Donkey Kong Midway Cabinet

[digitalarcade]

Some very dusty pics of the cabinet - the flash of the camera has picked up every dust particle!!. The photos do not do the cab justice.

2-player controls all wired and working. The control panel is detatchable.

To do:

1) Second control panel with Trackball and buttons
2) Get the coin door to work
3) Clean up the cab

...all by Friday

Very cool, dig the chrome Tmolding.

Cabinet finished.

I did detachable controls in the end which worked out real well. Playing Star Wars on the trackball with the lights dimmed low was truly a nostalgic moment.

Hmm, Donkey Kong is vertical though.  No joy controls on either end?  I think the great advantage of Cocktail cabs (and one reason I ALMOST wish I had done one) is you can have the standard controls on either end, and then rig a 3rd like yours on the side, enabling basically all orientations of games.  Where to put a trackball/spinner may be an issue, but I suppose if you forego 2-player flipping, you could make one end have joy, the other trackball/spinner, and then both on the side. 

Looks very nice though.

Made to order - this is what the chap wanted
