Original Mortal Kombat cabinet.

Missing stuff:
-PCB
-Coin door parts and mechanism
-Marquee
-CPO

So i'm going to restore it to look as original as possible.
I've already designed the CP stickers that goes around the stick and buttons.
Also I found on ebay an original MK marquee, it is on it's way.

Hope to finish this ASAP, I'll post some more pics when updated.

You can get your CPO from www.mamemarquees.com. Here is what mine looks like...

I also attached some new CP side box art if you need it.

Original Mortal Kombat cabinet.

Is there such a thing as an original MK cab? I thought they were all made from bastardized cabs that had previous lives as real games.

No. That's an original reprint.

Oh yes...problem is they're quite uncommon these days because most of them have been converted.

I was lucky enough to snag an original one up that was converted to UMK3. I restored it back to MK1.

Hey, nice MK cabinets you got there!
I love that CPO, and I have visited mamemarquees already. But if you look at my MK cabinet it seems like the CPO is different, I mean maybe it's another version. I just design the stickers so the can be placed onto the original CP image.

Look here:

and mine's here:

And here the stickers that I've designed to put over the original CP:

And please remember this is going to be a MAME machine so I'll need an extra button to play others games like SF2, that's why I designed the stickers with 6 buttons for each player instead of 5.
Anyway, I think the cabinet will look pretty good.

Hey, where did you get those stickers with the characters? The original cabinet has them?

amiga500 · « **Reply #8 on:** June 03, 2008, 01:35:37 pm »

Here's the new CPO installed with new Happ sticks and buttons.
I'm pretty happy with it, I had to design it for six buttons 'cause I want to play other fighting games like SF2.

amiga500 · « **Reply #9 on:** June 14, 2008, 09:32:16 pm »

Almost finished!

-The marquee arrived today, it looks pretty good. I need to find a more warm light, the one I've installed is pretty cold.
-Wiring for the CP is ready, it was a pain hacking the usb gamepads, but it's ready and playable now.

Still need all the configurations for the front end.

-Also I'm looking for the coin door part that I don't know it's name, it's where you put the coin and you receive the coin if it is rejected, I don't want the mechanism since this gonna be a Free Play MAME machine.

Some Pictures here...

Get some zip ties and clean up that rat's nest! Otherwise, Great job!!

Something else I noticed, in the picture below, there is no "Insert Coin" or "Press Start" in the upper corners. How did you manage that?

Yes there is!, on mortal Kombat it says 'FREE PLAY' maybe i took the picture when no words, they blink.

MK3FAN · « **Reply #14 on:** June 15, 2008, 02:44:51 pm »

That's what I figured. Good timing!

amiga500 · « **Reply #15 on:** June 15, 2008, 05:06:03 pm »

I was wonder where did you get the character stickers on your cab? The original cabinet has them?

Liu Kang

Your Liu Kang Fatality is incorrect. That is the movement for MK2. It should read:

F D B U
(Clockwise Circle)

Cheers!

I know. The way it reads is actually for Liu Kang in MK2. I never got around to changing it.

Actually, I built the cabinet from scratch for MAME purposes so, it's not really an upgrade...

you must have never seen an Mortal Kombat kit booklet, it tells you how to put an MK board in a SF cabinet.
