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

For Sale
@radiantsvgun, yup. Same, same. Hope whatever suitable replacement is ubiquitous. Soon as word drops on this, I hope we aren't gouged, like what happened with the Zenith K7000A flybacks.

If the suitable replacement can only be sourced from overseas, I volunteer to organize a US group buy (for lack of a better term) and distribute the FB's to everyone. Should save us some dough over individual shipping from overseas. I have earned some cachet in organizing these things. Someone in Canada should pick up the the mantle for our friends in Canada too.

Since I'm the cause of the mess I'll volunteer. I'm close enough to the boarder to save on the initial shipping cost to Canada
 
For clarification I'm not organising a group order or distributing these flybacks, I merely posted information to try and negate incompatible flybacks from being fitted and damaging these dead chassis further.

I would strongly recommend shipping the dead chassis to Grant ( @gunblade ) or some other professional to have it repaired/serviced properly.

The chassis performs as well as the original but the width capacitor did have to be changed so that narrow games (CPS3, etc) will fill the screen. Everything else is great, colour, geometry, etc...

My chassis has been running for ~16hours without issue. I'll post some pics of the flyback this afternoon.

I know all the guys here with dead chassis (myself included) will want to get our hands on one. Hopefully Grant will post here with his findings. Sorry if the earlier post seemed like we were jumping on you for a GB, its just excitement.
 
Yeap, got professionals ready to repair the WII chassis. Just need the flyback. As for group buy thing, just a suggestion for us in the US to work together to source them is all. No one was being volunteered. More info on the width cap used on your chassis once you post those pics.

Question: have you tried 31khz on the chassis with the replacement FB yet?

Not personally as I don't have any 31k games at hand. My Type X2 & Naomi are still boxed up after moving house but it is known to work.

Image of flyback. This is the only writing on it as far as I can see.

Ah ok.

But which store in Spain you mean? I know there is a Spanish manufacturer of flybacks where I bought one for a Sony PVM
Www.hrdiemen.com

Perhaps they have what you guys need if you provide the needed specs

Nah, this was an eBay seller that appears to have bought a metric fuck ton of those 2931 flybacks from China and was moving them for a sizeable profit.
 
Put me down on the list of those needing a replacement for the Windy2. My W2 is dead just like the rest ||

I held onto my tosh just in case something like this happened. Eager to know if the picture quality is better or worse than the nanao.

It’ll be interesting to hear if anyone can do a comparison for the tosh and nanao chassis’

Seeing yosai’s repaired cab in the flesh, I couldn’t notice any difference in pic quality between his and my own cab with original flyback. Hard to tell without having them side by side though.

Almost done with me Egret 2 restore. I'll post pictures in a separate thread. Same as with the Q25 restore which turned my rust and mold-ridden cab into a gorgeous show piece. But I need help to finish my E2.

My E2 did not have these labels on it. Can someone show me where they are supposed to be?

@Mitsurugi-w - If I remember correctly, it's on the back, above the service entry. I'll check mine after work just to be 100% sure.
 
The red and white sticker goes on the coin box.
