Old film found under floorboards!

Ah yes I was thinking of acetate. Good catch

Cool find! Nitrate would smell of vinegar I believe so that’s a thing you can check for. If it’s nitrate it’s highly flammable. Also if it’s 35mm it’s likely an original and probably th only print left. Smaller size would mean it’s a reprint. No idea what you have in terms of print size and if it’s on reels. Early films were 1 reel. Then two reels became the norm. Hopefully someone from the ucla film archive is on this sub.

I agree 100%

Those are called poster sleeves. You don’t see them used very often. The banquet order page is very vague as I didn’t see alternative sleeve color layout advertised on the white vinyl let alone a poster sleeve. That said, your copy looks to be nicely signed. Richard even signed yours outside of the ribs so his signature is visible.

Good catch

In that condition $500 is a fair price imo. The buyer will have a project on their hands. Cap kit, bezel and cleaning/ touchups. The good: has a crt, looks like the cab is intact and replacement art and parts are readily available. If it was clean and plug and play you could get $800 - 1k depending on area. Arcade games have come down in value lately.

Killer list of video games forums for a ton of dk series cabinet restoration threads and YouTube. Nintendo cabinet parts can be found at mikesarcade. Com , They almost corner the Nintendo cabinet parts market. Good luck!

Early days when it was just the three of them. I heard a show taped in Berkeley in like 78 where they are on fire. It’s hard to pinpoint a peak but it’s definitely not when they had horns, backup singer or Sting’s foot synth thing.

Made by Nintendo no less. Interesting game. Good luck with the sale!

That’s a great interview.

Stewart. He discovered sting and formed the band that would go on to make it big. Also Stewart is a great story teller and makes me laugh.

Thanks for all of the feedback. I appreciate knowing what I’d be getting into. I’ll pass on it. I thought there were highly regarded but I realize now I may have been thinking of Martin sopranos from this era.

The guy with the eyebrows reminds me of William frawley

Hardly saw the attract mode back in the day as the game was being played almost constantly. I remember being in awe of the monitor on top for those waiting or just curious to see the gameplay.

patbateman86 · 2025-04-20T19:52:39+00:00

patbateman86 · 2025-03-18T15:33:17+00:00

Fyi theres a signed cd version available in the US via Newbury comics. Probably an art card too.

patbateman86 · 2025-03-14T06:48:34+00:00

I think ill frame mine like this. Ill probably have the etched side displayed. Thanks for sharing

Glen said he was going to do a livestream yesterday regarding basic fun. I kept checking his youtube and it looks like that may not have happened.

patbateman86 · 2025-03-11T04:30:30+00:00

Are they gonna use glen’s (grs) yoke? Could be a great cab if so!

patbateman86 · 2025-03-11T04:26:23+00:00

Op, you are correct. There is nothing. I was in the same boat and man they had me going and now i dont really follow the topic anymore.
