Title: What would john do.
Post by: STEVESPEEZE on February 26, 2014, 06:01:29 pm
Ok I have two cabs....... well I picked up a donkey kong last week in a blue cab for starters.
I already have a red radar scope cab in way better condition though. I know its a radar scope because the guy I got it from
confirmed that,, and john has the marquee that went to it.

SHOULD I take all the parts from the blue cab and put them in the red radar scope cab?
or just leave it in the blue cab.

That cab is not the original red. Are you sure??? It's been painted or vinyl'd. Look on the sides and insides to see if there are any clues of blue.

No it's not. It has a texture to it. It's not the normal finish.

yes its formica lol...
formica DK's have a texture.  its plywood under formica with a colored layer (hence the texture) 
Your buddy in NY has a cab just like this.  Bill.. stripped it and put dk parts from the dk in his garage. you have the marquee and believe it or not
he has the bezel.  but no cp.
