I can also confirm that neither the Egret 3 nor the Atomiswave sit-down cabinet have the rotation mechanism found in the Egret 2, although they probably could be fitted with one.
Help me choose a japanese cab
I'm still following this thread with great interest, as I've since bought an Egret 2 and am considering buying a 15/24/31Khz monitor soon, so thanks guys for keeping it alive

I may have mentioned this elsewhere (and on other forums)
You can directly swap the Wei-Ya C3129A chassis into the egret 2 and get 15/24/31hz. You can leave the existing tube in place.
Make sure you have the Nanao in the Egret 2 first. If you can peek behind the tube and see what brand+model it is (it's a bit difficult, but you can tilt the monitor enough to be able to see) I can tell you if it is the same as mine.
Re: Egret 3 rotation. I bet you can't just swap in the egret 1/2 rotation mechanism. The Egret 3 uses a flat monitor, right? You'll have the same issue I did with the egret 1, then.

Ok, so the tube's neck in my E2 is officially broken.zakk wrote: You can directly swap the Wei-Ya C3129A chassis into the egret 2 and get 15/24/31hz. You can leave the existing tube in place.

What would be my options for replacing it, besides buying a second-hand similar monitor ?
I have a true flat bezel as well as the original one, but reading your posts there is probably no way to fit a flat tube with the rotating frame, right ?
Looking for some ideas there...
I'll be posting a similar topic on the killercabs forum.

If the glass on the tube is cracked you will have to replace the tube.
It may be easier to just buy a whole new monitor instead of trying to find a matching tube for the chassis.
A WG9200 will mount to the rotation mechanism. The deflection board for that monitor is HUUUUGE tho, and it will be really annoying to mount it in the E2 in a way that will let the neckboard rotate without hitting anything.
Some of the non-flat Wei-Ya based monitors (billabs etc) will fit perfectly in that cabinet. The 'dyna-flat' tubes are too thick to mount properly to the rotation mechanism, so avoid those.

Yes, I was planning to buy a complete monitor, including the chassis.
Wells Gardner monitors are not available in Europe, and will be quite expensive in the end.
Do you have the reference of the compatible Wei-Ya monitors ?
Are they by any chance of the multisync type found on this page ?

How did the neck end up getting cracked on your Egret II, if you don't mind me asking? Rotating faux pas?
Thanks ! I'll probably order one soon.
The back of the cab has been damaged during transport, probably the tube at the same time, and when I rotated the tube the neckboard got caught in the edge of the back door and finished to break...oxtsu wrote:How did the neck end up getting cracked on your Egret II, if you don't mind me asking?
