I’ve been working on this for the past couple months. I always liked the style of Nintendo cocktail cabs but hated the ugly brown color. VT gave me a gutted DK cocktail a few years back and never got around to working on it due to a divorce, moving around, and life in general. I took a couple of quick pics and have them posted here:

I prefer the DK jr. colors plus it matches the orange theme in my current place. Let me know what you guys think. I’ll post more pics and hopefully a clip of it fired up around the weekend.

I never understood those older cocktail cabinet control panels. It looks uncomfortable when your sitting but i never tried one so i dont know.

Anyways looks fantastic none the less

Sorry guys for not getting footage. My weekend did not go as planned. My stepson got hurt in soccer and ended up needing surgery. I’ll try to get some footage once life returns to normal.
