A quick question, are the magnets more to correct the tube or the yoke?
Mostly for the yoke, because of the shape of the glass might have a curvature that the yoke can’t properly direct the color beams onto without some help.A quick question, are the magnets more to correct the tube or the yoke?
Yeah I was wondering why it looked different than the ones in my Astro City’s.The yoke you are using was made for ms9-29SU Hitachi tube, this tube is more flat than Toshiba one and also the H stage was modified accordingly, the difference is not big but enough to have a not perfect geo and convergence, the best you can do there, is find an ms9 yoke for Toshiba set.
Maybe you do not need an ms9 yoke for Toshiba tube, you can just use the same pb6643 yoke, you have to make an adapter for the H stage pin, this because in the pb6643 the H yoke is a small gauge... I have already tested this combo, no issue!Yeah I was wondering why it looked different than the ones in my Astro City’s.
Thanks for the info.
I’ll start searching for a MS9 yoke for the Toshiba tube.
In the meantime I’ll use this to get the cab finished and functioning.
yes, it's working now. But I will try to find the proper yoke so I can get better convergence, and put this one on my backup Hitachi tube.Maybe you do not need an ms9 yoke for Toshiba tube, you can just use the same pb6643 yoke, you have to make an adapter for the H stage pin, this because in the pb6643 the H yoke is a small gauge...

Yes, the Windy and Windy II both have pearlescent White paint from the factory.I think it's awesome, so the Konami windy was pearl white and not simply white?
I would've told the salesman: "I highly doubt they use spray paint to paint a Lexus".The painters said this is the same pearl white they use to paint Lexus'.
It wasn't a rattle can job, this multi-stage automotive paint though a gun. Hence the comment about Lexus.I would've told the salesman: "I highly doubt they use spray paint to paint a Lexus".
That being said, I think this is one of the best spray paint jobs I've seen. What brand was this?
Also, who did you buy your repro art from? I got a Windy 2 that could use some paint and some side art.
I ordered from Arcade Art Repro all the way over in the Netherlands. Waiting on Side Art, Coin insert decal, and Instruction space art.Also, who did you buy your repro art from? I got a Windy 2 that could use some paint and some side art.
I spent a lot of time sanding, polishing, re-sanding, polishing. But it's in good shape for now. I could probably spend a bit more time on it to get it perfect. I might do one more session on it since there are a couple small areas that could use a bit more polishing.I tried a few passes with novus 1-2-3 and it looked better, but I still decided to paint it.
