picked up this Killer Instinct 1 from srabelpawz for $150
Just until I get my Killer Instinct 1 board fixed, I put in NBA Jam Tournament Edition V1.0 (with mortal kombat characters) and the matching header. For now, this will be fully restored to KI1, but if I cant get the boards fixed for a good price, it'll be a KI1 cab with NBAJam in it, lol.

heres what you want, the pix:

here's the side before any stripping is done.

this is after about an hour

handsome devil aint he?

I remember those companies! There was already damage to the side art before I got to it with my chemicals and plastic scraper.

Nice score! Your KI board was the one with a few burnt resistors, correct?

KI1 has some broken components, my KI2 is the burnt one. Know anyone that can fix one/both?

Wow. KI boards must be cursed. Sorry. I dont know anyone who could do any professional work with guarantees and such. I know that burnt board looked like you could jump a standard (not surface-mount) resistor of equal value to what was burnt, but it wouldn't look nice and for all I know that wouldn't work.

I can't help but notice that you have the Charlotte Hornets selected on NBA jam. That was my team once apon a time

That should be a "Killer" restoration by the way! Sorry couldn't resist!

Hornets are one of the better more balanced teams, its just coincidence though usually I use Scorpion

heres the over all side art progress:

This restore brought to you by the letters K and I

My camera phone sucks ass. I will take new better pix when bonnie gets back from Taiwan, she has the 6.1 MP camera but I didnt feel like waiting 2 weeks to get started.

Very Nice.

Malenko · « **Reply #8 on:** January 23, 2009, 09:41:15 pm »

I *almost* have one side completely done, but I lack a good camera. I'll start taking more better pix in about a week.
heres the CP side art 99% cleaned

Malenko · « **Reply #9 on:** January 26, 2009, 02:28:03 pm »

Im pretty much finished this side, the other side can wait a week or two.

how do u use that stuff

spray it on scrape/wipe it off. the citrus stuff is faster but just didnt want to work on this particular paint. Your KI2 looks great

adidas1984x · « **Reply #12 on:** February 04, 2009, 02:36:58 pm »

thanks bro i was just glad to find it only problem is finding a good board

Malenko · « **Reply #13 on:** February 08, 2009, 05:38:53 pm »

Im considering the Xin1 board that has KI1 and KI2 on it if I cant get these KI1 and KI2 boardsets repaired.

these all taken with a REAL camera and not my phone.

left side is totally done

the quintessential BEFORE shot

I spray the paint remover on the side then put shop towels on it and spray the shop towels. This holds the paint thinner on the cab and keeps it from evaporating. This technique had me use 1/3 of a bottle for the last shot you see with all that paint off instead of the THREE bottles I used on the other side.

25 minutes of work.

1/3 of a bottle and 2 hours of work. Much better then 2 bottles and 8 hours of work to reach this point on the other side.

HUGE killer instinct fan! Do you still have the photos?

Malenko · « **Reply #15 on:** August 01, 2009, 07:52:42 am »

no, they got lost in the project picture thread split.
I'll look for them on my old camera but Im pretty sure they are lost. it was basically me removing the black paint off the sides and revealing spinal. cab is in storage, still no KI board, too expensive.

I have a broken dedicated KI2 Im trying to get rid of , you wanna buy it?

Is that a temporary setup while you look for a working KI board?

yeah, the jamma wiring n stuff is all in there, I just used an extra breakout cable, soft15, and an IPAC2 (I broke a resistor off my JPAC) I almost wanna leave it in there, I've got 1 KI1 board and 2 KI2 boards and none of them work.

Malenko · « **Reply #22 on:** September 15, 2009, 09:14:10 am »

bumping this up as a reminder, I found the pictures and I'm going to re-upload them and edit the thread. thank god for tiny USB flash drives.

EDIT: pix updated and original posts modified to point to the new location of the pictures.
