Donkey Kong cocktail control panels ?!
« on: January 29, 2006, 11:03:40 pm »
Hi, I just got outbid on a pair of original DONKEY KONG cocktail control panels on EBAY.  I thought for sure 150.00 would do the trick, but some dude with a ZERO rating, outbid me.  Do any of you out there have these panels ?  It's the ugly brown machine.  Or, does anyone know where to find generic panels that would fit this cabinet ?  Looking to make this into a multicade cocktail unit.  Thanks for your time, email me at markymarky99@msn.com if you can help.

You may prefer to build your own panels anyway.  Most people find the original panels on those machines to be tremendously uncomfortable.  The joystick sticks almost straight out into your gut, and there's nothing to rest your hands/wrists on.

I had one when I was 13, and it didn't bother me then, but when I was 13, I wouldn't have stopped playing even if it were covered in broken glass.
