Are you going to try and remove the paint to let Sindel and Shao Kahn out of hiding?

What does removing the paint entail? That would be pretty cool, but I had not thought about that.

Thanks! I might think about doing that. Is there anything to look for to make sure I will be able to successfully uncover the original artwork?

If none of the controls work at all, it may simply be the signal ground is disconnected somewhere at the beginning of the circuit

One joystick is pressing the up switch down unless you move it into the down position and then it is in neutral position. The buttons that go with that joystick don't work except for one of them and sometimes you can get a character to kick, but that has been just me button mashing until something happened. On the other control, the joystick seems fine, but only the punch button works. Both start buttons seem to work fine.

just try to remove some paint near the bottom back part, so if it looks bad you can repaint and no one will notice.

As for the buttons, make sure they arent on the NC instead of NO

did that machine come with the PCB? If so , go to the switch test and see if the machine thinks all the buttons are being held down.

Yeah, it has got everything to play, except the controls don't work. I tried to go to the switch test, but since player one button isn't working, I can't select it. When I get home I will see if I can figure out what you are talking about. The machine came with an operations manual that I was planning on reading through for advice also.
