My Fix It Felix Project

[Slydsho]

Holy crap, that IS an awesome find! Best road kill ever! Is it an empty cab or does it still have any equipment? And considering the appearance, I guess now you've got something you can compare measurements to. XD It looks fairly Nintendo-shaped.

it is a true nintendo cab that has been repainted, it is unfortunately missing all electronics with the exception of a lcd timer? im guessing because it was a playchoice 10.... a timer maybe? the timer is complete and unharmed, has a pin-out for a connector but other than that. just the cabinet and the 2 Nintendo licence tags on the back.

Hell of a find!
And great job so far on your cab.
I will be watching this build.

That is a stroke of luck. Plus coin door! Those are very hard to find, I've been trying to source one or anything similar for my own Felix build. I can find mechs that are very similar easy enough but the door, not so much.

So what's your plan with the Playchoice 10, fix that up too?

...and might as well try, if you're selling I'd buy the door

im planning to make it a Red DK cabinet.

Ahh cool. Did you end up buying the DK at the beginning of this thread too or no? Cause if so you're building up quite the connection.

actually i passed on the original DK, i don't know why, because i regret not buying it. either way, its only the beginning. im so pumped up about these cabs, i want to build several more for DKJ, Popeye, Mario, etc. i guess i'll be on these forums for years to come.

decided that i was going to get new plexi for the DK cabinet restore so i used the plexi from the nintendo cab on my fifj cab, fits perfectly!
since i took this photo, i've already built the base for the cab to sit on, tomorrow i should have the wheels on and the slots cut for the t-molding.

first coat of Oil based Primer.
On another note, started getting parts for the pc that will go in this, just waiting on the motherboard to show up and we can get her running.

[Slydsho]

she's not totally a clone, but its my very first build, i just want to share that........ I FINISHED THE CABINET!!!!
i got all the electronics programmed and prepared for installation, got late tonight so i will tackle it another day, i just hope Sjaak updated the game with my serial..
