It is actually really easy to change the monitor angle in most cabinets, just need a little wood and some screws.

Looks like the upper bezel/lower marquee bracket is there but the monitor should be tilted much further back & the bezel plastic should be almost vertical, not like it is in your pic.

Was wondering the same after got home. It was not obvious from looking at the out side.

Here's a list/picture of every Nintendo cabinet. Odds are it's DK, Popeye, or DK Junior: http://www.ukvac.com/forum/nintendo-video-arcade-machine-reference-19781985_topic352997.html

Based on that list and the fact mine has two coin mecks this cab was it's probably on of the following:


* Donkey Kong Junior
* PoPeye
* Mario Bros
* Donkey Kong 3

So you narrowed it down to every game that used that cab that wasn't ultra rare.  ;D


Check for a plate like Malenko mentioned. Also if the monitor angle is off, it was probably rotated. Meaning that it wasn't a mario bros or a popeye. You can get a good guess by checking out the original mounting holes. I would guess a blue original DK.

I agree with this, but I would give DK Jr. more play-ability credit than regular DK or DK3.

Ugh. Jr is my least favorite one. 3 is worlds better.
