Title: Mortal Kombat 3 Arcade Machine...Built From Scratch!
Post by: MK3FAN on November 03, 2007, 08:19:09 pm
Like the title says, I got all the parts on Ebay minus the wood and glass componenets and made this from scratch. Thought I would share. Thanks for viewing!

I like the way the control panel is just slightly wider than the case. I don't know if that's how the originals were but it looks pretty cool.

Well, after having to buy 2 monitors (the first one arrived with a crushed picture tube) from Wells Gardner, I was already into this for $1000. After all was said and done (being that this is actually a MAME system), I was at close to $3000. I bought everything brand new down to the wiring.
