DONKEY KONG RED CAB - Scratch Built Replica

[Superully]

@level42: andré, if you only need the basic stuff (black etc.) i could get this for you. i have a store close to the school i work at that's carrying d-c-fix, but they don't have the whole product range (e.g. black leather style is missing). don't know about the prices of the online store and the shipping costs (to the netherlands?), but if you need help, let me know, ok?

I use this new marquee repro:

and monitor with bezel (I still have to cut it right):



 

It's all for today .....

Next: Sidearts

Sorry to keep bugging you about it, but does that D-C-Fix stuff have a certain color or part number ?

Sorry no part number  , the color is black not smooth, embossed (I do not know how to call it  )

I found some on-line stores that sell D-C-Fix here but can't seem to find the right color/design.

You're right, I checked on the site, but I've not found it ....  Maybe it's out of production?

Here's what I've done   

Sorry Bruno, just a curiosity, where did you find these measures?

I found on the net that sidearts have to be centered  (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=70324.80)

but the original does not seem centered .....

Well, I don't remember exactly. I remember few posts and few pictures over the web... but there were so different versions, so I got the most used

Perfect, thank you 

[level42]

Thanks Ully and Scr33n.....I'll contact a couple of suppliers here. Shipping will probably be killing the price I fear.

Perfect, thank you 

i bet the original cabinet makers didnt much bother being accurate in placing the sticker,  so the variety of measurements may be all 'correct' if you understand me

ok fixed very well:



the first one, it's always a thrilling moment :



done  :

Electric parts (what a mess  ) ok, ok it's only a fast test  :

I can almost smell how a brand new cab smells like

Just wondering, will you be installing one of these ?


I'm not really sure if those were used on all DK uprights....some seem to have them, some don't.....
