These baby's must be resurrecting, the original DK red cab I just found last week had been sitting in a basement for 15 years.

Others would know better than I do but probably needs audio and video cap kits. Do the Vertical and/or Horizontal hold pots do anything to help the screen?

Nothing helped, I tried adjusting all the knobs, even the 2 on the pcb.

Two Red DKs!  Nice going guys!  The serial #s are both in the 10k range.  Does anyone know if Nintendo started the serial #s over when they went from TKG2 to TKG3.  I have a blue TKG3 that is in the 3000-4000 range (it's in storage or I'd have the exact #).  What's the lowest TKG4 serial number you guys have seen?  in the words of Allen Staal "OMG ... lit ... tears"

Continuing this from the welcome to DKF thread, since this seems a more appropriate place.

Very nice red, cab!  Yours is better than the one I just picked up a couple weeks ago.  You have what appears to be the original CPO, bezel and marquee (no C Nintendo of America 1981 on yours).  Mine has original marquee, but bezel and CPO are replaced.

The only thing that stand out as odd is the red ball top on the joystick.  Weren't all original ball tops black?

If you look at the back of your bezel, is it a white outline, with tinted film creating the tint?

What version game board is running in your red cab?  Please send pics of that, if you would, and also of the serial/part number metal nameplate.

Maybe this would be better to take to a separate thread, since it's a bit outside of the scope of "welcome to DK Forums".  ;)  I would love to jump in on a thread, with comparisons of red cabs among the members of DKF.

:edit: Just zoomed in on your picture of the back of the cab.  You've got an original TKG2 converted Radar Scope board set.  <gasp>  Does the title screen say C Nintendo 1981 or C Nintendo of America 1981 ('C' being the copyright symbol)?  Oh yea, you don't know cuz the monitor ain't working.  In addition to V and H hold, there are three brightness controls, one at the flyback, one on the chassis, and one on the remote board.  You may need to mess with those to get a good image, too.

What do you guys think my red cab is valued at? Looks great, non working. Thanks
