I always use Fluke, you should get one for under 200 USD.

So tried on my Supergun, worked fine and did an update - all and plugged in the Windy, and guess what ..? Yes all worked perfect been on and playing for the last few hours with no issues. I think the debug option would be great, wouled be very useful.

The odd thing is it’s worked fine for a couple of months and been in and out of the Windy to do updates etc.. the wiring is fine, I have a 1 slot MVS in the cab that would be coining up if that was the issue. I have a supergun I can try it on later, will update. Will check for Chamma too. Thanks.

I have got the same issue, all worked fine but unplugged for a couple of weeks and now buttons don’t work and I can see on the expander display that I am getting phantom coin1 inputs every second or so, like it’s pulsing - my cab us a Windy 1. plan to do a new flash card for it and see if that...

Did you happen to make a list of caps for the Windy power supply? I need to do mine soon. Cheers 🍻

Which multi, I didn’t realised they saved the settings.

See post above from Nem, that has a link to the part.

I was using a Weller desoldering station yesterday, did a recap on a Toshiba monitor approx 50 caps without needing to unblock the nozzle or empty the glass solder tank. really nice bit if kit. https://grovesales.co.uk/weller-wr2000d-desolder-station/

You ain’t bovvered, that’s a shame will look a bit weird, swapping the fly back is 10 minutes work if you find the right part.

It’s not dangerous to put in a smaller fuse but as it’s rated lower it may blow, you need to get a 4 amp fuse.

Yes looks like a couple of strands broken, I would cut, strip and resolder.

Buttons and sticks are cheap and easy to get, screens and control panels not so much.

I would check a few to make sure you get one with the best screen, also the control panel is important to get one you like or expect to spend a £100 more on a reproduction. you buying from Mo? He’s a good guy. As above I would ask the guy to plug in the X3 so you test, I have a similar cab...

Thanks, what I want to do is try the Toshiba PB chassis with the Matsushita tube.

My Inductance meter arrived and I am reading on the 2 yoke coils. Looks pretty close to the Toshiba tube, so looks like I just need to change the heater resistor value on my Toshiba chassis..? Any idea which one? Matsushita M68JUA068X 6.9 Ohms 0.26 Ohms 12.8 mH 0.32 mH
