Any updates??? I'm curious to know how it came out.
MonitorGuru:
I was wondering the same thing. I havn't had a chance to call during the day to place an order. I might try emailing them to see if they could do the same quote that way (pretend they dont have prices on their web site)

Okay, okay...
So the chassis arrived on Friday. It was very well packaged in it's original box, wrapped in bubble wrap and placed inside of a larger box. Not bad for $7.50 via UPS and it only took three days to get to me. I'm impressed already.
In addition, the shipping label had no errors (exactly as I gave it to the lady on the phone). This is also a plus since my address is pretty hard to get right...Spring Lake, two words, Waterleaf, one word, etc., etc.
I just got around to installing it last night so I don't have pictures yet. First impression is that the colors are good, focus is good, but there is some noticable pincushioning on only one side. Since this monitor was not previously working, I'm not sure if it is a tube issue or not. I'm in Detroit for the next two days so I won't have pictures for you until Thursday (I know, sorry). I'm currently trying to find someone with a working G07 or K4900 that I can use to test to see if it's the chassis or the tube that is the problem.
More to follow!

Technically, it shouldn't be the tube but the yoke on the tube causing the pincushion. If it's too far out of range on DC resistance, or simply has an odd impedence it might not be a perfect match. I ran into the same problem on some tubes with the 8liners chassis as seen here http://www.oscarcontrols.chassis(Note: Kelsey's site got hacked yesterday so this page is currently not working)

I was wondering what happened to my cab, glad to see it went to good use.
