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

For Sale
I am thinking of drumming up a PCB that can be screwed in to a Happ power supply with no soldering, and has the Egret 2 power connectors on it, to make a plug and play design for swapping out the PSU. No cab hacking or manual adapter building. If I get these together it'll probably be cheap to make 10-20 of them, in which case I'll offer them up here.

I had my doubts! Man, that cab must weigh a ton.

It's nicely balanced though, so it's not too hard to move around. It's largely empty inside actually. Just a giant, empty metal housing for one huge monitor, ha.

Is there any one supply that satisfies the needs for both Jamma and Jvs with voltage adjustment? I know the blast city’s pay does. Any modern replacements?
 
does anybody have any idea why my windy doesn't turn on and just does static do Windy's have a safety switch like the blast do they have a switch for the 15 Hertz 24 Hertz

Resolution isn't the issue. If it was then you'd see a doubled image on the screen.

Safety switch would keep the entire cab from coming on. Also not the problem unfortunately.
 
What PCB did you test the Windy II with rewrite? I am thinking it is something silly like the pot on the flyback is turned down or something. Doesn't explain the audio, but I am thinking there it is something simple as well.
 
Tested with one of the Mr Driller games. Can't remember if it's 1 or 2, but the one that can be used over JVS or JAMMA.

No adapter in the cab, so I'm using JVS. The game works here at home before and after, so I can at least rule that out.
 
You might have an old laptop laying around with a VGA connector. Set the output resolution on the laptop to 640x480 and see if you get video just to test the monitor.

Updating my Q25 thread now.

Windy update:

Today the PSU is dead. The monitor gets voltage, but the JVS power connectors sit at 1.7-2.4v on all lines. I popped it open and it's visually fine.

I assume it was on its very last legs and turning it on this time killed it finally? May explain why it wasn't doing anything meaningful before?

Monitor:
Gets neck glow, statics up.

Not the original one. It has a completely different remote board. No dipswitch bank for resolution. So I assume it's not the original chassis either, if it doesn't need the dips to set resolution?

Speakers:
Messing with the volume pot does increase and decrease the static sound coming out of them if it's over ~70% volume. So they very likely work and that's a plus.

Much better eye than I have. Didn't notice the chassis number in the pictures I took. So the chassis is likely stuck in some unknown resolution until it gets the proper remote board.

That combination sounds about right. The Windy has a PB6643-1 chassis, a PB6643-2 remote board and PB6644 neck board.

Everything I'd run into shows dipswitch settings on the remote board to change resolutions, as others have also mentioned in this thread. And there are no dipswitches on this remote board.
 
Apologies, I misread that the entire monitor was swapped out and thought it was just the remote board.
