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

For Sale
Anyone need caster wheels for their egret2? These are used but I cleaned them up mostly. Ended up getting new ones though so I’ll sell them for cost of shipping. I have new bolts too.

I'll still have several sets; the minimum order was 50. So I should have 36 left (assuming the bag actually had 50). How many do you need?

I'll buy a set for 2 cabs please, so thats 32 bolts?! Just PM how much $$ to send ya :) I bought new casters and forgot the bolts X/
 
I can take some photos and measurements if you want. I got them from Taito directly since he had them, and it saved me from hunting for others with the same spacing.

I did turn up the model number on some international site (OEM in Malaysia I think?) but there weren’t ordering options I could navigate. Probably where taito gets them, but not something a consumer could buy. I’ll try to find that link if you want.

Taito charged me 2000y for a bag of 50 bolts and 2400y for each pair of casters (one fixed one rotating). Highway robbery? I don’t care at this point. This is the Egret 2 of Theseus.

where did you get new E2 casters? I'm hoping they're the same as the E29 as I need new ones for my cabs. as half of them are bent to crap from mishandling during transport.

I think they might be.

Taito has them for sure.

Here is how they measure out:

The wheels are 50mm wide

The total height is 65mm

Hole pattern (measured center to center):
Long side:56mm
Short side:28mm


Misumi might carry compatible casters

FYI to anyone that got an NNC from this group buy. I found some non-superficial ravaged the parts that might make some functionality troublesome:
  • The marquee lights were removed and replaced with some cheap under the cabinet light
    • What is left is functional, but the OG one is positioned much closer to the bottom edge of the marquee holder and illuminates it better. Here is a pic of what the OG lamp fixture looks like:
    • nncmarqueelight.jpg
  • And most importantly, check the upper cross bar on your monitor mount. The OG NNC mounting bolt is sort of open to air 3/4 of the way around it
Might not be the case with all these cabs. But my cabs were impacted as such. Check yours. You can order these parts from Videotronics.

I hit the yellow spots on the Egret II with acetone too. Here are some pics:

Tools of the trade:
  1. The 100% pure acetone sold at Walmart for $2.48 a bottle
  2. Some left over napkins from some fried chicken joint

This stuff is pretty caustic and I have seen it melt plastic. Don't apply directly to the cab. Use some sort of applicator and keep it localized to the area you are attacking. Once off, make sure you remove any residue as it will keep active until it is removed. I used a sponge and dish soap to scrub the spot. Napkins to remove the soap.

Very helpful post, thanks! I decided to give this a try on the coin box area of my E2 today.

I figured if something went horribly wrong the coin box could potentially be replaced down the line.

It's crazy how this stuff eats right through the paint. I recommend wearing some kitchen gloves or it will start bothering your hands pretty quick.

Before:

After some quick work (not done yet, I didn't want to go too crazy with it the first round):

I was mainly focused on the rattle can line going up the left side of the coin box to start.
