What's new

FS Egret 2/Windy 2/NNC/Q25 (Repair refund)

For Sale
Much better eye than I have. Didn't notice the chassis number in the pictures I took. So the chassis is likely stuck in some unknown resolution until it gets the proper remote board.
 
its got a toshiba pb7534-1 with a toshiba pb7534-2 remote board

:(
That combination sounds about right. The Windy has a PB6643-1 chassis, a PB6643-2 remote board and PB6644 neck board.
Everything I'd run into shows dipswitch settings on the remote board to change resolutions, as others have also mentioned in this thread. And there are no dipswitches on this remote board.
 
Apologies, I misread that the entire monitor was swapped out and thought it was just the remote board.

Who knows! It's a mystery!

Won't really be able to do much of anything else until the PSU gets dealt with, so I guess we will see what happens!
 
@nem here's the rotating mech. Super simple, just four rollers at the back of the tube and two handles on the frame.

Hopefully someone can ID the chassis by eye? I can't seem to find a model number or brand written on it.

Nice.

I'm gonna guess the chassis is a Toei. It looks original, so that's good. More than likely very bespoke, so you'll need to get it fixed. However, I just looked through the pics that Yaton sent and he has pics of the cab working. It's the same cab, I'm sure.

Remove the chassis. Check the fuse. Go over the solder work, apply solder to joints that look cracked or dry. Put it back in, double check all connectors. Wiring from chassis to neck board, neck board seated good on the neck, dag line to neck board, anode cap to tube, both yoke leads to chassis, wiring from remote control to chassis, power input to chassis. Turn it on. Hopefully you will get a glow in the neck. You can turn voltage on the flyback so you get a visible raster on screen.
 
It looks like it has independent power supplies for 3.3V, 5V and 12V that have their grounds tied together. It's a smart design, not complex at all. There's an audio amp at the back.

If someone takes measurements of the PSUs you could see if there's drop in replacements for them. Connectors look like JST VH, which is what's used on many open frame Mean Well PSUs.
