  • I make Repro DK Control Panels
I am restoring a Donkey Kong and like many others my Control Panel was trashed. So seeing that no members were making these anymore and having a CNC machine I decided to make my own.

I drew it up in SolidWorks based on the original.  Holes were verified with a NOS overlay.

Made from the appropriate sized plywood. Laminated on the top. All holes and routed areas reproduced faithfully. T-Molding groove in the front.

This is the final result :










And here's what it looks like with brand new Repro parts on it. (Not included , just for representation purposes)









And how it looks on my not yet restored Donkey Kong  :D



I am selling these for $45 shipped in the USA. That is for a bare Donkey Kong Control Panel, laminated with holes and grooves cut. Each additional control panel is $40 if shipped together.


Please let me know if this is something anyone would be interested in.

Thanks
Jonathan, A.K.A. Hailrazer

You do. That's where the networking occurs. I'll vouch for you if you need me to.

Hi Jonathan,

I know this thread is several months old but I wanted to know if you were still selling the reproduction DK control panel? If so, I would definitely like to purchase one. Please let me know.

Thanks!

These look great.

I'm building a repoduction machine (in UK). Does anyone know why the original control panels have the 1 inch cut out along the top at the back and the other cutout ?

I can't figure out why they'd be needed. Maybe for wires?

Thanks in advance for any help.
