Recently bought out an operator, one of the games is Surf Planet inside a MK2 cabinet, which i will be restoring in the next few weeks! Super excited to get this project done as mortal kombat is one of my favorite series. All of the original art is underneath the black paint, which i will citristrip it soon. Ill update this thread along with my progress.

So its been a very lengthy and tedious task, but i got the sides citrustripped and magic erased! They look absolutely gourgeous. I also put new leg levelers on. All i need to do is clean up the black paint, redo the coin door, and buy a PCB, marquee, and the stuff for the CP!

Its been a while for an update, but this project is practically done. I got a PCB running in the cabinet. I picked it up from a friend on a local facebook group! The game was DOA, but all it needed was a power suppy, and the game lit right up! Threw in the mk2 pcb and looks, works, and sounds great! I repainted and bondoed the black on the front of the cabinet. I actually just used rattlecan black. Worked perfectly! With my simpsons, i was displeased with the roller. Definitely gonna go with spray paint next time around. I also bondoed and repainted the CP box. Game has fresh T-molding and a new marquee. I also ordered the kick harness. All thats left is to order all the parts to put the CP together, until i get the funds, this project is on hold again!
