I picked this up last weekend. It was converted to UMK3 but luckily wasn't painted over. I have wanted an original MK since I first played it. Pretty good shape. A few dings and some minor fading on the sides. Gonna have to touch up the control panel box. Obviously, I need to replace the CPO and the marquee. I picked it up with no pcb to save cash. I have two UMK3 pcbs anyway. I have a Y-unit pcb that had Proto 9.0 on it. I went ahead and upgraded it to Rev. 4.0. The cab is wired for a T-unit pcb. Anyone want to sell a T-unit MK pcb cheap? Monitor is a pretty nice K7000. Whadyathink?

i think you should go to gameongraphix and get all the proper mk1 decals you can for that puppy. I own mk1, 2 and 4..and in my opinion mk1 is the best cabinet by far!!

i got a question for you...does umk3 have a separate sound board or is it infact all on 1 board? also....feel like selling me one of your umk3 boards? :)
 
Wow. Only took 5 weeks to get a comment. lol. Thanks for the comments. I do plan on getting the artwork from gameongrafix but needed to save the cash for christmas. Will get it done pretty soon though. I also got a T-unit pcb off of ebay for cheap and installed it so that I didn't need to mess with the wiring.

And Zenomorp, I've seen that thread before. Great job bringing it back.

I just need a MK3 cab now and I'm probably gonna make custom artwork and make a UMK3 "dedicated" machine with the midway cab I have in storage. Oh yeah, I still need to get the full left sideart for my MK4 cab since someone removed Quanchi's face...
 
Looks great! Congrats. I can't resist sharing my MK cabinet again. This thing was painted blue and gutted. I was able to uncover the artwork and swap the guts from my old, faded MK cab. It still needs a few things and I have to finish repairing the coin door wires, but with it set to freeplay, it's running for the holidays at least.

Congrats on your pickup, I love the MK1 art! When I fist got mine, the memories and flashbacks I had were incredible... I have a lot of fond memories of playing 1 and 2 in the arcade.

I bought mine about a year ago from the original OP that had the game in his home for about the last 10 years.. the art is non-faded and everything is 100% original. And the sad part, I have been considering selling it because I need space! ugh.

Here's the pics:

I was thinking of making custom sideart like the title screen (skulls) for a UMK3 cab. They didn't make dedicated UMK3 cabs. They were all MK3 cabs. I think it would look cool.

I think if you sell it you'll have trouble finding another one.
 
Great find there - also glad to see you put the Prototype 4.0 Roms in there that I dumped from my board.

Alot of fun stuff you can do with that revision.
 
They were the 9.0 proto roms that came on the pcb when I bought it like 10 years ago. I switched it to normal 4.0 until I got my T-unit board. Is there a different 4.0 proto romset?

Khabbi, I noticed you had some graffiti on your cabinet. If you can't get it off try a Mr.clean Magic eraser original. Just don't scrub too hard so the paint comes off , or you get a white residue. Also very nice cabinet. This Thread made my Day!!!
 
In all honesty you have the Absolute perfect cab for a multi MK. Mine is in an MK that being said...

My favorite cab is MK1, my favorite CP is UMK3, man you are set!

Khabbi that is a beautiful can you have there!

And good to see ya around ZENOMORP!
 
I'm going to completely change this back to the original MK. I'll use my MK4 cab if I ever get a hankering for MK3. Trying to find a cheap MK3 cab but not holdong my breath. They're hard to come by as it is.

Also, I did find where the proto 4.0 roms were released. I downloaded them. I'll burn them and try them one of these days. Proto 8.0 was dumped around the same time. Haven't downloaded it yet but I will sometime.
