Man, I fully set you up for free credit. Let's try that again:
Thats some top tier crating there @[i]@rewrite[/i]
Thats some top tier crating there @[i]@rewrite[/i]
After trying three different fluorescent bulbs and a replacement starter, I finally gave up on my original ballast. It's too warped/loose and impossible to get the pins to seat right on both sides.
My LED lamp seems to be fine with the 100v step down. I screwed the old brackets right into the case, and added some bolts to the inside. Seems stable. Very happy with it! $15 on sale at home depot. (Don't mind the tape on the sides of the marquee...)
So I decided to follow @ekorz lead and got the same LED strip from Home Depot. Installation was a breeze with moving the brackets over from the original ballast.
Going to zip tie the cables down neatly like the speaker wires are done stock. It's great to finally see the illumination panel lit up!
@acblunden2 I guess PNL couldn't locate a replacement flyback for your PB7534?
I wonder what the chances are they take the same flyback as the Nanao MS2930/MS2931?
If those Chinese repro MS2931 flybacks actually work, maybe they could potentially be used to fix our original Tosh chassis.

Right on, I'm thinking of sending one of the Chinese MS2931 flybacks along with my PB7534 back to Sharp and see if they can give it a shot. I don't know much about the specifics of flyback design, but given that the MS2930/MS29311 is a drop in replacement chassis for the same tube and yoke, I would guess that the flyback is probably pretty similar.
Got a dead MS2931 I will also send them and they can put it in that instead otherwise.
Will await your findings with the Chinese MS2931 FB's and the PB7534 then.
On another subject, @rewrite, what is the status of your Domy Theater chassis? Still stuck on sourcing that resistor?
Resistor found and replaced. Then replaced 2 HOTs.
One of the other transistors is dead, but there are like 8 different ones on the board. Tried the paper towel tube over the ear bit to try and narrow it down. Ordered a couple more, and am waiting again on the mail.
Sounds good, may take some time but I'll post back here with how it goes.
A replacement flyback for the Windy 2 PB7534 chassis has already been found. They're being soak tested at he moment.
Grant was sent three, two dead and one within an inch of it's life. He managed to source a suitable replacement before the third died.
My chassis was in a very bad condition prior to Grant servicing it. There should be hope for most if not all of the dead W2 chassis.

We might be needing 5 of them here in Montreal.
It would be very cool to build a partial reference file with all the IC's location (Q123 for ex), capacitor specs (bipolar? low esr?), manufacturer part number and description listed.

Great news. I'll be in for some if they end up being tested working. Now that my cabs at an arcade. I will need some spare

Yeah before everyone starts the horde, let the people who got taken for a ride by Yaton get replacements first.
Wow that's fantastic news. That list of repairs looks very similar to what Sharp Image Repair did with mine until they hit a roadblock with the flyback.A replacement flyback for the Windy 2 PB7534 chassis has already been found. They're being soak tested at he moment.

I'm sure it goes without saying but please put me on the list of interested parties. I'd be down for a minimum of 1-2 flybacks depending on availability.

Oh for sure. Nin working chassis 1st. I just assumed that the flyback were repro and not nos or pulled from other chassis.

Looks like shotgun repair to me, it's highly unlikely all those parts were bad.
can you put me down for a replacement chassis? another member of the non-working windy 2 group buy lolA replacement flyback for the Windy 2 PB7534 chassis has already been found. They're being soak tested at he moment.
