a nice Donkey Kong 3 kit, the pcb is in perfect condition, the marquee is good, the control panel look like brand new, and the bezel as just a little scratch ...

the mission: transform my VS SUPER MARIO bros in dk3...

i bought the vs s.mario from somebody in miami, the cab was paint by the previous owner in whyte   :(

this is an original sanyo monitor, the sound amp is build on the monitor frame, and as failed few months ago.
i put a brand new sound amp build with a video inverter in case one day the monitor fail too.
