I am pretty new to arcade repair, but i got some help from a nice dude who said i should rip out all the wire system and setup jamma standard connectors and it can be used for and original donkey kong board.
I am in doubt if i should do so, i pretty much know how to, but what about all the special wire system for nintendo Donkey kong board tgk4.
all tips i really appreciated as i am itching to get going with my playing, played arcades since a kid now i am 33 ;)
I attached 1 pdf with pictures of my cab with wire system for cocktail boards, my plan is it should only be used for donkey kong, hope some of you lovely people can help a bit.
I will upload one more pdf later today.

I am not the best person to answer this, but I know that they do make Jamma to nintendo (edge connector) setups. So doing a jamma wiring will make your cab compatible with a lot of the CAG boards, while allowing you to play Nintendo games with the edge connector. Hopefully someone with more knowledge will chime in.

Second pdf file of whole cab. it is currently setup to play cocktail game "bank robbery" and has Iron horse in it should both work.
The reason i uplod pdf because of number of picture restriction in post, the pdf´s have all the pictures.
and i will defintly change the panel, joysticks and buttons.

Thanks for the info it is good to know i can play more games if needed at one point ;) so i would need that edge connector as one of the components i put it on the list ;) much appreciated thanks

That wiring looks like a disaster. The monitor would also have to be rotated to vertical to play DK, as well as the proper joystick installed. That control panel is at an awkward angle and doesn't look like it has much space for your hands to rest. If you're planning on getting this cab, get something else instead like a Dynamo cabinet. Also, there are indeed JAMMA -> Nintendo adapters. You'll also need this: http://www.mikesarcade.com/cgi-bin/store.pl?sku=NININVAMP (http://www.mikesarcade.com/cgi-bin/store.pl?sku=NININVAMP) to run DK on a non-20EZ monitor like the one in that cabinet.

Thanks a lot for the advice and very usefull info, i allready bought the cab so I have to see if I can make it work with new wire system, here en Denmark the selection of original cabs are very small but I do have the option to get a panel custommade and then get new wires for joystick and panel. so I guess the panel will be donkey panel inspired so the hand can rest decent. I really appreciate the link it is awesome I will also need a new bracket for the minotor. again thanks for the tips and advice
