Vanaf mijn mobiel verstuurd Title: Re: NOTHING CAN PREPARE YOU ! Post by: Anunaki on March 08, 2014, 11:53:31 am The great news is that the sideart is well conserved underneath that cover
Mine had one side a little sun faded Title: Re: NOTHING CAN PREPARE YOU ! Post by: arcadefan1985 on March 08, 2014, 11:57:57 am Nice! I'm not a fighting game fan but if I ever put a fighter in my game room thats the one!
Title: Re: NOTHING CAN PREPARE YOU ! Post by: lordkahless214 on March 08, 2014, 05:12:08 pm nice score! I just passed on a MKII cab myself.
It's very attractive in a line up, and a 90's classic. It should look great when all that paint is off it. Title: Re: NOTHING CAN PREPARE YOU ! Post by: lordkahless214 on March 09, 2014, 07:24:15 pm Side art was too far gone to save? where are you buying new decals from?
Title: Re: NOTHING CAN PREPARE YOU ! Post by: STEVESPEEZE on March 09, 2014, 08:16:57 pm Dude if you seen what he painted over the sideart with , yeah i couldn't save it.
just imagine tiny rocks mixed in with hardened plastic and that's what was over the sideart. Um.. im still looking around id like to get the side art plus the CP side art. Title: Re: NOTHING CAN PREPARE YOU !

Um.. im still looking around id like to get the side art plus the CP side art. Well it looks like you have a good solid foundation for new artwork. I Wonder if MKII is available silk screened or just inkjet? I saw that this old game has it in inkjet, at any rate they do top notch stuff. I have seen the paint you are talking about once on a Ms Pacman cab it's that ugly pebbly textured junk right? it's awful stuff. Title: Re: NOTHING CAN PREPARE YOU !

Yeah whatever it was it was blown on with an automotive gun. if you look at one of the vids towards the end you can see the paint on the side. I REALLY wanted a mortal kombat machine.......yeeah. I got one but holy crap. today im gonna focus on getting a working board set and monitor cap rebuild. Title: Re: NOTHING CAN PREPARE YOU !

Oh yeah this shit is still going ........ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VV2LCYlx10E Im waiting on new CP overlay art as we speak. Title: Re: NOTHING CAN PREPARE YOU ! Post by: STEVESPEEZE on March 15, 2014, 02:35:42 pm But then............. The mainboard dies......... motherfucker..
80% of the solder joints were fucked up... it musta shorted . I bought a new pcb off ebay for 150 just in case. My sound board and ram board are ok, its just the mainboard that seems to be in watchdog mode. Id like to get this first pcb fixed .. anybody know a reliable board repair shop that I can send it to so it can simply be checked over and repaired? Title: Re: NOTHING CAN PREPARE YOU ! Post by: lordkahless214 on March 15, 2014, 05:28:00 pm Aw man......It's gonna be one of THOSE projects......
Title: Re: NOTHING CAN PREPARE YOU ! Post by: STEVESPEEZE on March 16, 2014, 02:53:13 am Aw man......It's gonna be one of THOSE projects...... If was any other cabinet it would be... but with this mkII cab restore I don't mind spending the money .. it was one of my favs so its worth it. I should have a spanky nice pcb by Monday and my side art and t molding are on the way . the only other thing I haven't ordered was a marquee cuz I wanna be sure im getting a mint one. Title: Re: NOTHING CAN PREPARE YOU ! Post by: STEVESPEEZE on March 16, 2014, 07:04:04 pm ok so I stripped down the CP today.. any way I look at it im gonna have to have new CP art printed or buy one.
the sides are ok now... looking into MIDWAY sides and mk2 front logos . http://youtu.be/aBJlQ5LAy0E my new board should be here tomorrow..... I found decent priced red T Molding.... Still waiting on sideart.... Gotta recap the monitor still. Title: Re: NOTHING CAN PREPARE YOU ! Post by: STEVESPEEZE on March 17, 2014, 08:35:16 pm So fuck the old board.. it needs to get repaired.
Heres the new board... Im finishing this fucking machine before car show season starts up , I don't care what it cost. http://youtu.be/fA27UAQRG70 "You can't bring me down" suicidal tendencies... Title: Re: NOTHING CAN PREPARE YOU ! Post by: STEVESPEEZE on March 18, 2014, 06:17:21 pm If I wanna use a switcher to put more than one mortal kombat pcb in this thing..
which one should I go with ? Title: Re: NOTHING CAN PREPARE YOU ! Post by: STEVESPEEZE on March 19, 2014, 11:41:09 pm Ok so now I got the rest of my caps for the audioboard... every single cap on the board plus the crystal are replaced with quality new caps.

MK 1 and 2. Reason being is I can buy a dedicated MK 3 and 4 off a buddy of mine cheap so im just gonna do that after so I have three machines. plus nobody helped me build this machine :) Title: Re: NOTHING CAN PREPARE YOU ! Post by: Anunaki on March 20, 2014, 02:48:35 am OK, keep in mind that the kick harnesses aren't the same between MK1 en MK2
You could get a regular Jamma switcher, but you also need to wire both kickharnesses Title: Re: NOTHING CAN PREPARE YOU ! Post by: STEVESPEEZE on March 20, 2014, 04:38:08 pm I already know I wired the cab the other day.
Title: Re: NOTHING CAN PREPARE YOU ! Post by: STEVESPEEZE on March 20, 2014, 04:44:35 pm "You filthy little Hoe"
I took the monitor out today.. while its out I gotta remove the old blitz pcb holder, fix the nicks and sand the cab. then I gotta clean this filthy bastard and re cap it. I already have a cap kit... and I went to cables and connectors to buy anything that's not in the kit that I can change. Every cap gets changed .. not just whats in the kit. Also on a side note I got my buddy making the new control panel as we read this so when I go to put all the new artwork on the machine looks brand new.

Post by: STEVESPEEZE on March 22, 2014, 03:05:10 pm "TEST YOUR MIGHT!"
While im waiting for tattoos to heal, I decide to recap the monitor. a lot of caps lol.. http://youtu.be/J4wlSOzT844 Title: Re: NOTHING CAN PREPARE YOU ! Post by: STEVESPEEZE on March 22, 2014, 05:40:51 pm I hate this hacked ass monitor chassis so much I just bought a rebuilt one.
Title: Re: NOTHING CAN PREPARE YOU! MK2 COMPLETE RESTORE Post by: STEVESPEEZE on March 24, 2014, 04:09:36 pm Ok well since im waiting for a new monitor chassis and my friend is cutting me a nice exact replacement for my CP .
This is a complete restore.. It may not be an Atari machine from 5000 years ago but its an arcade machine none the less. After about 3 coffee's I got my ass in gear and went for a total stripping to one side of the cab. http://youtu.be/ysPB5Pc44wY then I wanted to get rid of every rough edge on the cab... I block sanded the entire side and edges and used body filler to get rid of any nics or dings. http://youtu.be/Kp0Mu8MVNMI Words of wisdom. Use a mask when sanding bondo.. I caught cancer from doing autobody for 16 years 90% of the time I used a mask and you are still at risk. That shit goes in your lungs and does not desolve. I figured id mention that as ive not seen it mentioned in any cab restore bondo job (even the dude in TNT vids) http://youtu.be/SKTLG8Kc6lo Its flat.. and the edges are straight. Ill do the other side in a few days but you got the idea. If I was to be painting the sides and adding partial art (mortal kombat covers entire side with art) I would have used pro fill. Profill is a very light , thin bondo.. its expensive I might add. but it would have made the side completely smooth. Title: Re: NOTHING CAN PREPARE YOU! MK2 COMPLETE RESTORE Post by: STEVESPEEZE on March 25, 2014, 12:09:18 pm While im waiting on parts.. peep this. http://youtu.be/PWGUAxX79Jw Title: Re: NOTHING CAN PREPARE YOU! MK2 COMPLETE RESTORE Post by: STEVESPEEZE on March 26, 2014, 02:08:47 pm Welp...
The control panel is finished. http://youtu.be/Vwm6lhyhVv4 Title: Re: NOTHING CAN PREPARE YOU! MK2 COMPLETE RESTORE Post by: STEVESPEEZE on March 27, 2014, 04:43:41 pm ok now the monitor is back in action...
http://youtu.be/O9DTwNMsleY So happy.. im getting a spare chassis just in case. |
