Title: Are Mortal Kombat 4 and MK 2 the same cabinet?
Post by: redfivexw on March 02, 2015, 12:24:14 pm

Wondering if anyone has both cabinets or knows the answer.  I have a dedicated MK4 that has been painted over and missing everything.  I want to build a MK2.  The cabinets look the same on the internet photos, I want to order new side art from This old game but unsure if the dimensions were identical.

As far as I know MK1 is the only different cab with the angled lower front and pull out tray. I am pretty sure that MK4 had a different layout for the control panel though. It looks like MK3 but the holes are offset.

measured 3 specific spots on all 3 MK cabs I have (MKII, MK3, MK4)

all cabs are the same.

the side where the big piece of art is, is 35 1/2" wide
the tall point in the back of the cab is ~69"
and from the floor to the bottom of the CPBox is just under 30"

HOWEVER, I dont think the buttons line up from MK4 and MKII
