I refinished the other top!

As I said before, I have 2 Donkey Kong cocktail machines, took all of the good parts and restored one of them into an original Donkey Kong and then repainted the other and converted it to MAME.  The first top that I refinished was done in the original colors and style, now I have refinished the second top with black laminate and blue trim.  I have replaced both joysticks with Happ Controls 4-ways (replacements for the 20 reunion Ms Pacman machine).  I still need to repaint the legs and the control panels.  I'm trying to decide if I should create new panels to replace the original Donkey Kong ones.  They are scratched up a bit and I wouldn't mind having a second button to play some of my favorite games.  Anyway, here are some pictures.
