they the same?
« on: April 30, 2010, 07:20:31 pm »
hey guys, i'm about to get back into my DK project, hopefully in the next few days here.  My DK cabinet currently has a DK Jr control panel on it.  I plan on replacing this with a DK control panel, so this brought me to my question...are the button layouts exactly the same on a DK panel as they are on a DK Jr panel?  I plan on just purchasing the printed plexi overlay for the control panel and mount it to the existing wood panel that i have...will this work?  from the pics i have seen online, they look the same, but if someone could verify that, that would be awesome.  I'd rather not have to recreate that part if I dont have to.

I'm pretty sure they're the same
I don't think nintendo wanted to recreate the part either

The wood is the same on both panels.
