 So another arcade project from Jumblejunkie that I wanted to share with you dudes here. I was on a hunt for a gutted/rundown Nintendo cab to house this project where I found a local guy that gave me one for free!!

I have no real attachment to DK Jr like I do with DK and DK3 (where I want to own the dedicated cabs), so it was the obvious move since I love the look of them and DKjr for the Atari 2600 was my first game I've ever owned!

YES Nintendo cabs do fit in Scions!

Marquee light and T-molding installed. We have light!!

I utilized the existing monitor bracket holes to mount the CRT monitor in place

I moved the PCB, powersupply, and harness over. She works!

All complete! Time to get my Kong on!

 This is awesome, I'd like to do something like this when I'm out of school. I'm guessing you've seen King of Kong? Maybe you could pull a Steve Weibe and top the new record!
PS that dog is adorable

 Somehow I misread the tread topic title and thought you were somehow converting a Donkey Kong Junior cabinet into a cabinet for DonkeyKong Junior Math.

The sad and scary part is, how that happened is that my brain literally skimmed over the "60in1" part, and literally read it as "math" just because it had numbers in it.

Nonetheless, a great project. At this point I'm too worried of getting zapped or starting a fire to delve into anything of that complexity, though I know its not risky at all if you know what you're doing and take the proper safety precautions.

 thanks guys. King of Kong really sparked my interest in owning arcade games myself. Once I bought a house, I went ape sh*t! Its a really fun hobby! Sometimes I feel like I have more fun with the project then playing ;)

@SuperTrainStation - The only thing that can really shock you is the monitor and some live wires. Ive been bit pretty good once!
