WTB MS8-29 flyback

[ShootTheCore]

I'm helping a friend refurbish the chassis on an Egret 29 cabinet with an MS8 chassis. The current flyback (part number MSU1FGS514) buzzes angrily and geometry distortion ripples on the screen in time to the intensity of the buzzing.

New old stock of this flyback seems to be impossible to find, and cloned Chinese flybacks for this model are rare and untrustworthy, so we're looking for a good condition, used replacement flyback. Let me know if you have one - thank you!

Thanks for the link. I ran it by some folks that are more knowledgable of the MS8 chassis than me, and they say to avoid these particular Chinese reproduction flybacks - apparently they’re quite a bit off-spec compared to the OEM parts.

Good luck with this. I needed 2 of these when I rebuilt my E29s since the flybacks on both chassis had died. One I ended up pulling buying a whole yaton chassis and cross my fingers that the Flyback was good, the other I couldn't find a source for and ended up having to send it to Sharp image repair for them to use a good used one they had (they wouldn't sell the part).

if I were to do it again, I'd just upgrade to an MS9 chassis.
