BSIDE ESR02 PRO- cheap tool recommendation
It really opened my eyes. I had thought that regular, good quality brand name caps (like Nichicon or Panasonic) have at least as good ESR as something that has been in use for 20 or 25 years in a power supply circuit. Same capacitance, equal voltage rating or higher, that's all you need?
Wrong. Over the years I've actually put worse caps in than I have taken out. Oops.

Industry typically refers to these as low impedance, high frequency, long life for their series. Some will actually say "For switching PSUs". You can also cross reference the existing caps to get the newer series equivalents as well.
Personally, most of these cabs being 20+ yrs old, PSUs and amps, I replace everything as OPs rarely did this. I also use dial calipers to get equivalent package sizes and lead widths.
With sound amps, I also check Cap series, as good designs use better quality audio capacitors.
May sound silly, but its just my method. Some just grab all ESRs and go, sometimes getting the wrong package sizes...
Yaton parted out at least one of the remaining Q25s:

Humbug, I wish I had known he still had two cabs when I made my offer.

Thanks, I'll edit my post. Just going on what he has these listed as.
Jan posted a means of removing the yellowed spray paint from the E2 cabinets here: https://forum.arcadeotaku.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=39265
From his pics it looks to work pretty well!

Thanks boss. Nail polish remover was the remedy (AKA: 100% pure acetone). Sold near the nail polish at Walmart. It's about $3.50 for a small bottle.
Surprise, you don't actually need any keys to pull part a Madonna, which is nice. Didn't have to wait for the lock pick from China.
I'm really liking the look of these cabs. I was initially thinking I might just sell the three to get some funds to work on the MAS cabs, but I'm having second thoughts.
Not to say that these would have been an easy sell. Here's what I was greeted with when opening the CP enclosure:
The actual CP is surprisingly nice. Shame that some dolt had to punch a fourth button hole in the panel.

Working on trying to get caps for this psu, and navigating digikey is cumbersome. If anyone makes a shareable parts list in the meantime, let me know. I've only used pre-made kits before, so this is new territory to me.
Also, has anyone else from East Coast gotten their cabinets yet?

can someone tell me what locks and keys are original to windy2 and egret2
Taito still sells the E2/3/Vewlix locks brand new at 5200JPY for a set of 5. Key is another 9 or 10 bucks.
ok I can get those just need a key
@Hatsune Mike, in case you need a local source when you make your PCB. I swooped these up from Anchor Electronics here in San Jose for $1 a bag. They had the 13-postion connector (2pcs/bag) for the Egret II PSU but not the 3 position connector. The 3 position connector's spacing is exactly twice the spacing on the 13-pos connector, so I think I will just pull pins and hack up one of the connectors for the 3 position connector. They have the right angle versions too. Also, swooped up the 6-position JST connector for 15khz connection on the NNC.
Also, HSC Electronics closed up for good this past Saturday.

I hope all goes well for the East Coast this weekend.

What are some good tips for storing cabs in freezing temps?

be proud boys and girls I did my first recap on blast sound amp and replaced fan.
