Whew! Finally all caught up! lol I was behind about 4 or 5 months with your videos. But all good now and I'll try to keep up from this point moving forward. You have such a positive attitude and make the videos enjoyable to watch! I'm so anxious to get my Ridge Racer together! I got it for $299 from Best Buy during Black Friday week. I was so happy when the price dropped on that cabinet! I'm going to enjoy it in stock form. Then make it my ultimate racing cabinet! I might do that board mod to try out firs (which has a ton of racing games built in and it should be a plug and play deal) But I'll probably do that before throwing a PC in it. Well see what happens. lol

I just assembled mine Wednesday. It seems to have one of the best (if not the best) build quality of all my arcades. The only issue has been my y-splitter cable was defective so the marquee and J-panel don’t light up together (they work separately if you plug them directly into the pcb). They were very responsive and are sending me a new cable. Loving it otherwise.

Great review and arcade Jason! I also bought this cab around the holidays. I've been going back and forth on scooping mk30th to have the trilogy but after having Golden tee 3d in my arcade I can't justify buying another cab with a TN monitor without a major price drop.

Although I'm terrible at fighters, the Midway Legacy collection is stuffed with some of my all-time favorite games so I was trying to decide which to get when I stumbled across a deal for this one for $199.

The Umk3 cabinet is really nice Jason! I can see why you picked this one up at $299 as the visuals and the quality of the overall cabinet is really good. The light up front panel(where the controls are at) is an amazing touch that adds to the overall cabinet appearance which Ac1up needs to have more on for legacy cabinets, etc. Just as you have stated, I wish that the games lineup was a bit different excluding the Mortal Kombat games but overall I think that it's a nice addition to the 3rd floor arcade. Now would you sell off the other Mk cabinet or will you keep it with the Umk3 cabinet? Keep the reviews coming as I still enjoy your content on this channel! Take care Jason!

Not only that, I can actually buy the real deal full size working arcade machine for $1200, again locally. I left that initial comment BEFORE I knew wth I was even talking about. That UMK3 Arcade 1 up machine looks good to the eyes. Other than that, it sucks.

Great looking cab. Only real knock on any of the MK/SF cabs is that they're a bit too small for 2 bigger guys to comfortably play against each other, and as you mention, they're too short. I do wish that the hidden characters were unlocked as it's pretty hard to unlock them otherwise. Funnily enough, the game I end up playing the most on the MKII cab is TAPPER, because the controls are perfect for it. Great video as always brother!

Thanks dude, I really appreciate you checking out the video! Tapper does play really good on there, I’m a big fan of that game too.

Hoping for a Street Fighter Alpha pro series specifically. 👍

Do yourself a favor and get the 4" riser booster from Buy Stuff Arcades. Brings the cab up to perfect height and fits very nice. I guess A1Up never stood in front of their cab creation SMH FFS LOL. I own the MKII Legacy (My favorite midway MK cab). Purchased it for $199 without custom riser or light up marquee. Made total sense for me personally because I feel A1Up butchered the light up marquee on that cab. Also I hate the wings look. So I knew I was replacing that immediately anyway. After some add-ons I now have a MKII cab that I wanted from the start. Gonna make a vid sometime soon. Yes this is a nice cab. I would get the AGF delux marquee (it's a absolute homerun IMO) and the booster for sure though. That's just me though. Good stuff J..Enjoy! my man
