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

Then pray in the end the fit will be right. Those glued together pieces are slightly off. Rg111's panel will have its purpose as a reference for repro'ing the art.

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

From what 300wins tells me, NNC's with red panels came only with Tekken 5. Otherwise by default, they are orange.
 
I worked on some monitors this week. Here's a top tip, when you have the chassis out, give all the pots on the chassis some good full, end to end turns. If you have contact cleaner, spray that on all of the pots. I went through everything, the pots on the chassis for adjusting the image, the B+ pot, both focus and screen pots on the flyback, the pots on the remote. I had some weird things happen before this. Since the cabs had been stored in a damp environment many of the pots have oxidation or even corrosion. Turning them and dousing them with alcohol will hopefully break down whatever crud is between the resistance element and the wiper.

Naturally, for things like the B+ pot, you want to make note of the original position very carefully.
 
EVERYONE IS HERE!

Cereth delivered me a 2nd NNC from the group buy. Pretty much the same condition as the first one. This one however isn't showing any RED.

Will swap out VGA cables and take things from there. Cap it if necessary. Hoping it isn't the tube. But if after some trouble shooting the basics and easy stuff, I can pull the chassis from my first NNC to test if it is the tube. Hoping it is anything but the tube. Wish me luck (fingers crossed).

Oh, and only 69 accepted coins in this one. Interesting number, yeah? :).

sir you can do tests without change chassis over. First if you have tube tester obviously best for getting emission reading from cathode. That will show exact strength (ie B&k 467,490, sencore c70, etc). If you don't have You can still check tube gun working by power up Mon and ground cathode on neckboard for whichever colour. Connect red cathode to ground for a few second and whole tube will turn red. Make sense? That will show problem is either on tube (no colour show up) or chassis (colour show up). you essentially bypass chassis issue doing that. From there if problem on chassis would definitely start check colour drive transistor on neckboard. There will 3 with heatsink. R,G,B. You can test with multimeter on diode check. IF no multimeter can easily swap all three around to see if problem move. for instance take red and green swap. Now red work but no green? colour drive transistor :-).

Thanks sir. Got lucky. Best case scenario came to fruition.

Removed back panel, unplugged VGA cable, connected one of the extra VGA cables from rat's nest that came with the NNC's in the group buy, connected the other end to the NAOMI, and boom! Red is back in business. Will route a new VGA cable this weekend to get all squared away.

Thanks again @XeD, another happy customer.
 
..........and my buddy (not a forum member but the same guy that lent the receiving dock in Fremont, CA) was delivered the final two NNC's from the US group buy. Thanks @Cereth!

Of those two cabs, one cab worked perfectly. Only 24 coins on the counter. The other cab, the Sun PSU is dead. I suspect it is a cold solder joint because the counter only showed 16 coins and these babies have been sitting for years. And if it isn't, will take care of it out of pocket. To test the monitor on the cab with the dead PSU, we stuck the two cabs right next to each other, drew power for a NAOMI from the working NNC, then fed AV and JVS to the NNC with the dead PSU (weird that JVS still worked even though the PSU was dead??). Image was jaw dropping on both cabs. Both cabs had Toshiba tubes and Sanwa PFX chassis. NNC's were really the barn yard find in this group buy.

Hope things work out in the end for everyone else. Thanks again @XeD!
 
I was suppose to buy one of these NOS but got sniped :(

Hopefully next time you guys come to Seattle you have some NNC. My friend got his Blast and seem really happy with it, they were able to deliver it in this crazy ass snow storm.

OH GOOD, I didn't hear anything yet. I've been concerned about candies lately because too many are having monitor problems when they get out there. I'm actually halting sales for now until I figure out exactly what to do.

Will be posting pictures of a few of my personal cabs off the last container soon! Mainly pretty excited about Virtual-On and Dragonball Zenkai Battle Royale. Neither really quite working yet. EDIT: oh this is the group buy not recent purchases thread lol

Same here, my NNC has 40 on the coin counter and it's in overall really great shape.
 
They have arrived!

Everything seems to be in good condition. I have not unwrapped them but a cursory look-over sees no major shipping damage (if any). The only 'maybe' to shipping damage is one of the side control panel plastic pieces on the Q25 has the corner broke off. The piece isn't in the wrapping or on the truck that delivered it so not sure if it was damaged in transport or if it was that way already. Anyone happen to know of one of those pieces laying around somewhere?

I'll unwrap everything and give them a better look over later today.
