Title: Where to buy universal chassis'?
Post by: modessitt on March 26, 2007, 11:59:34 pm

I always see people talking about buying Wei-Ya's, Kortek's, and such as universal replacement chassis', but a Google search has not turned up any suppliers advertising these things.  The only site I've found is 8liners.com and the one time we ordered one, they forgot about it and by the time we called back to find out when it was coming, it turned out we didn't need it anymore, so cancelled the order.

Who is a good, reliable source for unversal monitor chassis?

On another note, I know that I provide my yoke measurements and pin count when I order, but some other information would be helpful.

Does it matter on the tube size?   If I need one for a 13" and one for a 33", will that be a problem?

Also, if I have a tube from a med-res 25" monitor, can a universal chassis replicate that to be put in a med-res game?

Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the thread link, Ken.   :applaud:

The post title was misleading in that I didn't figure it would be about getting replacement chassis with correct measurement.

Even a forum search for "universal" "chassis" "replacement" didn't give any results.  Don't want everyone to think I'm one of those who don't look for answers first.   :-\
