Connecting new wires

New wires connected.  Also, my hobbit-like foot is seen.

Detaching old harness and securing kick harness

Had to desolder old harness off. Here's the progress:

How side looks now:

Some updates...

It's been a moment, but I've still been working on this machine.  I've decided to order a whole new Jamma harness for clean connections, some buttons, and some control panel clamps.  Also, I've continued to scrape away at the sides and now am even closer to a clean side than this picture represents:

Attaching Kick Harness and Soldering the Rest...

Although I'm considering getting a new jamma harness, I'm alright with just soldering the left over wires into the controls.

The kick harness plugged into the board and CP (Control Panel).

Simple iron from Radio Shack.

Soldered in place.

Need to solder the loose wires to the punch buttons.

Now we're kicking it.

Disconnecting the old wires.

Had to desolder again.

Got it off, that's it.

Time to scrape...

What I started with.

Using a hair dryer to warm up the vinyl.

Paint scrapper to get under the vinyl.

This took roughly 10 minutes.  It's going to be a lengthy process, one that I will not be doing in one sitting.

Adjusting the screen/yoke...

Here is the actual yoke of the monitor.  This is extremely dangerous and could be fatal if done incorrectly.  I was helped by an electrician using special gloves for this part of the project.  He turned the yoke until the image was no longer tilted.

Here are some thumb screws for screen adjustments.

More adjustments thumbscrews (horizontal/vertical position etc.)

It's not perfect but it's much better than it was.  I might adjust it at a later time, but I' happy with how it looks now.

Kick Button Harness is in!

Here is the kick harness.  I got it from jammaboards.com.  The Jamma board by default only supports 3 action commands and 1 continue button.  This is why Street Fighter needs to have a harness like this the get the extra kick buttons.  It is also why 2 buttons for each player were soldered onto the MK II board.

Here's the MK II board out of the case.

I've found that the wires I desoldered from the main MKII board are also soldered to the control panel as well.

Let's get the MKII board out of there.

Whoever installed this MK II board decided to solder the extra button wires into the board instead of getting an adapter.

Got the desolderer at Radioshack.

Careful... careful...

Here's how it looks.  Might clean it up more if I resell it.

SF2CE board installed.
