Title: JenShin chassis or WeiYa brand? Which one should I buy? Are there others?
Post by: Billy on March 04, 2009, 07:01:01 pm

I have an old samsung tube out of a 25 inch magnavox.

SAMSUNG
TYPE# A63QDB891X01
PART# 9322-151-39682

Here are my measurements.

Size of the CRT: ______25________
Vertical ohms: ________7_________
Horizontal ohms: ______3_________
10 pin connector

So what the best chassis to buy for this rig?

Will either one of these chassis even work for this magnavox tv made in 2000?

I concur... I have had better image quality and more generic yoke compatability for geometry and no blurrines, blooming and pulsing when brightness changes with JenShin on numerous 19" tubes. I have tried one of each for 25" as well and had similar results.

Who actually sells the Jen Shinns in the US ?

I've contacted them directly and they don't have a representation in Europe but the guy said I can buy directly, but in my experience these guys expect orders in 20' containers, not something between 1 and 4.

I do believe 8liners.com sells the JenShin. If this works out I will have a 25 inch monitor for less than 100 bucks. I would say saving 300 large on a 25 inch is one heck of a deal.

The tv didn't cost jack and the frame I robbed from out of the wells that came in the cab. So spending 100 on this seems like a great idea to me.

Heck If I could find a good place to buy new frame kits. I could build monitors and sell/trade them out on the cheap to the local guys around my area.

I put a Wei Ya on my 25" WG monitor in my Mortal Kombat, and I've been happy with it.  I bought mine from a US distributer, Alva Amusements.

That's weird. In what respect would the older games require a less quality monitor ?

Ah I see. No other issues like sharpness, colors etc.?
 I guess the old games don't "flash" that much with brightness etc.

Would your 826 look (somewhat) like this:

8liners.com (Atlas Amusement/Victor Genoa) is the ONLY seller of the Jen Shinn replacement chassis in North America. I understand they might only sell Wei-ya chassis now (not confirmed).
