Hi Scrr33n,

Good to see you recieved you sideart!
I just recieved mine (well, still at the postoffice because i wasn't home at delivery).

Two pieces of Donkey Kong sideart, USD 54.00.
Shipped to the Netherlands, add USD 35.00.
--------------------------------------------- +
= USD 90.00 (62 EURO)

+ Package handling Netherlands (not customs) 23 EURO.
85 EURO is expensive for two stickers :(

Huh ? Why did you have to pay the extra 23 if it wasn't customs ?

Said about Quarterarcade not doing the favor. There are plenty others who will do it all the time...

Not sure yet where that extra 23 EURO comes from.
I find it expensive enough already :)

Will have to wait and see when I can pick it up on monday. :(

@joeks:
does that mean you got an original Donkey Kong or are you building a replica?

it´s been quite a while sience i had to pay toll, and i think it´s the same as yours. But in order to pay the toll fee here, i have to pay 150 DKK (21€ handeling fee) and toll on the postage!!!! - which is added to the bill.. :(

don't those additional fees simply SUCK? i still don't understand why i have to pay customs' fees on old arcade parts which are not available here in Europe PLUS on the shipping fees  ???
all i need is ... PONG - and a select few others: TOUCH ME, DRAGON'S LAIR, JOUST, ROBOTRON, MR DO, SAN FRANCISCO RUSH THE ROCK!!!

@gyruss
I am building a replica. More about the project here www.donkeykongarcade.blogspot.com

@muerto and supperully
Yeah I hate those extra costs in addition to already high shipping costs :(.
And what really painfull, original Nintendo cabinets can be found pretty easy in the USA for 200-300 dollars.

i think i'll go for those white german nintendo donkey kong cabinets from now on. those pop up from time to time, i could have a nice dk row with dk, dk2, dk3 and dk jr. and each cab could be painted in its respective colour if you don't like to have all of them in white. don't know if those american control panels would fit on the german cabinets though ...
i'll steal scr33n's other thread for that question ;D
all i need is ... PONG - and a select few others: TOUCH ME, DRAGON'S LAIR, JOUST, ROBOTRON, MR DO, SAN FRANCISCO RUSH THE ROCK!!!

Oppssss ...  :oops:

Bruno, 86.3 cm with legs leveler or only wood?

If the measure is without leveler legs this is a very high cab  ??? ??? :shock:

Ok I have all the necessary measures so I can start planning .....

with the help of sidearts I got the right curves:



and the right angle of the control panel, glass and all wood panels  :arrow:





the final plan:  :-* :-*
