What's new

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

For Sale
First Egret 2 tested this morning:

- Looks nicer than the other two posted.
- I get 0.1v on the 5v and no reading on 12v. PSU is toast
- The monitor shoots a solid white line along the top of the tube.
- minor burn, I can't imagine it'll be visible during gameplay
White mold!

The Windy

- Looks okay.
- Burn is... Pretty there in the sunlight. Will probably be pretty there during game play. Couldn't see it in the warehouse. Maybe it'll be okay?
- Nothing on hand to test with because I forgot it's JVS.
- Gets the right voltages out of the PSU at least.

Second Egret 2

- Rust in a few spots. Not minor but not by any means ruined
- super fuzzy printing on a peeling rusted through panel
- Dead PSU
- Minor burn
- white mold!
- definitely the worse of the two cosmetically, but it'll clean up eventually I'm sure.

Q25 and Domy info to come sometime in the next day or so.

Moving the other E2 outside and into my pickup to go to storage and will update the post with that info after. Q25 and Domy info to come sometime in the next day or so.

I'm really curious on your Domy. Have you had a chance to mess with it yet?
 
Not yet. I haven't even unwrapped it yet. I still have to get the three other cabs to storage and then return the truck a few cities over later. Then when I get home if I have any energy left I'll absolutely be unwrapping it and checking it out.

I was getting over being sick, and 24 hours plus up for the trip up there and back definitely set me back a little. We'll get there though!

The Q25 looks very good as a restore candidate. Lot of rust on the bottom and on the kick plate, but it'll do.
 
Thing is, the price is still an okay price for what these cabinets are. If any of us should grow so upset with the cabinets enough, selling them down the line probably will not be too hard.
 
TBH the condition I've seen so far is pretty much what I expected. I knew there was no way any machine was NOS and no one stores pristine cabinets for decades in a rundown dusty warehouse.

So I'm not disappointed at all with what I've seen. Now the non-working PSUs should not be happening. I agree with that.
 
The mold is the part that's less okay. It's something that needs to be mentioned by the seller (Yaton). The stench out of this cab is pretty real.

Is the mold embedded in the rotation mech wood as well?? I might have to get that part along with the pcb holder remade.

Maybe someone should do a run of these if they have a CNC machine or is darn good with a router.
 
It might be a good idea to document the issues with each cab and include it's serial number when presenting it to Yaton.
 
can any monitor fit in a windy2 if its same size or not really as it depends on neck size.

When the psus fixed it depends if my monitor is bad or not if ill through a different crt in it.
 
Yeah, there's simply no way if we're at 3 dead PSU's that the E2s were tested at all. One failed in 20ish, maybe? Three just in transportation? No way.

I don't agree on the price being good for what they are, at least on the E2's (and the Windy I've seen is.. Worse.). And that's fine. I'm from SoCal and my prices frequently don't matter, ha. It's just my take. Nothing against XeD.

I ended up taking theoddtech's E2 when he was going to have to back out. I'll be happy to have another E2 in the end, but I'd have been hesitant to buy it under other circumstances at that price in this condition. If I had to have it shipped I'd definitely be upset because it's not a 1600+ cab under any circumstance. It'll clean up nice in the end I'm sure, but it'll be an effort and money and I have another six projects before it.

FWIW I feel like I stole the Q25 though. It could have cost 4x as much and I'd still have bought it. I'm so unbelievably happy to have finally obtained it. And for it to be so cheap is amazing. Even if some parts do need work.

Agree. So who will be performing full restore jobs? repaint, etc..

Me! I'm going to get the metal repainted and rechrome the Q25 and Aero Table at the same time.

Probably redo the E2s too.

Also, I already have the rotation mech wood panel dimensions. Remind me after tomorrow and I'll find it on my server. I need to get 30-40 of these cut anyway.
 
nothing here frightens me except the mold. I don’t want to take this inside my home and have my kid play with it until that’s solved. I’ve never dealt with it in a cab before... If someone can post a good de-molding guide I’d appreciate it a whole lot.
