No thank you. I've got mine looking all purty-like.

You know... I normally am not a fan of micros... and as most games were leafs... but there is something about the Nintendo feel... the stick and buttons are really "plinky"... they have a nice sort of kick to them that no other micro really has... For my DK2 I actually was able to get some NOS switches and I replaced all of them and I really like it.

I bought some - they're nice and clean. Go with him.
SirPeale:
I was working on the door to my Galaxian today when I ran across the Donkey Kong door lying in a corner. Figured I might as well work on that as well. Stripped the remainder of the old paint with a 3" wire wheel. Still need to work on the corners and a few stubborn pieces of paint, but it's all but stripped now.
