[Prophecy]

Sounds sweet, is Mortal Kombat 3D different from Mortal Kombat 4 or are they the same thing?

[Mr.Deflok]

err oh and the cost, 300 canadian plus tax, thats the cabinet, everything working, monitor, coin op, and the mk3 pcb

[quest1mark]

dude....i think mk3 was the best of the series before it got all weird and crap. smoke was my fave.

[emmdubbs]

that cab. is amazing....where did you purchase it from, it's my dream to own my own upright arcade machine.

sorry for not replying sooner..

I looked in the yellow pages for amusment sales or something of the likes, or coin op... and called them up, they had a warehouse full of stuff.

you could do that, or what ive found on the web in my search for a home arcade...

apparently talking to arcade operators if they have any brokem cabinets or old ones they liked to sell could work.

ebay could work too, but shipping something this big is expensive..

also this news group
http://groups.google.com/groups?oi=d...de.marketplace

and then there is www.arcadecontrols.com they are all about building your own arcade or even just modifying existing ones to run emulators...

check out thier forum they have a selling/trading forum

Ive seen a bunch of stuff going free but never in my area... so good luck (i spent 300 + tax canadian on mine)

[Confederate]

that a great price for that cabinet, I've always wanted something like that.

[Ace_O_Spades]

Why would you mess with that? Just leave it alone in its virgin state... what a classic game

[Jam]

well its not really, this is just a JAMMA cabinet, the cabinet has the JAMMA standard wiring harness so you just pull out the pcb and stick in another, its not a dedicated cabinet which only runs one game and is meant to run only one (for example : http://www.klov.com/game_detail.php?...R&game_id=9299)

that one I wouldnt mess with..

anyways I have it hooked up to my computer now looks the same, I have a picture of it running a lithtech based game, but the site hosting the pictures is currently down
