Hi, I hope I can get some advice from all you experts on here, from what I have read so far it is an invaluable resource for Arcade enthusiasts!
I am interested in purchasing a Donkey Kong Jr machine I have found locally. It is on sale for $250.
There are just 2 issues I have seen so far with it:
There is no side art (not a big deal obviously)
There is an issue with the screen/video - The picture appears to be too narrow. It only takes up about half the horizontal space. The guy said it needed something resoldering on the board (I dont know how knowledgeable he really is on that though). I am thinking if not maybe a cap kit?
It also has some dings and scratches and needs new moulding etc, as most do.
So my question is, is it worth $250?
I plan on either restoring it to original donkey kong, or donkey jr, with possibilty of a double donkey kong board.
Time is of the essence with rare beauties like these so I feel I should snap it up....but I also don't want to pay far too much.
What do you think??
Oh and I will try and get some pictures of it today if that might help.
Thanks!!
