Picked up what seems to be an empty Mortal Kombat 2 Cabinet. Looking to get some pieces to put this together

* Mortal Kombat 2 PCB + Soundcard
* Control Panel Overlay
* Bezel

Ebay seems to be hit or miss right now. Anyone have anything?
Thanks

Good point.

Should the ground go to the frame above the chassis and below for the frame.

Also, looking at this monitor it seems on the third picture that the chassis has a metal frame attached to monitor frame. Didn't know if plastic buffer had to be between them.

The black wire I believe should attach from board that attaches to yoke to the monitor board, just can't find where.

Thanks for help

Yep, I didn't notice I grabbed a power supply cord that was for my computer.. It was a bad mistake till I noticed.. Luckily nothing was fried.. If I unplug the monitor power supply, everything works perfectly... So I am guessing the wires that are above need to be plugged in some where.. I just don't see anywhere that they can be plugged into on the monitor board.

Do I have to put spacers between the chassis and the cabinet for it to be properly grounded? Also, The circle wire comes from the power supply, is this a ground? and where the hell does this plug in from the yoke board...

Ahh, I figure I am almost there if I can get these plugged in correctly.

Having issues with my monitor.

I changed the fuses on the monitor and it turns on..

Ok, so I got the monitor to start up. I bought new fuses and that seemed to do the job.
I do think there is an issue with some of the wiring.

1) First Picture has a wire coming from the "Yoke" of the monitor. I would assume this goes to the monitor board, but don't see where this would go.. Anyone have an idea?

2) The wire with a circle comes from the power supply.. Where does this attach to? I am assuming that it isn't a ground.

3) The chassis it self wasn't bolted down. Do you have to have spacers like a computer motherboard between this and the monitor frame? Also, all the metal you can see right here is electrified. I was shocked  :angry:a couple times trying to figure this one out,

Also, using a three pong power plug, it won't turn on. I accidentlly used a tv plug, no ground, and it turns on. So I am guessing there is a ground issue.




Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone know if jamma boards all have 3 led lights on them? I currently have two boards and 1 is working and the other, the third one doesn't light up.

Hey group.. Just picked up a dual grand prix 2 sitdown cab that has crusin USA in both sides.. It needs heavy work as one side has no monitor and the other side doesn't start up.. Alot of work ahead of me. Never have done this before, only worked on computers.

I found what Charles was saying. I will try it out this weekend.

Any suggestions on what monitor and where to get them? This cabinet originally was Grand Prix, at least both sides say that. So I am guessing that it was original monitor. I bought it at an auction for $40 bucks. So far a good . Let's see what the total cost will be to get this thing going though.

Yes, it is probably the fan. The MB lights up, just not completly booting.

The Monitor says on the back of the panel behind the screen "KT-2725C". I haven't had a chance to google it yet.. I would upload pictures, but not quite sure how to do that on this board. I will have to test for static on front of the screen tommorow, I forgot to check for that tonight. I will let you know.

LCD is not what I want to do, but I am missing a monitor for the 2nd Crusin. So either I have to switch to that or find me a monitor that is similar to the other one.. If I can get it to work.

Is there a way to go back to see what Charles wrote up. I kept it on my screen, but windows restarted on me.

Good Afternoon. I just picked up a World Grand Prix cabinet that has been updated to Crusin USA. It is a dual sit down cabinet. It currently only has one monitor and it doesn't light up. A few questions that I have.

1) One power supply's fan doesn't kick on when turned on. Does this mean I need to get a new power supply?
2) Monitor doesn't turn on. It's there a guide to troubleshoot? I want to make sure that I have the proper things plugged in?
3) If monitor is toast, what is the best way to upgrade to LCD monitors? Which hardware do I need?
4) One issue with one Jamma board.. There are three lights on the MB. Light on D7 doesn't light up, is there something I can do to trouble shoot what that is?

Thanks.. I am pretty good with computers, but the whole arcade thing I am new at, especially with early 90's equipment.
