Basically a factory that ~10 years ago may have had those listed flyback models or the means to produce them?
I was hoping it was more a list of values that could be used to find suitable replacements.
Given if the neck on the tube is the same, what are the chances of pulling a Sanwa PFX chassis and potentially yoke and putting it on the Toshiba PB7475-1 tube of the Windy II? Toshiba PB7475 tube of course is curved, Sanwa PFX monitor is of course flat.
Is such a thing possible? Can you put a flat screen parts on a curved screen?

Isn't PFX dual focus like the Toshiba PF? If it is, the neck connector is different and the tubes can't be swapped.
A single focus tube like the one on the Windy should be pretty common. Naturally curvature will vary from tube to tube, but if you can live with a gap in the bezel, look for donor tubes in televisions (other than Sony brand).
Sometimes you can peer inside the monitor enclosure from the back and see the tube number. You can then punch that into Tubular to see what kind of neck connector it has:

just so you know if it fits in a blast it fits in a windy2. If you want to do that in the mean time trying to fix your monitors. Mines not even worth to fix.
I believe the Blast City came with Nanao MS2930 or MS2931 monitors as did Net City. Do Nanao MS2932 & Sanwa 29E31S have the same screen curvature?
You had me doubting myself for a sec nem. I had to step in my garage to double check all 3 cabs. Not an easy thing to do since its stacked full of project cabs =).
So you're saying I can fit the 29E31S chassis in the tube that came with the Windy II?
- 2x - Wangnam Midnight Tune 2 (WMMT2)
- 1x - US Tekken 5
So you're saying I can fit the 29E31S chassis in the tube that came with the Windy II?
No, I was just saying that you can put the curved Shanghai Novel tube in the Windy 2.
Maybe there are 2 variations of the 29E31S?
Like Nem's, mine are attached to Shanghai Novel curved tubes that were a drop-in replacement for the Windy II. Not flat :/.
You can, but you need to swap the yoke. Neck connectors are compatible.
Also the yoke for the flat screen tube might not be the same as the one for the curved, so it might not look right in the corners.
Anyway, I've never seen a 29E31S paired with a flat screen. Interesting stuff!
Let me be sure I have this right. In addition to fitting the 29E31S from the flat 29" tube, I should also transplant the yoke from the flat 29" tube to the curved tube of the WIndy II? Bear in mind, my 29E31S chassis is fixed currently to a flat tube. Just seems odd that I would use the yoke from a flat tube on a tube with a curved screen?
I'll pull out one of the cabs I have and take snaps of it. Let me know if you see anything in particular that may be different.
why don't you jot down the tube #?
yes @rewrite dropped in the curved version of 29E31S. And if you want to make it trisync get a rodo666a . which is what I did. Rewrite and I are just waiting on sharp image to fix the psu. To get it up and running.
But even if the tubes are flat who cares as long as it works. I believe river still sells the after market bezel for flat tubes.
The 29E31S chassis is definitely getting harvested from my Tekken 5 cab to be put in the Windy II. The only thing up for debate is if the yoke has to come with it. I tried pulling the monitor out today but that Tekken 5 cab is built like a tank. Won't have time to finish the task today. Will need to finish it off next weekend. Looks like I am going to strip the Tekken 5 cab bare, right down to the wheels/levelers, and dispose of it, which is a challenge in itself.
You know what's funny? I think I have a Wei-Ya chassis laying around too
. Been sort of stressing about the Windy II but in the past few days, I've found out I have parts on hand to get it going afterall.

@acblunden2 ya I forgot the weiya chassis should work too.
I had sharp image do the rodo666a mod for the dip switch to fix 15hz or 31hz so you can fix the compression on ether when you switch to them.

Yokes are tied to chassis, not tube. If your pair a yoke with the wrong tube, you'll just get a slightly warped picture. Pair a yoke with the wrong chassis, sparks can fly out.
The yoke on the Windy tube might be compatible, but I wouldn't bet on it. You need get yourself an inductance meter (20 bucks on eBay).
For reference, the specs for the yoke on the curved Shanghai Novel 29E31S are:
Lh 0.300mh
Rh 0.6 ohms
Lv 11.7mh
Rv 5.3 ohms
Also, take pics of your 29E31S chassis.
