WTB: Donkey Kong BLUE Button
« on: January 02, 2008, 06:54:33 pm »
I'm missing a blue button on my DK....it's the midnight blue one. Does anyone have some old DK blue buttons for sale? (Not the royal blue one sold by Mike's arcade, those aren't the original color.) If you own a Nintendo Cab...you prolly know what I'm referring to. These buttons are a very very dark blue.

Yes thanks for asking. I ordered a new one from ArcadeShop....worked like a charm, all fixed. Now I am waiting on a cap kit from Bob Roberts.

How's your DK Jr. resto coming along?

Good to hear.  LMK how it goes, mine did not go so well...

Getting there.  Was way busy during the holiday season so I did not have much time with it.  I did get the DK cocktail running  :woot

I am having a strange video inversion problem (See Link as I don't want to hijack this thread  :)   http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=74778.msg777617#msg777617)

If you can't locate one, Ebay may be your best bet, look for old control panels.  Expensive way to go. 

I have been looking for a manufacturer that would do the darker buttons for us at a reasonable price. When we had the price quoted on the darker custom color, it put the buttons right out of our price range. :-(

Best,

I will have to look and see what I have laying around at home. I purchased an old beat to hell DKJR control panel awhile back wonder if I still have the buttons in my garage.
Nei
