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

For Sale
Domy has a 33" monitor, correct? Does it have a bezel that requires a specific curvature? And what tube and make of chassis is in there? Reason I was is that I have a 33" Neo-tec that might be a spare.

The Universals I have are sit-down. If you're in San Diego, then you're DEFINITELY way closer to Kou, I actually can't compare to that. I can deliver to LA for around $150, but my driver doesn't go to San Diego. Since you're that close to him, I'd say he'd actually be good for you, trying to buy from him without going to see them yourself is a horrible idea, but if you can, it's pretty /thumbsup. Recommend you go check out his instead

33" yes.

Unlike the E2/Windy/etc, it has a shroud like an Aero City (molded thing plastic), so adapting to any other curvature could be relatively easily adapted to.

Not sure on the tube yet (haven't removed it from the rotation mech), but the chassis is a Taxan GNN-33J which the internet seems to believe is a rebranded Nanao 33" chassis.

Alright, if my Dynamo Showcase is kaput due to rain, the 33" Neo-tec is yours.

I mean, I don't want your showcase to be dead. But in the event that it is, thank you!

If you'd like I think I have at least one more complete MS2934 still in storage (operating condition unknown, but no or minimal burn). You're welcome to it if it'll be of any help. I know it fits in the Windys and Blasts.

Can probably do better at Genesis if needed
 
Mine from not his order even is missing a translite. I'd take anything really. That guy hasn't seemed responsive about selling one or anything so I'll probably wait until acblunden2 or I figure out something

What part of "they don't fit the curve" do you guys not get. I'd rather have a scanned print on overhead paper stick in there then this thing.

I had to look at the picture more closely to see what your talking about and ya i can see it pealing from the ends as its not the right curve.

But still better than none for some folks ;)
Hoping @acblunden2 project turns out nice for them E2 owner, really filling a gap here bro!

From talking with @'Cereth'' and his friend, my buddy and the graphic artists that work with him, and the more I think about the task, casting a resin mold is the way to go for the panel blank. Vaccuum forming printed plastic for the art work. Finally fusing them together should get us a faithful long lasting reproduction.

The panel that Rg111 loaned is not going to work however; it is too damaged to be the template to make a cast of. I do have my E2 panel in tact. I'll look and see if there is a way to remove it without damaging it. But the best bet is a fella in my area that has a blank. But poor guys is going through issues with having loaned out his stuff for reproduction and is in a bad situation from that. Might have to wait on that for a bit until he is comfortable with loaning it out. So marathon on this one fellas, not a sprint.

In the meantime, I am going to do two things:
  1. Look to repro the art faithfully
    • My buddy's business has some really good pro artists that can do the work (this part I am least worried about)
  2. Practice the resin casting process with my NNC illuminated panel
    • That I believe comes out with screws
    • By default, that is orange in color
    • I want to produce a clear one for my personal use which I will illuminate with RGB LED lighting
    • Having been an Astro City owner for so long, I like that green glow and maybe having an option on switching up the lighting color depending on the game
    • Any work here, will be posted on the NNC thread for
 
Well, what you'd have to do is cast a mold, make something out of it, and get that shaped properly, then make a mold of THAT. Or, if we can borrow one of the NOS ones, either way
 
Nice, not an E2 owner myself but would be all over this if I was!

Regarding the NNC panel, that should be red, Net City is orange

Unless yours is already loose I seriously wouldn't try. I was fortunate enough to buy one new from Taito when I had an E2 around 10 years ago and there was absolutely no chance of the original coming out in one piece. Even if it had it wouldn't have been good for much other than measurements due to how brittle it had become.
