Just wanted to show some pics of my Multi MK machine that Im making.
I've always wanted a MK machine. I finally picked up a very nice MK2 cab for $500. The lady that I bought it for said it was in excellent shape and was trying to get rid of it on EBAY for $550. I emailed her said told her that I would buy it for $475. She came back with a email stating that if she didn't sell it, their is this guy in SAN DIEGO that would buy it for $550 plus $300 to ship. I told her it probably was a scam and pointed out a few messages on this board about scammers. She finally said ok $500. Went downstate to pick it up and it wasnt in EXCELLECT shape but rather in very good shape. I rate it about a 8 or 8.5.
Here is a short video I made of the MK2 cab that I picked up
I posted a message on here on wether to make it a multi MK cab or keep it orginal.
http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=113320.0After reading some posts and thinking about it....I decided to make it a MULTI MK...The reason being is that I don't have the room for the other 4 MK cabs that I would need to fullfil my collection. LOL...
I started to strip everything and clean it. Even painted the insides black..(glad that I painted the insides)..very clean looking.
In this thread you can see my cab from the back...all sanded down. Thanks to Q*Bert_OP, I found out that a POPEYE pinball machine was used to make a wooden bracket for my PCB slide mount.
http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=113937.0I placed a order with GoG for the custom graphics. Vlad is a MK fan so he helped my out termendously. He is very good at what he does. He asked me what characters that I likes to play and told him Kano, Scorpion, Baraka and Kable. He made up the 1st proof and sent it to me

After thinking about it...I wanted a good side (Kabal, Scorpion) and a bad side (Quan Chi and Baraka)...So Vlad make up this....he also cented the KOLLECTION a little more to the right.

Doing to research I found out that Scorpion was actually NEUTRAL...So I had him removed and Vlad put in Raiden.

If you notice....since this is a Multi MK project..I wanted to showcase 1 person from each of the series... MK1=Raiden MK2=Baraka M3=Kabal MK4=Quan Chi. I'm very happy on how this turned out.
Here are some Pics of my cab so far....please bare-in-mind that I'm not done yet. I still have to redo the control panel/wiring... On the side of the control panel where is says MIDWAY...I would have that white/grey mist on there with a red MIDWAY so it doesnt look out of the place as it does now...



My goal is to make this one of the better Multi MK's out there. I have no plans to put in MK9.. This is strickly 1-4 (or unless they release another MK that is JAMMA). I have pull out shelves. Goin to use colored wire loom to make it easier to identify wires for each pcb. Thinking about putting 2 of those red led 250mm fans on the cab..one on top and the back panel.
The only problem that I might be facing is that I really like the MK logo that I have for the marquee...I wanna use that for the graphic for the control panel but BBB's MK cab already has that...but instead of having 2 logos, I would have 1 in the center. I really really really would hate to copy his layout "style" but I dunno...any ideas?
Thanks all for all the help you are giving me. I just wanted to show you guys that your answers are not being unheard. Thanks again!

PS. I have to give a big ass shout-out to Evan Williams in Tennessee. I believe hes a member on here. He gave me a killer deal on UMK3 PCB, and possible some other MK PCB's ..he treaded me like Im part of his family.

I appricate it man.
