Awesome work so far Scr33n!
About the bezel retainer, you can see how it is originally mounted on this picture:

This guy at www.donkeykongrestore.blogspot.com is restoring a DK cab, doing a good job and taking lots of pics!
Which comes in handy for replica builders.

Good luck and I follow your progress with great interest.

This is looking like a nintendo cab !  8)

my guess is that you are going to mame it ?

are you also putting the D2K roms in, or just keep it original ?
