Not a bad find at all. I guess the big question is whether you want to run MK4 (or 3 for that matter).

Is your MKII cab running emulators or the game PCB? For MAME having the extra button could definitely help. I'm guessing the button holes won't quite line up with MKII's, though.

Some very nice artwork if nothing else.
Brevity is not my strong suit.

i am going to run utimate mk 3 using mame..and maybe part 4 using epsxe..

the best thing about it is that everything is ready for my needs and i cleaned it with windex and it looks even better than before.

now i got to order me some more buttons now ha ha ha.

you guys should have seen my mk2 control panel..it looked like crap and was scratched up and ruined well the plexi was anyway..

*waits for genesim to run in, asking why you don't hook up a Dreamcast and run Mortal Kombat Gold (expanded version of MK4)*

You'll be set for most MKs up to MK4 though.  You could run any of the console versions, including MK Trilogy on PS or N64.

Not to be a killjoy here, but um.... you're not actually supposed to use Windex on acrylic (unless it's got a protective clear coat). From the care and instruction sheets at places like TAP, Windex is specifically not recommended. Cheap ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- brands, like from IKEA, might be OK, I know they don't have ammonia, but I don't know the specifics of the cleaning agent formula.

A tip from my days in hospitality & as househusband:

1) if necessary, clean major dirt with detergent & a soft cloth; then
2) use a capful or two of methylated spirits in a small bucket/container of warm water, apply with damp cloth (or old windex spray bottle!) and immediately use clean, lint-free cloth to dry it off.  No streaks. No fuss.  Little cost.

Nice panel!
Me jealous.

I know where you can find a bunch of matching buttons for it.
