it's true click the DK+ link in javeryh's sig. That machine looks amazing

mr_doles:
FYI - Posted two pictures of this thing.

Yeah I was just saying that they usually come on the glass and was using that one as an example.


--- Quote from: javeryh on February 28, 2010, 11:14:24 am ---As for the bezel, I'd just buy a new one from Mike's Arcade.  It is expensive but if you are planning to have this cab long-term then an extra $40 or whatever isn't going to matter in a few years (it does add up though!).

I think that I am going to slowly get parts to restore it to a donkey kong.  Going to MAME it for the short term though.

Believe you me I read that restore last night and that is what made me decide to go that route.


Is there any way to tell what is was originally?  There are two Nintendo plates (see pic) on the back one has a model # of DJR1-UP-US and serial # of 14779.  The other is model # MGS-UP-US and serial #25382 PAK.  I think that DJR1-UP-US is Donkey Kong JR, but I don't know what the other is for.

mr_doles:
OK so this is what I got so far:
This is a Nintendo cab and it was originally orange and has a 7-slot speaker grill.
Currently a Mortal Kombat II board with Mortal Kombat artwork.
Monitor has Pac-Man burn in
There are 2 Nintendo Plates:
1 stamped Nintendo CO., Ltd Model DJR1-UP-US
1 stamped Nintendo of America Inc Model MGS-UP-US
From what I am reading DJR1 is Donkey Kong Jr. and MGS is a V/S conversion.

Monitor is Electrohome Electronics Model# 19" Col Gam Mtr Product # 38-G07904-KM Chasis# G07CB0 with a RCA sticker.
The back door artwork says DJR1-UP 2 P.C Boards Type.  It also has dip switches for number of Juniors, again leading me towards DK JR.
Not sure if this is important but there are 5 bolts on the sides of the cab, 3 going up at an angle and 2 close together in the back.  The 2 in the back for when the monitor was vertical and the 3 diagonal the switch to horizontal.

D_Harris:
From what you are saying that was originally a "Donkey Kong Junior" that was then converted, who knows how many times.

What's the height of the cabinet?(They were smaller than the Donkey Kong cabs).

That said. I have a DK cabinet with all the parts needed to restore it. But honestly, I'd rather have a tempered glass monitor cover as opposed to the original Plexi-Glass which was prone to scratches.
