Sorry it took a while everyone ! I have moved to the USA from Canada and uprooted my whole collection and equipment... took a while to settle in, start my new job, get an apartment and familiarize myself with everything !

I'm still waiting on the 5 pin connectors for +12V otherwise everything's looking good ! 100% solderless solution for Windy2 cab owners... my I/O board was defective so I replaced it with a Sega one and created a harness to hookup all the inputs, 6 buttons (normal+kick), coin slot, start buttons and power.

Did these all sell out in the end @SnakeGrunger?
 
Hey guys, I have a windy 2 from this buy that a friend gave me. The monitor had neck glow but only showed a blue horizontal line in the middle. After a full cleanup and recap of the chassis I managed to get full deflection blue screen. It turned out about 3 times then stopped. It would just make a whining sound and click, from what I gather the flyback went and took the hot with it. I sourced a flyback l, hot, and transformer by the hot since it was clicking also. Just curious if anyone that has gotten their pb7534 working knows if there is any other parts I should replace before attempting to power it back on?. I also recapped the small hv board since I heard 293x have that board and when the caps go out of spec they kill tubes. Any advice is appreciated, I have a 2933 to put in there but I rather get the original Toshiba chassis working.

@ShootTheCore gave me the great general advice to replace the voltage regulator and vertical deflection IC on a monitor chassis. Not sure if yours needs this given that you’ve already got it to power on and it didn’t seem like those parts were bad.

The short answer- no. I revived mine with a replacement flyback, but when I changed all the caps, it died again. One of my friends had the same experience, it’s really difficult to keep these semi curved Toshibas running- only ones I know still working are the 9430s. Lots of things go wrong in the 7534, from flyback to I/C, to even film caps. It’s not Toshibas best chassis by any means.

so you're telling me no one has revived and has one still working?

My PB7534 Windy 2 chassis was revived by Grantspain and is still working 4 years later.

Sure, but that man's a mad scientist genius when it comes to monitors. That doesn't count :P

For real though, mind sharing with the class?

Sounds like luck that yours is working then if so many others have also replaced their flybacks and caps with no luck. :/

I would like to know what he did to the half a dozen others though.
