I had to post this as soon as I got pictures.

I was out on Saturday looking for deals at the local pawn shops and thrift stores. I came across this Donkey Kong Cocktail machine at a Salvation Army near my house. The guy told me it didn't work and the power cord was cut. He offered it to me for $25.00!!

I took it home, wired up the power cord and turned it on. It worked great! the picture looks great with no noticable burn-in.

I cleaned it up a bit and added the picture inserts and instructions.

The only problem is with the sound. Some sounds are missing and It messes up and loops sometimes. If anyone knows how to fix the sound I would greatly appreciate the help. :)
 
haha! you got ripped off!


by ripped off, I mean that's one of the better finds I've seen on here :)
 
That's an excellent find. I personally wouldn't want a Donkey Kong arcade machine, but the sheer cheap-ass and gamer/collector value is huge.
 
seriosly.. i hate you though. I go to my local pawn shops/thrift steos, and the best deal i will find is like a pair of socks for a dollar.

They did have some good socks and used underwear, but I passed on those in favor of the Donkey Kong ;)
