Is this a factory MKII cab

That's what mine looks like (t-molding isn't correct on the CP in this pic)- yours has like a cut away towards the front. I don't know if there was a UK difference in the cab. Pricey though considering it's condition. Roughly $600 in the US could get you a super-fresh MK2.

its not mine, i was considering buying. with regards the cab its the same cab i have for my KI (which i thought was factory) seems alot in the UK are diff that the US. but i cant tell if its an upgrade kit cab or its a UK factory cab. no one seems to be able to confirm.

what would you say is an acceptable price for such an item?
 
Yeah sorry If I worded that funny - i knew you weren't the seller.

You should get in contact and see if they can get you more pics - my cab has 2 or 3 midway labels on it showing that it's the MKII cabinet - one little sliver label below the control panel on the front of the machine, one inside the cabinet on the right side upright when looking into the cab from the back. and maybe one above the back door.

I'm not sure how this worked overseas with the build and distribution so I can't be positive on what it is.

I can tell you that getting full side-art on a non-dedicated machine would be expensive - I see them on ebay and such for well over $200 I believe.

It could be dedicated in the UK but I can't say 100%? If this were in the US I would say no. - If you do find out it's legit I would hope you could get it for £300 to £350 at most. Is it super rare in the UK?

Hi guys,

Im looking at a mortal kombat 2 cab, other that it being over priced, is it actually a factory cab?

It might be the UK dedicated cab. The U.S. dedicated cabs look different in that the CP is completely removeable. The U.K. cabs you've posted it appears that the sides of the CP are part of the side panels of the cab. On the U.S. cabs you can see that the CP actually sticks out a little farther than the cab side panels. This is easily noticed by the t-molding. The U.K. cab has a continuous strip while the U.S. cabs have breaks when you get to the CP, hence the reason for the different color on the MK2 cab Joystix has pictured.

yes the CP is the way to tell as well as the T shaped front coin slots.

could do with finding out if this is the UK factory midway cab, see more of these cabs than anything but the confusing part is that i also see the US style midway ones. This can only make me guess that its none factory.

from a collectors point of view, im sure they dont want to punt a wad on something thats not factory. i have seen lots of mk3 cabs like this.

you can see this UK Midway cab is like your US ones.

It looks like a MK1 cab with a very good conversion to me... but it's not.

The MK1 cab is angled in the front sides.. and the MK2 cab does not have that much space on the bottom between where the coin door is and the sides next to it, so this may be a UK dedicated MK2 cab but I know nothing about those.

Definately NOT a dedicated MK cab that I've seen in the U.S. however.
 
haha yeh i saw that, if only i had a house as big as your guys in the states, that would fill my biggest ground floor room.

im still holding back on buying something were not sure on whats dedicated or not :( id hate to pump good money on something for to find out later is not the original article.

Ask the guy if it has the original midway stickers and serial numbers, all of my original cabs have the midway stickers with the serial number and "mortal kombat 2" or whatever printed on them on the back of the cab and on the inside wall of the cab... May help figure out if the cab is genuine or not.... And if not, what the hell it is :)
 
The sideart resolution on that uk mk2 is definitely different than the us version. Kinda looks reproduction for the side art. But other than that it looks like its dedicated for the uk, unless someone but alot of time and effort in making that cab.
