That is normal. It's a glitch. Great job on the cleanups! Here is the MK1 service switch...

[namsan]

Hi and thanks MK3FAN 
A solution to fix the glitch easily ?

Hi and thanks MK3FAN

You're welcome. The sound effect of the spear hitting the opponent cancels the "Get Over Here." There is no fix at the moment.

[namsan]

  ok ok, thanks

Hello,

My chassis from my MKI doesn't start anymore (Wells gardner K7000 + Monitor Zenith) (Already try a capkit and change the flyback)
Anyone know if i can adapt another chassis like Hantarex on it, it's possible ? I try to find one chassis compatible.

Thx

Great work man! Such a great feeling when you accomplish goals like these!   All of these look really good too!

[Lebowski]

what an great restauration you performed on these machines.
i have one question for you:
where did you find that glossy red T-molding?
it looks great!

Wow, namsam! Your photos and documentation of this fantastic restoration job is exactly what I've been looking for! I have a lot to learn about repairing my Mortal Kombat 2 machine, but this gives me a bit of a guide. Thanks for posting this.
