I have a couple Astro City cabs. One of them just went through a complete re-capping as well as some work to fix the vertical display, as it was all crammed tightly in the middle of the screen. This turned out to be very expensive to repair and included me having to transport the cab to and from the repair shop (the vertical had been working if you gave it time to warm up and tapped on it, but then that stopped working). My other cab is now experiencing some flickering if you hit the buttons or stick hard (can happen during normal play) or if you tap on the side, and then this goes away after several minutes of warm-up time. I'm sure this is repairable, but I'm wary of doing another expensive job when perhaps replacing the chassis would solve everything. With recapped/tested/working chassis available on Ebay in the $125 range, this seems like perhaps the more sensible thing to do.
With that being said, based on what I can see on Ebay, there are several different chassis available for my monitor (it is definitely Nanao, but I actually need to determine if it is MS8 or MS9). My question here is, is there a way I can figure out what the correct chassis to buy would be? There are many sub-models and I am concerned about getting the right one. Would there be a specific one for an Astro City? Or do I need to open it up and look for stamps/decals? Any guidance would be very helpful!
thanks
