Mauzy's DK3 restoration. *Staying DK3, now with coin door*

<< < (5/8) > >>

RayB:
According to the subject line, you're not keeping this a DK3?? Why not?

Mauzy:
It's a Donkey Kong cabinet. TKG-UP according to the docs on the back door. I like DK3, so I'm keeping the guts in case I stumble upon another Nintendo cabinet or wire up a board switch, but I've always been a fan of the original DK.

I haven't started buying DK parts yet though, so it may end up staying a DK3 for a while. I'm not buying any art until I have a functional board.

RetroACTIVE:
My plywood DK control panel is 19/32" without the overlay.

Bondo came out great!  Did you add any "structure" to the missing material...or did it work well without?

Thanks. On the coin door hole I did, but after the results I've seen from this I don't believe it was necessary:



For the corner, I put together a box out of plexi-glass:

Looks good, those dowels certainly don't hurt ;)
