Title: Tekken 2 Back to Mortal Kombat *DONE*
Post by: MK3FAN on September 27, 2008, 03:33:38 pm

Picked up this Tekken 2 machine for a couple hundred bucks. Turns out is is a Mortal Kombat. Hiding under the hideous Tekken coverings on the side was the original MK sideart in PRISTINE condition. Some of it came off during the removal of the covering, but I was able to paint/touch up most of it. Here are some progress pics so far. LOTS of work will need to go into this baby to bring it back to it's former glory....

I'm thinking this should be moved to "Restorations"?

Nice work!

While I'm more of a Tekken player than a MK player,
I cannot argue that the Tekken "artwork" you stripped
off was really ugly... again, nice work

Ok, so I already have an MK1, but since I found a much better quality cab, I am putting all the MK1 stuff in the new cab and turning the old MK1 cab into UMK3.

The original volume pot/test menu switch bracket was missing on this cab, so I had to find out what wires went to what item and come up with my own solution. The volume pot you see in the pic, I had to steal from a working NBA JAM pcb I have.....
