I'm not sure how Nintendo managed stuff from the factory, but I have a matching #'s Galaga 88 and my monitor has HORIZONTAL screen burn.  <confused> So a new, from factory game from Namco had a used screen but still had matching numbers.  <confused>

That might be the earliest known DK cab still around.  Chris Gleed?

I believe it is.  <gasp>

Typical value is around $800 - $1200*, depending on condition, how much originality is there (original vs. repro parts) finding the right buyer, etc.

the windmill, please post pics, inside and out, as many as possible, and we can help with the valuation....and just cuz we want to see this cab #29 off the production line. :)

If you don't have a way to upload and post images, klovimg.com is great.  Free, easy, no ads, hosted by a KLOV member, and once you've uploaded the pics, you copy the links and paste them here.

:edit: here's the most recent version of the tracker posted in the KLOV thread.  It's about 5 pages back from the current last page of the thread, and is significantly more expanded than the older version, posted earlier here in the DKF thread.  I went through the last 6 pages of the KLOV thread, and no red TKG2 cabs were provided after the uploaded of this version of the serial tracker with a serial number lower than #10029.   I do believe this #10029 cab the windmill has found is the earliest production number known.

:edit edit: *That is "complete package" value.  If parts are missing, non-original, etc, the value will be less.  Things like the TKG-2 board sets are extremely hard to come by and if the cab has no game board then it's basically the "complete package" value minus the game board value.

Did you buy it off the OP?

Looks pretty clean overall.  Folks at KLOV would probably be interested in seeing it, and having it added to the "official" serial number tracking list, if you would be interested in posting the details there.

Yeah. I bought a Popeye off of him a while back and the DK was there next to it. I mentioned that it was an early version and pretty rare and then made an offer. He balked while he could do more research which cost me a little more. I showed my hand and got to excited when I saw it. Runs flawlessly and is in pretty good shape. No repairs neeeed other than a marquee bulb. I registered on KLOV but they want $2 before I can post. Don't mind the $2, but can't find where to do it at. The forum is pretty dated and clunky.

It's only telling me $1 is necessary.

It says $2 on the screen that pops up when you want to post and get denied. I found the link and donated a dollar last night. I'll see if it worked when I get home this evening.

Wow, I've never heard of that, and I know I didn't have to pay when I registered, although it was over 10 years ago.

Mike's Arcade has the replacement bulbs, which you may already know.

Well the $1 donation worked and I submitted my serial number. I ordered a couple of bulbs and a starter from Mikes on Sunday. I had got some parts from Mikes for my Popeye. Thank you for the heads up though. I've found that most of the people I've interacted with in the classic arcade circles have been very cordial and helpful. Thank you!!!
