Title: Donkey Kong Jr Restore... opinions on CPO, buttons, and stickers
Post by: Tarantulas on June 13, 2014, 02:10:39 pm
My DK Jr restore project is going to require purchasing a new CPO, instruction sticker, and whatever the proper name is for the sicker below the bezel.

Opinions on a best source would be most appreciated.

Also, what are the colors of the buttons?  Best source for those as well?

Thanks again for all your help!

I've used Mike's arcade for these things before on a donkey kong and about to buy some stuff from there for my own dk jr.

I have the same question about the buttons. I currently have 2 blue buttons for the 1 player/2 player and a yellow one for the jump button.  But I'm not sure if that yellow is original or not.

I also used Mike's Arcade, that was on my DK restoration.
Granted it wasn't a dkjr, but I would always use their Nintendo cabinet items because it's all real high quality stuff,
I was very happy with all of the repros.
Sadly, many of their items have been discontinued, but the artwork is still available.

The start buttons are blue, and the jump button is orange, all available from Mike's Arcade also if that helps.

Instruction sticker get at thisoldgame.com along with the insert coins stickers.

Quarter Arcade and Mike's Arcade for everything else. Arcadeshop too. Any of those will be good choices.

John, I was curious why you prefer the thisoldgame for the stickers over Mike's Arcade.  I've only seen the Mike's Arcade ones for dk and I also need to get those for my dk jr restore.  So before I buy I'd like to know what the differences are that you know about.  Thanks.

Rich went out of his way to fix all the bad stickers out there. They are good. I'd order from him.

Mike's also has t-molding, but it all appears to be for centered groove cabs (even though he says some is specifically for particle board cabs).

I thought all particle board cabinets had offset groove for t-molding?

I have a particle board Jr and it isn't off center.

You can get the off center from audiomidiman on KLOV. Chopping quarters is his web site I believe.
