I had acquired a Soul Calibur 2 machine a few months back that I knew was a conversion but didn't look too much into it.
I had been looking for one of the versions of Mortal Kombat for a while but never put 2 & 2 together... You may have seen one of my old threads where I got the history of the machine from the Aladins Castle ID tag and contacted namco...
I opened it up and sure enough, original MK2 factory tags! Yes! Let the deconversion begin!
Here is the Soul Calibur 2 machine ready to be deconverted (you can see the citistrip test area on the bottom / front)
Citistripped (Pre Liftoff)
After Liftoff - Vinyl had some damages (Those are the black spots you see)...
Removed the Namco 246 system inside and mounted up the MK2 PCB / Soundboard.
Had to clean up the control panel wiring a bit as the game had been through multiple conversions.
Think I finally have all of the parts to finish the control panel tonight!
Since the pics I have removed all of the Soul Calibur 2 moves and info from the monitor bezel and added the MK2 instruction card.
Hope to have the final pics with the finished CP up tonight!
