Many, many months ago, I spotted this Midway cabinet on Facebook and picked it up with the intention of restoring and selling it. It had been converted to a Shuffleshot and everything was painted over in black so I wasn't sure what it was originally. When I arrived to pick it up, I found that it was a Killer Instinct 2 cabinet which I did not own so instead of restoring and selling to make a few bucks, I decided to keep it and de-convert/restore it and add it to my collection.
Below is a list of the work that's been done to it:
- Removed old paint with Citristip to keep original side art. The art is far from perfect, but it is original so I'm going to keep it instead of applying reproduction art to it.
- Painted coin doors and frames and cleaned all coin mechanisms and coin door parts
- Rebuilt Wells Gardner K7400 monitor chassis with full cap kit, filter cap, and solder reflow
- Rebuilt Peter Chou power supply with new capacitors including filter caps
- New Power Cord
- New marquee retainer
- New control panel wood, metal, and lexan
- New art package including control panel overlay, control panel box art, bezel instruction stickers, and marquee
- New red t-molding
- Painted front and back of cabinet along with some internal brackets/hinges
- New SUZO HAPP Competition buttons and joysticks
- New coin door locks, keys, and cash box
- New Fan
- Replaced original working hard drive with SSD upgrade
