Lead NICE working 1982 Nintendo DONKEY KONG JR arcade
Description
Now this is a NICE Donkey Kong Jr. I actually did my best to "restore" it. First, it is fully working running on all original hardware. I rebuilt the monitor myself (an original Sanyo EZ20). I rebuilt the audio amplifier myself. I installed a new LED light fixture to replace the japanese one with unobtainable bulbs and starters. I replaced the buttons with new ones and cleaned and lubed the original Nintendo joystick and it feels like new. Then, cabinet-wise, I replaced the T-molding with new. I also installed new sideart and front art. The CPO, marquee and bezel are all 100% original an in excellent condition. The coin door has a new lock and quarter coin mechs, and original coin box. So this game is about as nice as I can make a game. It's working 100% with a perfect picture on the monitor. The controls work and feel great. And cosmetically, it looks about as good as it can. This is (obviously) the sequel to the infinitely popular Donkey Kong original game. And most gamers will tell you that jr is just as good a game as the original. I agree with that. They are on par with each other. Truly a must-have for any classic arcade. Please note: Sometimes in the pictures above (and even sometimes in the video), the monitor looks like it isn't displaying correctly. However, that is only because the shutter speed is too fast on my phone camera. So it captures the picture while the monitor is drawing the screen and looks like half the screen is missing. Usually this is not as bad in videos, so watch the video included above and you should be able to see that the monitor has a great picture (although sometimes it looks funny even in videos). You are just going to have to trust me that, unless I specifically mention it above, the picture is good on this monitor in real life.

Description
This is the Fifth Arcade Game Auction from our overflow warehouse in lovely downtown Atlanta, IL. NO BUYERS' PREMIUMS! NO HIDDEN FEES! After collecting (hoarding) games since about 1987, we have amassed a large and unique collection of thousands of classic games. This collection has given birth to Arcadia, Pinball Paradise, and the Route 66 Arcade Museum in central IL. Despite ambitious future expansion plans, we still have more games than we need (and not enough time) so we have decided to make them available to the public for the first time. Many collectors have seen our legendary warehouses and wondered when this stuff would be made available for sale. Some may have even pondered the idea of our inevitable death and the following estate sale. Well, the wait is over. We are going to start letting them go, even while we are still alive! We can't take 'em with us! The majority of these games are "as found" from our countless warehouse raids over the last 35 years. While some are in rough condition, there will be a lot of rare titles that haven't been seen at an auction in decades. Some are fully working. Some are repairable and/or restorable. Some are only good for parts. ALL are honestly photoed, described, and videoed so that bidders can see everything possible to make a good bidding decision. These items have come from a wide variety of sources so look at each game you are interested in carefully with fresh eyes. Just because one game is a water damaged junker doesn't mean the next one is.
All items are sold as-is, where is. Must be paid for in full before removed from the building. Buyers can arrange a pickup time anytime before December 30th. We will gladly help load. Anything not picked up by December 30th will be considered abandoned and be re-sold at the next arcade auction. Sales tax of 7.75% collected on anything picked up or shipped to addresses in IL, unless a tax-exempt certificate is provided (yes, they raised our sales tax rate by 1% on July 1st, 2023). There will be no handling fee for pickups or shipping large freight items as long as you make all arrangements and all we have to do is meet the shipper for pickup. We will not palletize items, so we recommend North American Van Lines for shipping. NAVL Shipping quotes can be obtained us or by you by emailing coinop@beltmann.com and giving them a description of the item, the pickup zip code (61723) and your delivery zip code. We get no better pricing than you do, so get quotes yourself, or feel free to ask us to get quotes if you prefer. You can also call NAVL at 800-959-8880. You can email us at vintagevideogames.com@gmail.com. We will be happy to arrange shipping of games and other large items for you, but for a $10 handling fee (our time is precious). Regarding parts and other non-game items: some extremely difficult-to-package items may have a higher handling fee, and this will be disclosed in the description of that item. If there is no handling fee mentioned in the description, it will be the default $10. For this fee, shipping of UPS-able items will be well packaged and shipped for you via UPS, USPS, or FedEx, whichever is cheapest. Shipping charges for these items must be prepaid by you. If the item is a large freight item, we will make all arrangements for you for this $10 handling fee. You will be responsible for actual shipping charges in addition to the handling fee. Shipping charges for freight items will be C.O.D. (If NAVL allows. I had a few cases recently where they told me they no longer allowed COD and in those cases, shipping charges will need to be prepaid).
Your bid must adhere to the bid increment schedule.
