kampcool:
Picked up my Ebay win locally today. One is a Classic Dud, and the other is a Conversion Favorite.

OPERATION WOLF: I fully understand the non demand in purchasing this very early gun-op. I imagine there is not much I can do with this amazingly intact original cabinet, as far as conversions go (because of that big gun pedestal). But I am very new into this hobby, and like comic books, my eye looks for authentic "solid" works. I dont even know what year this gun op was released, but after physically picking it up, and moving it 45 miles, It is amazingly in VERY solid shape. Its never seen water damage like my defender. Just beat the hell up from being moved, and worked on, from what I can tell. It has a Horizontal Electro G07(mirror casted), and a newer non linear power supply, I max bid 77 dollars on it, because it was ending with a MK2 conversion from the same auctioneer at the exact same time. It looked solid, and I figured WTH. I won. It wont power up, is all I know.

MORTAL KOMBAT 2 CONVERSION:
This cab is a "Dynamo" that has been arcade converted into a Mortal Kombat2. Whats cool, is I found all the conversion blueprints inside after unloading.
I was told that the game played fine, monitor just had lines on startup. Not exactly the case, but at the price won, I am not bitching. She needs some help. Both Joysticks were FAIL, so I cannibilized, and got one working. Ordered some competition ones on the way... I was initally having some "power down" interupts, but after changing P/S cord things have been stayblil for a minute..... The "lines" are not just on start up, but persist thru-out extended game play. They even get worse, till a "fonzerelli smack on the side" straightens it back up. Somethings loose, for sure. You will see what I mean, Pictures are worth 1K.

AND THEN WHEN YOU ARE ABOUT TO "FINISH IT".....................
I get a squashed, lined presentation. One smack on the side, and it straightens up...
