Monitor / Chassis Swap Information
The Wei-Ya chassis typically used in the Egret 3 and the Atomiswave SD (Wei-Ya 3129D) is generally considered to be of inferior quality compared to offerings from competitors such as Toshiba and Sanwa. Unfortunately, there is no direct replacement for neither the monitor nor the chassis, but several options have been theorized or successfully completed by community members:
- Toshiba chassis swap on the original monitor, archived from the original post on Arcade-Projects. Refer to the second post of the thread for detailed instructions.
Notes
- The largest PCB board that can be fitted is 550x392x12mm.
- The cabinet can be upgraded with a sound amp easily as it is wired with the necessary 12v and speaker connections for a Taito Stereo Amp.
