Hey Guys!

So I'm doing some restoration work on my cabinet and had a couple of questions.

First off, I need a new lock for the coin door. Does anyone know where I can find a lock that fits my coin door?

Also, I had to adjust my monitor quite a bit to get the game to show the entire field of play. It is far narrower than many other DK screens I have seen. Would a cap kit fix this issue? My screen seems very squished, but if I widen it at all it gets cut off especially on the right side.

Thanks for all your help!

You can pick up locks at places like twisted .com or even at a place like Home Depot or Lowes.  It would probably be a good idea to cap the monitor.  I'm no expert on monitors though so someone else will probably chime in.  Ian Kellog on here does a fantastic job with the cap kits he sells plus he has other parts for the monitor.  You can find all the common parts he sells for that monitor here.

Thanks for weighing in! I did find a lock that worked very well at home depot. 7/8" was the size that I needed and it fit like a glove! I'm playing in the Open next week, so I'm going to wait until after that to cap my monitor, but I am going to order the kit from Ian. Thanks again!
