Does any one have any information on how large the caster wheels are on a Donkey Kong cabinet?  Thanks in advance.

Here is a guy restoring a dk cab, pretty good shots of the original wheels.  Ctrl+F find for "wheels" and you can find the pics pretty easy:

Hope this helps.

I assume you are talking full cab and not a cocktail, yes?

Yes sir EvilNuff.  I am about to finish my weecade and I am going on to my next project. 

Thank you Maximus.  I guess I should have gone to someone who has already built one.

Now the big question is do I want to start my FIF cab or do a Atari Star Wars/Star Wars Trilogy Mashup or both and see which one keeps me warm when my wife kicks me out of the house for spending too much time with my 'games.'   :laugh:
