Lead Dedicated 1993 Midway MORTAL KOMBAT 2 arcade works
Description
This is a decent ORIGINAL dedicated 1993 Midway MORTAL KOMBAT 2 arcade game. It is fully working and looks great! There are some issues with it, which I will describe in detail below. But first, the game looks really good as the artwork is super bright and vibrant, and not faded. The boards are fully working, and the monitor is not only working, but has been rebuilt by me and should be reliable. The controls are all BRAND NEW! The game has new red T-molding, and the marquee and coin slots light up with new bulbs. Now for the bad - this game cabinet was (before I owned it) stored in a place where it got dripped on, and the water really impacted the top panel and the right side of the cabinet. The left was not unscathed, but not nearly as badly harmed as the right side. The top and right side soaked up a lot of water, and you can tell the side has a very ripply texture all over it. The top also has that texture and you can see that it is kind of concaved a little from the water. When I bought it, the right side had started to separate from the cabinet, but I used PL Premium construction adhesive and a lot of clamps, and I believe that I solidified the cabinet enough that it should be able to survive. I have since moved it a few times from building to building and it has held up well. But I can't promise that it will continue to hold up perfectly in the future because I just don't know. It seems solid when I move it. So I am pretty confident that you can buy this and get it home and moved into place without an issue. And once you get it moved into your rec room or arcade, it looks just fine and plays great! In fact the water didn't seem to affect the front of the game much at all - from the front the thing looks really nice and in excellent condition. I know in the pictures above, the monitor looks like it isn't displaying right, but that's just because the shutter speed is too fast on my phone camera. So it captures the picture while the monitor is drawing the screen and looks like half the screen is missing. Trust me, or just watch the video above, and you will see that the monitor has a perfect picture.

Description
This is the Second Arcade Game Auction (of many to come) from our overflow warehouse in lovely downtown Atlanta, IL. NO BUYERS' PREMIUMS! NO HIDDEN FEES! After collecting (hoarding) games since about 1987, we have amassed a large and unique collection of thousands of classic games. This collection has given birth to Arcadia, Pinball Paradise, and the Route 66 Arcade Museum in central IL. Despite ambitious future expansion plans, we still have more games than we need (and not enough time) so we have decided to make them available to the public for the first time. Many collectors have seen our legendary warehouses and wondered when this stuff would be made available for sale. Some may have even pondered the idea of our inevitable death and the following estate sale. Well, the wait is over. We are going to start letting them go, even while we are still alive! We can't take 'em with us! The majority of these games are "as found" from our countless warehouse raids over the last 35 years. While many are in rough condition, there will be a lot of rare titles that haven't been seen at an auction in decades. Some are fully working. Some are repairable and/or restorable. Some are only good for parts. ALL are honestly photoed, described, and videoed so that bidders can see everything possible to make a good bidding decision. These items have come from a wide variety of sources so look at each game you are interested in carefully with fresh eyes. Just because one game is a water damaged junker doesn't mean the next one is.
All items are sold as-is, where is. Must be paid for in full before removed from the building. Buyers can arrange a pickup time anytime before April 4th. We will gladly help load. Anything not picked up by April 4th will be considered abandoned and be re-sold at the next arcade auction. Sales tax of 6.75% collected on anything picked up or shipped to addresses in IL, unless a tax-exempt certificate is provided. There will be no handling fee for pickups or shipping large freight items as long as you make all arrangements and all we have to do is meet the shipper for pickup. We will not palletize items, so we recommend North American Van Lines for shipping. NAVL Shipping quotes can be obtained us or by you by emailing coinop@beltmann.com and giving them a description of the item, the pickup zip code (61723) and your delivery zip code. We get no better pricing than you do, so get quotes yourself, or feel free to ask us to get quotes if you prefer. You can also call NAVL at 800-959-8880. You can email us at vintagevideogames.com@gmail.com. We will be happy to arrange shipping of games and other large items for you, but for a $10 per item handling fee (our time is precious). Regarding parts and other non-game items: some extremely difficult-to-package items may have a higher handling fee, and this will be disclosed in the description of that item. If there is no handling fee mentioned in the description, it will be the default $10. For this fee, shipping of UPS-able items will be well packaged and shipped for you via UPS, USPS, or FedEx, whichever is cheapest. Shipping charges for these items must be prepaid by you. If the item is a large freight item, we will make all arrangements for you for this $10 handling fee. You will be responsible for actual shipping charges in addition to the handling fee. Shipping charges for freight items will be C.O.D. (If NAVL allows. I had a few cases recently where they told me they no longer allowed COD and in those cases, shipping charges will need to be prepaid).
Your bid must adhere to the bid increment schedule.
