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

For Sale
The E2 doesn't do well with Moonwalker and a few other games because one of the JAMMA pins isn't wire for 5v that should be, as each of the previous three or four posts together add up to.

I'll second the original PSU not being that great.

My only real concern personally with having a dead PSU was that I didn't get to test the monitor. It gets static, doesn't whine like crazy. It's probably alright, but it'd be better to actually know it's alright.

So you guys with mold in your cabs, have you checked the speakers/speaker pods yet? Those are a prime location for mold to fester.

I didn't, but good call. I'll check when I get back to storage again.

When working perfectly, the Egret 2 power supply is not a very good power supply. It frequently runs high when not under high load, and yet sags very low when under a fairly high one (like Gradius II). To have so much variety in its 5V line is not the earmark of a very good power supply. Replacing it with a better one isn't a terrible idea, and even though I had an NOS power supply on my other Egret, I voluntarily did that by creating an adapter for the cabinet's wiring harness (no wire cutting!) For those with bad power supplies, consider it as an alternative.

Any way on improving the current stock ones? Maybe a recap, regulator upgrade, etc...?
 
The Vancouver stock of cabs are about the same for the exterior. Only 2 E2 and 1 Windy was test with a game board and those work. I was working close to my warehouse today, so I did a quick check on the cabs. I have rust and mold but nothing as bad as cereth yet. When I was unloading I thought the odd smell was from all the pallet and plywood holding the on monitors. Did not even think about mold. I would have stayed longer but my van is GPS track from work. The mold and the psu is my main issue with this shipment.

I have told Yaton about the issue, but I don't see him doing much in term of refunds. I'm sure he will have a talk with his worker/partner. And that is as far as it will go. Again I'm making a list of faults so pm me and I will take care of it in the new year.
 
Whoever asked about shipping out, nothing will make it out for the next week or two, holidays closing those lines to ship.

should be ms9 in chassis. Easy to plug power pins direct to wall 120v for check health. Can easily alligator clip to pins of you have no test connector. Will give you all most important info even no video in. Should be able to see preliminary b+ function, raster vertical retrace from screen volt, colour drives by short cathodes on neck, etc to give basic Mon health. If you have all those is safer assumption Mon is decent and if problem on video line would be not likely hard fix.
 
The speaker I pulled didn't have any mold, fortunately.

With the generosity of a friend I am back in business with a working tube (actually we upgraded my other Egret II's monitor, and took that one and trickled it down to this cabinet.)

Just need to get the CP in order and get the marquee lighting up.

More pics. The Domy, Windy, and one of the Egrets. I thought I took pics of both Egrets, but apparently not. This is definitely the better of the two E2's (minus the weird monitor line).

Edit: I'm an idiot, and that's okay.

I have a few spare 29" tubes in my storage. Hopefully one will fit the curvature of the Windy so 8bit has something better.

Domy
- It has the cup holder! I don't think any cups smaller than those GIANT old 100oz+ McDonald's cups would fit in there though, it's HUGE
- Minor rust through-out
- Real nice CP
- Monitor is 100% burn-free
- Some sticker peeling around the CP area.
- PCB holder has some mold, rest of the cab does not
- Overall nicer than I'd have ever expected for such a big cab

Q25
- mold from about 2.5" from the base down. This makes me agree with Cereth's flooding guess. Above that mark is A-OK
- 100% burn-free monitor
- Lots of rust on the coin return area and footrest
- Has the between-the-speakers marquee but not the big boy one up top
- CP is in excellent shape as are all the plastics

And FWIW, the dimensions on Hard--Candy and AO are incorrect for the Domy Theater.
