The repro works I did for NNC are 1P/2P panel and the insert strip. I don't make the marquee as the original marquee looks so great and it's still not that hard to get one.

Would you have an idea where we could get one? I’ve looked around and came back empty handed. Mikonos was quoting 56 Euros for his repro and I was about to order it... thanks!

herehttps://videotronicsuk.com/Contact them. I saw they had some marquees last year. It's good place to find NNC parts. The postage seems good too.

Thanks! Actually ordered a NNC manual and PCB wooden board from them last month but didn’t think about asking for a marquee... I’ll try that...

Wwait... you ordered a wooden board? from across the pond?! :D

Sure did! I like it original as much as possible and the board inside my NNC was more mold than wood...
They confirmed that they were out of marquees for NNC :(
 
SO Im in the process getting parts for the E2 cab. Anyone replace their speakers? Any drop in replacements or upgraded speakers maybe with an amp. Anyone have links to any of this?

If I cant find any, I might just replicate the enclosures with better drivers in them and build a sub box as well and mount a small amp to drive them all. hell might as well build it into the back panel since its make out of mdf.

anyone get around to recapping their egret ii psu? I just opened mine up (more pics https://imgur.com/gallery/9Yqf90E) and found one pin totally unsoldered. It was working fine so I assume this is just an anchor for the big component on the other side, but thought I’d ask in here if anyone else has gotten to this. Is yours also like this?

Curious about this one.

Taito PSU from my Egret II is a different model (M4100023B):





How many different Taito PSU models are out there for Egret II cab?


PD: I also created a list of caps used on this PSU model on AO wiki:

There are two, one is open, one is closed. Closed is the older one IIRC.

They're functionally the same, nothing to worry about no matter which you have.

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?

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.

Ok, here are the pics of the tube and some bad pics of the chassis. This came off a US Tekken 5 cab.

As you can see, the tube is completely flat. I have two more just like this in Maximum Tune 2 cabs.

And here you can clearly see it is marked as 29E31S.

About to put in the swap. Should be done by the end of the week.

You guys are sure this can go into the Toshibe tube? I see dual focus beam adjustments on the yoke.

Finally got around to sending Sharp Image Repair my Toshiba PB7534 chassis today from the Windy 2.

Here's hoping it's not a bad flyback and is fixable! Fingers crossed. :/

Will let you guys know what I hear back in a couple weeks after they've had a chance to look at it.

I'm curious if the flybacks can't be repaired if they have cracks in them with epoxy putty.

Honestly just depends what's wrong with it. if its external crack on enclosure, yes can be repair. I've repair a few that way before. If they finding dead shorts on winding or ringing them out and finding even a few dead turns, etc then no good solution for that. Ususally if external crack you will have external arc though so will be fairly obvious. ie you turn on Mon and see spark coming off HV unit.
