Dude, thanks for taking us along on this Killer adventure with you. KI will always have a special place in my heart, as it was the first arcade game I ever put my 4 year old meat hooks on. I have to see if I could find, but I have this picture of my pops holding me up to the control panel to play. Will always be a dream of mine to one day own this cab.

@alfredo3015 3 года назад

I totally agree with you with that celebration 05:30 , that game is amazing!!

@Glitch969 3 года назад

I would suggest re-laminating the front after patching rather than painting. I used to paint, but once I did my first go with laminate, I never looked back. It will look SO much better and it's really easy. It covers all the little flaws and gives everything a clean, uniform look. It will look like a brand new cabinet. So happy to see you getting into restorations! Good luck!

@lchambers56 3 года назад

I think you should restore the side art, even if you don't do it right away. It'd be great if you can have it looking brand new. But I'm excited for you and I'm looking forward to every video you do of this restoration. Code Mystics just joined the main Arcade 1Up group last night and they should be joining my Killer Instinct group today. This is gonna be the year of KI!!

@StLounatic 3 года назад

That kick harness can get a lot of use for other PCB's you could quickly throw in, if you decide to collect more. That is easily one of the cleanest KI cabs I've seen, most are either Frankenstein'ed to oblivion, or the cab is in terrible shape.

@RetroRalph 3 года назад

I am on my second ki cab, 1st one i owned back in early 2000 and sold it. Glad to be an owner of another and got it before the pcbs skyrocketed. I will follow you closely to emulate your restoration process as my monitor has been replaced with an lcd and the cabinet itself needs some tlc. Killer instinct is my all time favorite game.

@slinger2112 3 года назад

That PCB looks unbelievable, Ralph! I think someone mentioned a YT channel in the chat during the flyback solder party livestream that I think would be a good guide for what you're planning. Checking to see if "John's Arcade Game Reviews & Tech" is on your radar. Good examples of the Bondo/cabinet restoration, CPO restoration, wiring, CRT chassis rehabs, etc. Jumping around his 20+ part MK2 complete restore to find what you're actively working on could be helpful. Looking forward to more progress videos!

@FranktheTank83 3 года назад

Righteous!!!! Can we all please agree that tornado terry is badass! I’m glad he (or she) got some recognition. Terry sent out my KI and MK1 controls, which are very nice, super fast and let me customize the packages as I wanted. (I wanted plain start buttons) I have no idea who tornado terry is but I appreciate the badassness. XLARCADE on eBay is also badass ... one of the only sources, i know of, for the metal layer of the midway control panels if needed. New subscriber of yours Ralph and feel like we just became best friends! (Karate in the garage)...Sorry for the long post. Glad I came across your channel ✌️

The door way is 29 inches wide but I got 34 inches of depth heading in and I would need to twist it to go down the 90 degree to head down. Any siggestions?

I'd love to do a Ninja Baseball Batman arcade skin for my Arcade 1Up, but the one he sells is for Alpha-Cade and I never did hear back from him. Not sure if my emails didn't make it or what. I'd also probably have to make modifications due to button/speaker layouts that would be tough (and scary).

What does something like this sell for once it's all done?

@RetroRalph 3 года назад

I don't have any intention on selling this one but I think a Killer Instinct in good condition would go for around $1000-$1700+. The board itself has really gone up in price over the last few years so it may be even more than that at this point. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

@corporalmcna5ty734 3 года назад

@@RetroRalph I worked at scandia back in the 90's(family fun center) and when we'd get these machines in brand new they'd come with receipts. I distinctly remember this machine bcuz it was the first of its kind to come with GREAT speakers built into the cabinet. This game could be heard over every other game in the arcade. This was my first job and I got quite good at KI, so good in fact i won a tournament for it at incredible universe (now fry's electronics). Was really cool seeing that someone is showing some love to a game that was a HUGE part of my childhood.
