My New Killer Instinct Project - Thanks to VectorJunkie
So yesterday I got a PM from VectorJunkie saying he was wanting to sell off the KI he "SAVED from a life of MAME" back in October for $150. (I had pm'd him when he got it to keep me in mind if he ever wanted to sell it.)

Of course I said I wanted it. So today I went and picked it up!
Here's the down low:
The good:
• Cabinet is solid
• Art is in good shape
• Board, switcher, power supply are all there
• New sticks and buttons are there!
• CPO looks mint!
• Marquee and speaker cover look mint
• Glass is clean no scratches
• Coin doors are there and look great
The Bad
• No leg levelers - Bob Roberts here I come!
• Monitor is MIA - I have a standard res 25" donor from a GT I can use
The Ugly
• Some really bad touchup paint work on the sides and front of the Control Panel - Gonna Try Graffiti Remover
• Back of cabinet was cut out - I plan on rebuilding
• Back door missing - I plan on rebuilding
• Harness is hacked at the controls to put in MAME - Already ordered a used harness
• Fan is missing - Fan is coming with the harness i bought
• There are four mystery holes on the sides near the back of the cabinet. Not sure why they are there? Looked at my NBA Jam cabinet and it doesn't have them or anything in them.
What I Need:
• Side and front Control Panel Decals
• Lower Monitor mounts
Bonus
• I have a KI2 board I know works that I can use in it as well!
Take a look!
