DK 3 to Donkey Kong conversion/resto *FINISHED*
IG-88:
Your the bomb man, thank you very much!
ZORK2:
Can someone with a DK do me a favor?
I need the measurements for the location to place the .25$ sticker just below the control panel??
I also need the location of the instuctional decal that goes on the wood just below the bezel. I know it goes on the left hand side somewhere?? Just not sure how far over.....
ZORK2:
ARG!! The stupid monitor has been KILLING ME!! I about took a sledge hammer to the whole thing! :) I scoured the thing again and again, after about the 10th time, I noticed the biggest chip on the board had a very slight crack in it. But have gotten damaged in my caping process!?!
:dunno
I THOUGHT I was very gently with it. Just looking at the board that IC 401 seems to sit just about where the flex point is? So any way after a LOT of looking I finally asked Bob Roberts if he had a spare on and old board. TG HE DID!! So, one is on the way!! FYI anyone looking for IC 401 on a Sanyo EZV LA1464, check with Bob.....
Here is the coin door, DONE!! It was the second most labor insensive thing on the entire game!! I think it turned out GREAT! After about 6 bondo/sanding sessions, I was satisfied, primered it, then painted it with a hammered finish, then topped it off with a satin finish.....
To all those who thought it not possible!!!! Here ya go......
;D
Mauzy:
That coin door looks fantastic! That was the worst job that had to be done on mine. I painted and then restripped my coin door three or four times before I was satisfied. The cabinet was finished and put in the row for two or three weeks before the coin door was finished.
ZORK2:
THANKS! ;D
I got in a bit of a hurry today on part of it. Had to do some resanding. I think it turned out nice though. Heck, someone took a hammer to it! The whole middle was caved in, you can see it in my earlier pics. It took a lot of bondo and a lot of time, but it turned out nice. I spent a couple hours today throwing Quarters through the mechanisms getting them to work right. I was happy, one worked, then I tried to get the other one to match, it took a lot of tweeking, but I finally got it.
Mauzy sorry, I've been busy last week w the holiday, I'll get that DK3 plate out to you this week. It has a nasty scar on it, but I think it gives it character! I have a couple other gems I'll send with it too...... :cheers:
a tag on my coin door that says DK6887
