+Yurkie Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 (edited) Posting this here as I know there are alot of us awaiting Opcode's DKA release, and DK has such a big connection with the ColecoVision. Anyway I got lucky and got fully working Donkey Kong Arcade machine for $260 delivered to my house. I had to adjust the monitor after having it on a couple hours and I rebuilt the joystick. There is a little cosmetic damage especially the t-molding on the left side and no side art, but overall it is pretty decent. It is sitting beside my Gorf machine in the pic.

InfraMan Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Aaaaaargh, you have a Gorf! That's one of the few arcade cabinets on my want list, along with Wizard of Wor, Star Wars, and Dragon's Lair. So jealous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retroillucid Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 No he got a real good deal, that is a way cheap price especially with shipping. Ok, I see I was getting tired to not find one at a good price, so I decided I would build one I'll also do my Fix it Felix cab at the same time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Yurkie Posted August 17, 2014 Author Share Posted August 17, 2014 Not shipped, delivered. The owner lived about 4 miles from me. Advantage of living in a decent size city. Him and a buddy put it in a pick-up truck and they had a dolly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+pboland Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Awesome find Yurkie! How many machines do you have total? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradd1978 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 That is a screaming deal :-) A cabinet I'd love to own but may end up buying a Donkey Kong PCB board and building my own :-) Agree with retroillucid, to buy that here in Canada, the price would be outrageous! Great find Yurkie :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+pboland Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Just Gorf and Donkey Kong. Those are two great cabs to have. Do you plan on getting more? I only ask because having space becomes a premium really quickly when collecting arcades. I have seven and I would love to get more but I'm out of space.

That just means you are going to have to rotate the stock. One goes out another comes in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelboy Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 That just means you are going to have to rotate the stock. One goes out another comes in. Dan, think about what you're asking him to do: You want him to choose one of his seven cabinets and remove it from his house in order to bring in a new one. No one can make that choice without his brain oozing out his ears! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one can make that choice without his brain oozing out his ears! Maybe just move it to a deserving home like mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Yurkie Posted August 29, 2014 Author Share Posted August 29, 2014 Well polished some scratches out of the bezel, recapped monitor, repaired the loose base, replaced the t-molding and added a new coin sticker on the face and by coin slots. I have a some minor sound issues. Makes jumping noise but not the sound for going over a barrel(s). And collecting a prize in the rivets stage is missing. I have parts on the way. If I correct the sound issues the only thing remaining will be side art since there is was none on it when I got it. My Mom is always asking for B-Day (12-21) and Christmas gift ideas, so I am leaving buying the side art to her. Here is a pic I took today with my 20" Mario from Gamestop standing watch on top of the cabinet after I put the Coin stickers on. Super high quality repro stickers got it from http://www.thisoldgame.com/products/nintendo-coin-door-decals I highly recommend this site.

+pboland Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 It really looks good Yurkie. You wasted no time whipping this arcade into shape. That big Mario on top just makes the whole package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
