My current build
« on: August 28, 2011, 07:28:25 pm »
It was a MK21 machine that I found at a local thrift store, it had been turned into a Golden Tee machine. They had a piece of tape with $250 written on it and stated that it didn't work. I offered $100 and they accepted.

I pretty much just wanted it for a MAME cabinet and this would save me from building one.

When I got it home and we started taking it apart we found:

Working Coin mechanisms with spare parts in the bottom of the cabinet, token and quarter.
The original MK21 boards, the Golden Tee boards and a set of Street Fighter 2 (I think) boards.
12v power supply mounted to the floor.
Main power supply, non-functional.
Monitor and all electronics - with popped caps :(
A chopped up MK21 control panel with a track ball addition :(
and .... $7.50 in the coin bucket.

Now...

I need to get some side art printed, I have it created in Photoshop.
And I need to get the control panel finished.

I want to add a track ball, it will be where the mouse is in the photo.

Sorry, you are correct ... MK1, here is a pic of the MK board that was in it.

Please excuse the stupid question, but what is a CPO?

*FacePalm* I feel dumb.

Yea, I have marquee art, side art and control panel art created in Photoshop. I tried pricing it out local and got sticker shock, looking online now.

That PCB(printed circuit board) looks like a MK1 sound board...is there another PCB that the ribbon cable connects too?...it would be 3x the size of that sound board.

I can't say enough about them.  I've a review in the reviews forum.  I feel it was worth every penny I spent,  the care and professionalism is evident all the way down to the way the pack the items for shipping.
