Game swap with a fellow KLOVer

[Mitsurugi-w]

Today I swapped games with a fellow member. Jeff (scottva33) drove his Killer Instinct 2 down from Virginia to swap it out for my extra Killer Instinct cab. Jeff is the first member here that I have met in person. Thanks for helping me get one off my want list and nice talking with you!

The monitor needs to be recapped. Its a POLO so I'll do that this weekend. Also need to get a new fan to blow on the pcb. The one inside is seized up. Easy stuff.

Pics or it didn't happen:

Nice.

Those cabs are such tanks. I just got two more of 'em from Game_Girl (one with a KI2 panel overlay) to use as JAMMA swap machines to add to the Blitz cab I have. They're so heavy, but I really appreciate the wheels on the back. They're also extremely nice for swapping out control panels as they way they're built makes putting custom panels on a cinch.

I'd love a KI2 cabinet with full art intact. It's a nice looking machine.

Nice job on the stretch wrap! I always do that when I transport games. Keeps the bugs off and helps when those ninja thunderstorms appear.

 

[Mitsurugi-w]

Yeah we had those ninja thunderstorms for a few hours before he got here and he caught some rain on the way in. Luckily it stopped about 30 minutes before he got here and didn't rain any more afterwards. Maybe he avoided it on the way home also?

I am jealous KI and KI 2 are 2 of the games I want the most. Someday I hope to have either one of them.

Congrats

Thanks. Yeah, KI is one of my faves. I really like the look of the KI2 cabs, also. It took me a long time to find my first KI. I paid a marine $600 for it because he was moving. I got this second one from another marine (high ranking one, think special ops---then forget I said anything about it) for repairing two of his other games. So basically for free.

I had people offer me $900 for it but I wanted another cab from my want list. Next up? Dedicated MK3. We'll see how long this takes...

Awesome how things can really work out between good peeps.
KI isn't my thing but others dig it.

Congrats

Those are both really sweet looking cabs. The midway fighting cabinets are my all time favorite design, so much so I had to get myself two of them! Too bad they weigh 9 million lbs.

A friend with KI is a Friend indeed.
