So I'm looking for a cabinet to restore... where is it???
« on: August 12, 2008, 04:06:57 pm »
Off and on for the past year or so I've been looking for a Donkey Kong to restore and I just can't seem to find one.  I've really only been checking eBay and craigslist and it seems like there is never anything there.  Do you guys have recommendations on where to look and who to call to see if they have any old ones laying around?  I'd probably also settle for a Galaga since that is also on my dream list but I'd really like a DK...   :cheers:

If you look through the restoration threads it looks like everyone else bought them up in the last year... so many DKs and so little of everything else.

Im in the same boat. Ive been watching ebay and graigslist for about a year for one near enough. I had a really good lead on but, but the guy fell of the face of the earth a couple months ago...
