[Mrhide]

Got these in today and they look amazing



Well packed, fast shipping!!!!

Thanks to @fuzzbuddy for making these, and @kuze & @ekorz for pointing it out to me

Came home to a paper on my door ... need to wait for tomorrow night to get it at the post office !

 

[kuze]

I think he may still have a few more of those illumination panels if anyone missed out

Well-packed, affordable AND fast shipping! Just got mine in today, delivering another to the bay tomorrow. Hopefully the technique used for the art will help us finish up the rest of the NOS panels over here too!

The shit repro mine came with, vs the Zak ( @fuzzbuddy ) special. Thanks @kuze for the tip!

Bringing the chassis and parts in to a shop tomorrow for powdercoat etc...

 

[fuzzbuddy]

Glad they're surviving the journey I thought Canada would get theirs a lot later! Looks like they all went through without customs charges (declared £50 value and "gift" on all of them).

Thanks guys

Came home to a package as well. Fast shipping

 

[ekorz]

since we all have fancy new illumination panels, has anyone replaced their lamp with an led bar yet? Got a good one that fits well?

Anyone know how to remove the original panel without damaging it?

 

[RealMFnG]

300wins tells me the plastic is melted into place to secure it. You can either damage the mounts to keep the panel in tact as you remove it. Or shave down the back of the panel to remove it. Pick your poison-type deal.

I guess these are the bad PSUs to use for the Egret 2s?

They are NOS, wondering if I should recap them first.

well if they are the same as 300 was sold me it should start right up like mine did.

I would still get these recapped (even if they are NOS).

Had a NOS E2 PSU go nuts and fry a PCB. The cost of a recap really is a drop in the ocean when you consider all the other expensive crap this thing is driving.

Just for the record, any old power supply is going to do that. Doesn't have much to do with it being an E2 power supply.

Putting it out there not for you so much as the E2 PSU hate camp around here.

Always always always test new to you, recently repaired, or long time storage power supplies with test PCBs or junk boards.

Very true.

I always use Tekken, so I don’t accidentally fry my Blast City Test PCB on accident.

I use Final Round!

 

[Derick2k]

For whatever reason, i end up using a hammering Harry m84 board as my test board

 

[kuze]

Neo Geo MVS 1 slot has always been my trusty test board

 

[fuzzbuddy]

I use Ibara Black Label
