Hey guys, In order to keep my wife happy and create some much needed space in my house, i am selling my Donkey Kong cabinet.  This is an empty/non functional cabinet.  I had planned on restoring it cosmetically and setting it up with mame.  the cabinet is in decent shape, but it needs some work.  there are a few places where the laminate is chipped, it needs new tmolding.  the side art has been removed.  the coin door is intact and modified slightly with switches behind the reject buttons.  it has a DK bezel in decent shape, it has a DK Jr control panel, and DK3 marquee.  there were no buttons in the panel when i got it, but there was about half of a nintendo joystick that you can have if you want it. I have the original speaker wired up to a hacked set of logitech PC speakers, and there is a 19" PC monitor you can have if you want it.





i will be keeping the PC, buttons and joystick that i installed.  I'd like to get $50 out of it, since that is what i paid for it.  I think that is a pretty reasonable price for what it is. to sweeten the deal, i have a NOS wico 4way leaf stick that you can have if you want it as well. (i got it new in the box from the guy i got the cabinet from, i installed it and used it for about a week, and took it out...it is in great shape) due to the size of this thing, shipping it anywhere is out of the question, so if you want it you can come get it.  I'll help you take it out of my house and load it into your vehicle.  I will probably have to put it on craigslist or something if nobody is interested, but i'd like to see it go to a good home where someone can appreciate it.   if you are interested, reply to this thread or send me a PM...  

here is my project announcement thread that has a lot more pictures

like i said, it needs some work, but would make a great starting point for a DK restore project.  As much as i'd love to restore this and get it back to it's original glory, i really dont have the space for it, and i'll gain major bonus points from my wife if i can get this thing out of here.  I hope someone here can use this.
