My first free score

[gatordad]

Got some great news on Fathers day, My mom told me one of her friends has 2 arcade machines that they wanted to get rid of and asked me if I wanted them.
It's my mom, 
sooooo I nicely said of coarse I do.
I was told one works and one doesn't.
I asked what kind are they...........
Mortal Kombat 2 in a converted dynamo cab (doesn't work when I go to pick it up) but the other one works
I only have room for one game at a time in my truck so I take the Mortal Kombat home yesterday and it indeed doesn't work. I unload it and start to take a look inside, the monitor chassis had only one screw holding it place a it was almost hanging inside the vab, I remount it and secure all of the connections and try again, neck glows and I hear the high voltage hum, however the screen was black with what appears to be a white flicker on the bottom. I open up the drawer that dynamo cabs have, give the motherboard a good lookover, pressed the game roms and memory chips to make sure they were seated securely and try again. Leds flash on the motherboard, Now I have a have rolling image and no sound..... Inside the coin mech is a volume pot. I turn it up and now there is sound.......after a few minutes messing with the monitor controls its fully working. I am never this lucky. I just had to share. I think I am going to sell the Mortal Kombat and keep the other one. I need a new monitor for my mame rig and this Mortal Kombat should almost cover the cost for a digital multisync.

And my wife says see dosen't like to play.....

Everyone around me knows if the word "arcade" is ever mentioned, the contents of said discussion must be reported back to me.

Good score

On one hand, congrats on the score. On the other hand - how old is the little one? I would think that game is not appropriate for his age...

Great score but!  What's the other cab?

Picked it up on my lunch hour today.
Great shape dedicated KI2
Monitor is missing the chassis
Plays blind with original HD
I guess the guy I picked them up from had which one worked and which one didn't  backwards
So much for my troubleshooting skills (kind of a buzzkill) as I was feeling pretty good about myself getting the MK up and running

Anyone know what model of monitor came with these?

I don't have the keys to get inside to take a closer look,
I called him back and left a message asking if he had the keys before I drill the locks.
All in all I'm extremely happy, can't beat the price Huh?
Fresh off the camera

I hate you.

I would kill for a nice Killer Instinct 1 or 2 cab.  You are a lucky guy!
