Level42:
The mech on my machine is missing the return holder.
I like the one pictured on the mech picture better.
WunderCade:
Yes....sometimes original isn't always better.

On a different note.....that Seiko mech is ALMOST an exact replacement. The original Nintendo DK and DK Jr. had a different coin return holder that looked more like a protruding ear, not the one pictured in the Seiko mech below. Other than that little factoid, it looks exactly right.
This is the original style coin return holder that goes under the return button:
A little difference that most probably won't care about.....but just the same....

Either style coin holder is original because Nintendo used whatever asahiseiko had in stock to meet production needs. That is why you will see DK'S with either style coin holders. Videogameparts.com has the closed style holders,here is link http://www.videogameparts.com/category.sc?categoryId=30

So, I thought: Great, Nintendo used metric sized hardware, now I can get it "around the corner". Well, don't you believe it. The lockbolts that are used on the CP are M4 (that is 4 mm.). I've looked on-line, I've called several hardware stores NO-ONE has lock bolts below M5 ! :banghead: :banghead:
I didn't even dare to ask about the M3 blind bolts that are needed for the coin door.
The thing is, the one's that are still there look fine still, but there are just not enough of either of them. The joysticks each only have 2 bolts etc.
Guess this will mean ordering them in the US which feels insane for metric sized stuff :banghead: :banghead:
WunderCade:
Don't feel too bad. My local hardware store doesn't have anything below M4. Thankfully, I needed M4.
