Title: Wanted: DK/DKJr/Popeye style coin drawer
Post by: Tarantulas on July 23, 2014, 10:18:35 am
I've been looking for a bit, and can't seem to find anyone selling a DK/DKJr/Popeye style coin drawer.

I've seen plans to build them, but I'd really like an original... but I'd settle for a nicely done reproduction.

So... anyone got one they'd like to sell?

Thanks!

I know several people on the forums here have the cabinets. But im not sure any of them have the coin box. Imo though id just find a small plastic bucket and put it in its place all it does is hold the coins.

I reproduced one earlier this year for my DK and I have a DK Jr that i'm restoring right now that has the original drawer.  I can send you a pic later of the one i reproduced and see how you like it and I could maybe help you out by making you one.  I'm at work right now though so I can follow up with you later today if that's ok?

Here's the pics of the coin box I made when restoring my Donkey Kong side by side with an original coin box.  It turned out pretty well.  Since then I acquired a DK Jr cabinet that had the original coin box, so I could make one that is even closer to the original now.  Let me know if you want any help making one.

I want one too. Mine didn't come with one either. Begs the question, why were so many pulled out and lost?

I am actually looking for the coin door assembly, I have the coin door for my DK Jr. just missing the assembly or enclosure that it goes into!
