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.

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.
Hmm. I've never seen a cab with that decal on it. What does it say?

Well I have no alarm so I'll forego installing this decal. Plus its a bit ugly on the front there. Lol. I may just assume the other decal replaces the two beigh labels that I had above, on the left side of the back door. Maybe just a fancier updated decal than what I had.
It reads something along the lines of 'This machine is alarmed'

Thanks. I used that google translate app 
So this not good idea and shouldn't work like that without finding specific for voltages specs from various flyback windings and pins. When they say "nope it's bad it's shorted" they are hopefully testing and pulling to verify. Do shorted turn on winding test with Ringer and if they have hi pot check winding to winding leakage.
The original fly should be easy enough to very if it's shorted though like they say. Here I'll show you quickly.
Pull fly ring test notice bottom machine reads 32 (good). This is what you want, no shorted internal windings on my fly
Then to verify proper reading you create short winding on the core and check again. Now you see he reads only 3 echos (rings) before reduction to less than 25% signal level (aka bad from shorted winding). You test on the primary pins, that will be sufficient. Any of the secondary winding at all shorted, ones even isolated from primary and the magnetic energy on coil shorts.
You can easy create your own short around the transformer core. Which is what I did to show you "bad"reading... And at the same time verify my good reading.
@yosai, are we going to get an announcement anytime soon on identification of the suitable replacement flybacks for the Windy II/Toshiba PB7534-1 flybacks?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.
Can you ask him?
I spoke with Grant about the flybacks and he's not interested in selling them at this time. He has some limited stock for his own repairs (he runs a repair service) but when he approached his supplier about obtaining more and possibly selling them to us, they doubled the price on him.
He said if he's able to renegotiate a reasonable price with the supplier he might reconsider selling the flybacks on their own. If you have a PB7534 with a bad flyback I'd recommend sending your chassis out to him for repair.
I haven't received mine back yet, but Grant has been great to work with and was able to revive my chassis this week. Best way to reach him is on Arcade Otaku, username grantspain.

Grant is an absolute legend! His DNA is on every one of my chassis (9).
He's also recapped every PSU in my cabs. Can't imagine the hobby without him (personally).
