This scratch build is entering its final stage.Yesterday i spraypainted the three metal bars. The ones that hold the marquee and the bezel.
Today i mounted them and installed all the artwork and stickers.
Only things left to do:
- Install computer running AdvanceMAME (i think)
- Building new backdoor since the previous one is a little off. (not up to my current standard :) )
- Hoping to score a original Nintendo coin door and install that.
Short list! :)
Almost there. It took me one and a half year (with pauses) but now it's finally coming together.

Awesome work! Why not finish it off with an original DK board rather than a PC?
Thanks Chris! Well, actually I WAS checking eBay yesterday for a DK board :)
Not sure yet, pretty expensive.
Cheapest I could find was 140 dollars excl. shipping.
Nice job, I am hiring a woodworker local to build me my cabs, what is a fair price to pay him for cutting and assembly for the DK cab?
Well done! As long as you keep the CP as is and throw in a MAME setup to run it you could always make a different CP to snap on for playing different games and then slap the original CP back on and put a DK board in later if you intend to sell.
Any more pictures? Can't really tell but is this a scaled rebuild or a restored original?
Do you happen to have any pictures of the back door you built? What type of wood did you use? And do you have measurements?
Sorry for all the questions. I just bought a Donkey Kong Junior and it came without a back door.
Thanks,
Paul
I know this blog is quite old, but I'm working on a Nintendo style cab (widebody) for my project and was wondering what you did for the lower part of the marquee retainer? It seems to be two "L" shaped pieces of metal that are stuck together. I am unsure as to how you did it as I do not want to opt for original marquee retainer as they are quite pricey and I'm trying to make this 2nd cab as cheap as possible.
Hi Andrew,
The marquee retainer is an original Nintendo one (or repro), from www.Mikesarcade.com.
The bezel retainer is a homemade solution, bought an aluminium bracket/profile at home depot that had a slot on one side in which fits the bezel.
Thanks!
Great thanks I'll have to check that out.
