My buddy's company designs and produces packaging for some of the biggest companies in the world. So if anything was in prototype phase or pre-production, would be bad if their products that haven't hit the street yet show up on an internet forum. Some serious NDA's would be violated. They also produce corporate specialty items for whatever commemorative events such companies have.I gotta ask, what is the sensitive material at this shipping company? Is it just shipping containers filled with real dolls?
I was talking to Cereth and a faithful repoduction of that panel has been in the works for a while. Takes access to lots of specialty tools and skills to do repro such a thing. It just so happens my buddy has such resources and professional artists at his disposal who may be able to move the effort along. I'll talk to him about it when he gets back next month.So one of the E2s has a busted illumination panel, whos going to end up with that?
Okay..... I like to make everyone happy, but that is never going to happen. Now that you have seen pics and comments about the cab from people more knowledge then I. I'm going to do the following. This only affect mostly to the people in the US with E2 that have yet to pick up their cab.
1. The cab are going to be sold as is, except for in the case of non working psu or chassis
- In this case I will refund a portion for a generic psu of chassis repair
2. Anyone who don't like the looks or don't want to gamble on the cab. I will give you a full refund of your purchase and will pass it on to the next interested person. I apologize for wasting your time.
- Now if you paid me in Canadian your shit out of luck and will lose out on the 3% paypay charge for the conversion.
3. For those that picked up already. I will be talking to a few people to find out what is a fair refund. Again sorry for wasting your time
Now if someone drop out I will take the crack translite out of circulation, unless someone want it.
Edit:
Also note some of the E2 have repro panel. Have yet to confirm if it's just the overlay or the whole panel
Man, wish those guys were still in operation. I think they were the last US based shop doing this.Process of fixing necked tube is far too involved and costly for something as common as ms9. Only really makes sense for very rare vintage tubes for restoration. Just have to replace it.
edit: here you see process of involve.
The Windy doesn't have frame surrounding the tube but the tube mount does have handles making the removal process easy.. On the topic of necking tubes, to the people getting windy cabs be extremely cautious. You will not be rotating this monitor often. If you want to do it plan on keeping it that way for a very long time. there is no frame around the tube
That was for a NOS one iirc. Anyone paying that much for a used yellowed one is an idiot. Vast majority of them have yellowing simply due to the fluorescent lighting behind them cooking them.Tough to compensate a near irreplaceable $600-$800 part.
Auspiciously low.good luck. What does your coin counter read?
The rat's nest was just tossed in there. Wasn't wired to anything. But taking it out was akin to Alexander the Great's challenge of the Gordian Knot! I didn't want to rip something out that I shouldn't have so it took me 20 minutes plus this is my first experience with a JVS cab.I did a spit take.
.........@jugu is actually a good dude.That was for a NOS one iirc. Anyone paying that much for a used yellowed one is an idiot. Vast majority of them have yellowing simply due to the fluorescent lighting behind them cooking them.Tough to compensate a near irreplaceable $600-$800 part.
The NNC in 15khz blows all my other cabinets out of the water in every aspect. Sega Astro, blast, American cabinet w/ WG monitor, they just can't even compare to the NNC. The only problem with the NNC is it's awkward looking body style.I haven't yet seen this at 15khz. I have to sort through the rats nest and figure out wiring first. But man, if 15khz looks anything like 31khz............man, fuck the Egret II. I should have picked up two NNC's.
Yeah, the $800 one was NOS. I said that in a follow up post.That was for a NOS one iirc. Anyone paying that much for a used yellowed one is an idiot. Vast majority of them have yellowing simply due to the fluorescent lighting behind them cooking them.Tough to compensate a near irreplaceable $600-$800 part.
Same here, love the Toshi PF in 15K, even next to a MS9The NNC in 15khz blows all my other cabinets out of the water in every aspect. Sega Astro, blast, American cabinet w/ WG monitor, they just can't even compare to the NNC. The only problem with the NNC is it's awkward looking body style.I haven't yet seen this at 15khz.

I think you are right. Can't imagine how much better this can look. 300wins tells me the difference is the Sanwa is temperamental at 15khz with different sync standards from various boards. He says both have excellent image quality. He has both.I have a Toshiba chassis. I’ve never seen a Sanwa pfx in person, but I’ve heard nothing but good things about their picture quality. I strongly believe if you were to put the two monitors side by side though, the difference would be minimal
Man, when they told you NOS originally, I think they meant the NNC's. The barn-yard find, the diamond in the rough, the overlooked masterpiece that was won at minimum bid in the auction within this group buy was the NNC's. If you were one of the 9 that got one of the NNC's, you lucked out. 1,700 coins in mine. Your highest in the 3,000 range. These can't get any newer. Someone should buy all the rest of Yaton's NNC's.Looking good @acblunden2. of my NNC I think my lowest is the the 30s or 60s and my highest is in the 3k.
Blah, I think most of it was the 220v step-down AC wiring. I think those things can be tossed out. I'll figure out the JVS-to-JAMMA stuff eventually. But the value in it for me isn't high since I got a 15khz Egret II out of all of this.I don't really understand that rat nest because it took them like 3 days to convert them back to 110V..... I guess they took long coffee breaks haha
