I find it interesting that they sell 2 complete monitor kits.. a 14" and a 20" that state "does not need isolation transformer". And they used the model number of the chassis (820/814) as part of the model number of their kit.

Did you just order one item or did you order multiples of one or one of each of a few things? That is a VERY nice price you got! At $50 I'd pick up one just to hold until I found a high impedence one. (All I find is low impedence it seems)
Anyway, When you called them were they easy to communicate with? Or was it a hassle to ensure you were ordering the right thing/etc?? (I like emailing orders since it's written and concise so nothing is messed up), but if it saves me a lot of money, I can spend a few minutes on the phone I guess :)
I need two 25" chassis for a friend to drive his 23" TV's he got, plus I need a low impedence one for the Galaxian cabinet I'm building, and could pick up a high impedence one as well as a backup for the G07 that is starting to go in my Ms.Pac cocktail...(already had a cap kit)
Please report on the WeiYa chassis when you get it. See the link above to the report on the 8liners with pictures over at OscarControls as a comparison. (Too bad DHansson's pictures are gone from the 8liners tread now)
I'll probably end up ordering from Alva before you get yours though as my friend is getting ansy to get his built... but we'll see..
Finally: I'm really curious why I can't find the 826 model at weiya's site.. only the 828. What's the difference? I believe I read the 828 has pincushion control (and would be wanted when using a 23"/ ~8ohm tube on a 25" chassis probably).

Here's the site with the 828 series:
www.weiya.com.tw/monitor/p10.htm
Look under the 828 series and you'll see the "825H1" which is the one I mentioned to you earlier about using with the 23" tube.

I used the Weiya "Electrohome" replacement chassis on a Nanao monitor (high impedance vertical yoke) that had given me much grief. Worked perfectly! It's been on location now for about year with ZERO problems and it still looks great. Over the years I have used several complete Weiya (under the EYGO name in the USA) monitors and replacement boards. They worked well and after a while the only problems were just needing capkits. We had several early Megatouch countertop games that Merit had used these monitors. There wasn't much ventilation in there which caused several caps to dry up. Those Megatouches are now over ten years old and like I mentioned just the usual capkit job fixed em right up.
