Hey everyone,
Im a new member and just got my first machine last week. I always wanted one as a kid, so bought one. Pretty sure others have similar stories.
Did some reading this past week on the forum and learned alot. Just want to make sure now about what I have, from what i read. I want to restore this machine back to original.
I bought a machine with a z back design, its black and red. Has a 25 inch monitor. It has street fighter 2 world warrior. Has the correct marquee and bezel. Not sure about the control overlay though. Not even sure if these are repro or original. The guy said they were OG but he was a bit unsure as well.
Everything works, just has to fix the coin mechanisms by cleaning some of the contacts. Got the machine for $450
I read that world warrior didn't have a dedicated cabinet, and people aren't 100 percent sure about some aspect of the machine since they came in kits. I also read that world warrior didn't even really come in 25 inch.
Now for my questions I need help on :
Is the control overlay original or one of the originals? I never seen this on any other machine ive seen online.
Did this machine ever come in 25", ive read things about it being only in 19 originally.
Is the cabinet era/model correct for sf2 world warrior?
Was $450 a good price??? It seemed a little high to me, but I wanted it bad, and other machine on craigslist that were in worse condition were going for $600. There were conversion that looked horrible for $250.
What do you think I need to do to make it as original as possible???
Thanks guys. this seem to be a very informative site. But very addicting. Im glad these machines are so heavy, and I dont own a truck. If so , Id be in trouble.... lol
THANKS IN ADVANCE!
