Title: $50 empty Ninetendo Cabinets NY Post by: yks104 on July 08, 2014, 03:06:09 am These aren't mine, saw them on Craigslist. Not a bad deal if anyone is looking for a project, maybe a DK? Might grab one myself but it's probably a little beyond my ability!

For the Nintendo cab, I plan to definitely do a restore. Haven't decided on whether to do Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr. or maybe even a Fix It Felix replica. I'm leaning more towards the Donkey Kong Jr only because I like the orange color over the light blue. Actually, I'd prefer Mario Bros but I'm not sure if there are "normal" body parts for that (I thought they were only "wide" body). I don't have a CP yet so it may be possible to make it Mario Bros with 2 players. I may go the MAME route TEMPORARILY until I can save enough for a genuine board/ parts, etc. It's tough because there's NOTHING in the cab at the moment, which means it will get expensive. Anyone know if they make Multi-Nintendo boards out there? I think there's a DK/DK Jr/Mario Bros board that was in a 25" cabinet. That would be awesome if I stumbled across that. My buddy has the DKII kit for his Donkey Kong, but I'd want a DK Jr in there too. Arcade SD is an option with only Nintendo Games enabled too. Hmmm. As for the Centipede, I will probably work on that first, since I have most of the parts. I am working on rebuilding the trackball at the moment. Easy stuff. The monitor and boards are a different story... D |
