Ok so I'm brand new to the arcade thing, wanted one forever and found a Mortal Kombat 1 thats for sale about 180 miles from me. Would like to get some of you experts to weigh in on this and tell me if you think it's a good deal. I'll be getting for 200 bucks maybe a little less if I can get the guy to move a little more on it. I've posted the link to the photobucket album of pics of it. Do you think this is in an original cabinet? It has a 19" monitor, I wish it had a 25" and thats the only thing really making my question it. I will be transporting this in the back of a truck, is laying it down ok or should I leave it standing up. I will be straping it down either way and will be checking to make sure everything is secure before and after I move it. Would to in the future add other pcbs to it possibly Killer Instinct/Street Fighter/MK 2. http://s126.photobucket.com/albums/p115/jonelmore/mortal%20kombat/ |

No, not an original. However, is it still worth buying a working cabinet for $200 or less? In my opinion, yes. Lay it down in your truck (make sure all internal / external parts are secure, first) on a heavy blanket / other padding and strap it down and it should be fine. |

Are all the originals 25" monitors with the full side artwork? Would it be possible for me to put a larger monitor/tv in it? |

There are 3 dedicated MK1's on ebay right now maybe spend a bit more to get what you really want. I did and I feel as though the MK1 dedicated cabinets are the nicest ever made. but to answer your question an MK2 is better suited to play other games as it has different wiring harnesses to adapt better. BTW both MK1and MK2 have 25" monitors. MK1 is limited in that aspect |
