Title: Donkey Kong Scratch Build [Finished]
Post by: blastercast on June 08, 2013, 09:26:07 pm
Hello, I am a new member but I have been reading for a while!
I recently completed my long time project for building a Donkey Kong MAME cabinet from scratch! It took a while but it is now completed,
This is how it looks in the corner of my room:

The entire process is on my blog here: http://bennysarcade.blogspot.co.uk/ (http://bennysarcade.blogspot.co.uk/)

I am posting to hopefully hear what you guys think of the project and how it turns out, I put a lot of time into this and with some help off my Father who is good with Saws we managed to hand make everything but the perspex (we tried but it kicked up so many chippings we gave up)

Thank you for looking :)

-Benny

Thank you!
I looked for a coin door for a while but couldn't find one, thank you for that, I shall shortly contact the seller about shipping to the UK
I might not be able to afford it for a while though, my next build is being started for a retro arcade café opening near me
