Killer Instinct (KI) Restoration (advice needed please)
I picked up a KI cabinet with a KI2 PCB inside. Overall for the price I paid it seems to be in decent shape. I plan on doing a pretty extensive restore on the outside. Fixing it up and updating it.
I will post before pics once my domain provider get an issue fixed.
I do have a few questions:
Seller informed me that the unit will randomly beep then restart, and sometime just "hang" and a blue screen and keep beeping every few seconds until the unit is restarted. I didn't have an issue for the first few days and was thinking maybe it was his house wiring or something. Then it happened. Unit restarted once on it's own and was fine. Another time it was "hung" on the blue srcreen beeping every few seconds until I turned the unit off. He said it might be the PSU. I ordered a new one which should be here in a few days. I wanted to check with KLOV and see what others had to say about it?
Two small issues with the monitor (25K2193 / U2000).
1) At the top near the left corner, there is a purplish mark like a magnet or something got close.
2) The monitor has like 7 lines across the top going horizontally.
I have order the U2000 cap kit and but wanted to see if anyone might have any other ideas on what the two issues could be and how to correct them?
I have two other issues / questions but I will wait until I can get the pictures posted.
As I stated above it's a KI cabinet with KI2 PCB. I am looking for a 6 - in - 1 Jamma extension PCB and KI PCB so that I can switch between both games. I want to get a 6 in 1 in case I want to add more PCBs into the cabinet.
I found a 6 - in - 1 Jamma extension PCB at http://www.arcademvs.com/ARCADE_ACESSERIOR.htm for $90 shipped. Has anyone dealt with them before ? $90 shipped is the best price I have found...
Also does anyone have info on the -5v wire that needs to be added to the Jamma extension PCBs for the KI/MK and other games that require there to be a -5v wire for the switching to work correctly?
I am going to order a KI marquee, and the CPO front/sides from www.gameongrafix.com.
I plan on using wood bondo to fix the cabinet. I would like to touch up the side art and was wondering what would be the best way to do this? Most of the issues are on the black / edging and if I am going to be using bondo it will need to be painted as well. I would like to get it as nice as possible. I have seen people use an air paint spray gun, would this be the "best" option?
Sorry for the long post, I am just excited about getting started on this project...
