Restore of a nice Donkey Kong - COMPLETE

[Maximus]

Yeah it's looking that way, which is good as we did it through testing, and bad as the entire planet seems to be sold out of them

Found one at ArcadeShop, ordered it today so lets keep our fingers crossed. Thanks for everyone's help on this, it's been quite frustrating but I guess very educational.

That's good.

Before you fit it you might like to check the regulator is working. Load up the power supply +B with a 60w
Bulb like I said earlier across C472

Set the B+ voltage to the correct value, then recheck once the new lopt is fitted

Just in case

OK will do that

Finally some good news. New flyback installed and the screen looks fantastic, no blown fuses


Also no crashes so far since cleaning and reseating all the roms

Good to see projects are progressing to the finished stage.

Well I think we can call this one complete.


Thanks to everyone who participated in this thread and build its always easier when you have people coming along on the journey

So, when you deliver it, I may not be there.  I'll leave the key under the mat at the basement door.  Just put it next to the Blue Pill.

Thanks,
AJ

Very Nice!  Now hurry up and clear out that garage, I need to see some VPin progress!

Awesome job!  Definitely a piece to be proudly displayed and enjoyed.

Yet another great project from your hands 

Really love to see the effort, devotion and craftsmanship you put in your projects!

[Maximus]

Thanks guys, the restoration process was a new set of skills to learn. I have to say I really do hate trying to make old wood like new again lol, but the up side is that everything already fits perfectly in place so there's none of those design headaches to deal with like a scratch build.

Sure thing bro, just leave the $2,000 under the mat too.

Yep, Paperboy is nearly done, art arrives today but I may have to get it reprinted, depends on the colors, Scott says Paperboy's skin color is 'very pink' so I may have to have it redone. Otherwise it's just T-Molding and some tiny touchup. Next is Barrel of Kong, I have everything I need I just have to put it all together.
