Not sure if I'd have both a DK and a DK2. Maybe if I end up getting a DK cab that's not in great shape, I'll restore it as a DK2 cab and have that as my only DK. And if I end up getting a nice condition DK then I'd have to later get another cab to convert to DK2. It would be kinda cool to have DK and DK2 side by side. ;D

I thought that too.. I have a DK on it's back in my garage in the beginnings of a restore.  Probably going to sell it cause of space issues.  Besides I can play both DK and DK2 in the DK2 cab... so it suits my space requrements.

This is one freaking sweet restore/project. !

Thanks for all the compliments!

I've decided to paint the coin door.  If I don't like it I can always have it blasted and powder coated another day.  I have a local powder coating shop so it's no biggie.

I also am going to use fishpaper for the paper flap to be attached to the bezel and cab top.  It's tougher than poster paper and I will be able to paint it well.

I've cleaned up painted and put new mechs in the coin door

Here is the face of it... Sorry about the lighting... I really have crappy lighting in my basement and the flash really kills the pic..



I purchased brand new coin mechs... (expensive... but they look great)



Here is a pic of the front with the coin mechs installed



Inside



Wiring is next...

Very nice. Those mechs look awesome. :)
