Title: Aftermarket medium res chassis
Post by: ToplessZ on April 10, 2008, 05:50:33 pm

Whats a good place to get an aftermarket medium res chassis to replace a U5000?

Ive only seen standard res replacements..

There are none!

Your only hope is the Wells-Gardner U-5000 to K7500 conversion kit. It comes with a new yoke too since the old yoke is not compatible with the k7500 chassis.

Nope sorry guys but give me the part# on the yoke and I am pretty sure I can customize a board and for a whole lot less than the Wells option.

i know i can get replacement chassis for nanao ms8,ms9 and sanwa pm1745 from pentranic.
i will have the yoke readings on a u5000 by this wednesday and by my reckoning its gonna be very close to those two yoke readings as its a switchable 15/25.

this could be an interesting thread as the failure rate on a lot of these type monitors is becoming higher due to age and there are an awful lot out there still,i have 16 ms9,4 u5000 and 4 pm1745
