EDIT: Nevermind. I see that the K7500 does not require a ISO and the 7000 does. And the K7500 won't be able to display Mortal Kombat, correct?

MK is standard res (15khz) 400x254p. K7500 is medium res. You may need to swap the tubes as well.
K7000 is a very common model chassis. If it has problems/if necessary, you could disconnect it from the tube and mail it to an experienced repairer.
If you use groovymame, and set it up with the default "monitor presets", it should look at least reasonably good on med res monitor. Though I've never done it before myself.
You may as well use the cab's ISO if it is installed already. It won't hurt, and gives you an extra level of protection. Whatever works best.

Isn't MK a problem to get working with GM - as in, it has like a 57Hz refresh rate that makes a 254p mode squashed or something. There's a few threads on the GM forum about that specific game...

I have Mortal Kombat II playing perfectly on my D-Series JVC via Groovymame right now.

Ahhh, but is it running accurately... TBh I have no idea ;)
I can tell you that a few years back ppl were posting up all the time about MK not running right. This thread covers the topic - http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,157893
No idea about MK2 tho. The MK issue might have been fixed now anyway. I can't even remember what it was, just something to do with video modes.
