Thanks for the TIP. Actually I was worried that I messed up after the Vinegar phase. Some parts still developed a rust patina afterwards, even after a 2nd soak. I might try Chemical Guy's polish afterwards. And by the way, beautiful Astro!

Dude, I'm stuck at this part... So I used the vinegar, then the Bar Keeper's Friend but my pieces aren't as polished as yours. Did you used Brasso afterwards? Thanks!

"Do we need another?" Of course we need them my man - These threads are always goldmines and great resources for beginners as myself. Thanks for your hard work, following up this thread!

I MADE IT! Thanks for the Vampliers [ Neji-Saurus ] reccomendation. I don't know why I couldn't knew of these extraction pliers sooner, I've been trying to extract these m**** ****ers since last year. In case anybody reading this thread in the future, I used the Neji-Saurus PZ58 and PZ59. You...

Thanks for the heads up Nem. I went with the Neji-saurus P59. For some reason these were cheaper than the Vampliers in Amazon. Would a 9" screw stripper be enough to get those bad boys? Thanks again for all your helpful advice. Nice day!

Wow, what is that sorcery? Sounds great, looks like would be a great addition to my toolbox. Thanks for both suggestions guys!

Hi everyone, I've been struggling on this for months. It's the only thing hindering my restoration progress. The external screws are stripped after spending many removal methods over the past months. Tried using the correct JIS screwdriver. Tried to use WD-40 to loosen and unrust the screws...

I bought from YATON a little while ago on Facebook, around October 2020. It was kind of messy, but turned out well at the end though. I needed some spares for an Astro City, he sent me a Nanao MS9 at the end LOL. He totally confused my order, BUT the good thing is that I was looking for a MS9...

Thank you guys, I'll try your suggestions. Wanted to be sure I'll use the correct stuff! Might post my results here. Nice day!

Good Night everybody, So, basically one of the three plastic mounting brackets just snapped in a half. It's the part that holds the monitor bezel with the control panel of the Astro City. What's the best way to glue this material? I reviewed some fixes and my only options are resin +...

I 100% agree with you - and if you want to put it as a cautionary tale and warning thread please go ahead. I got this cab from a seller in Mexico, see... in my country there aren't as many GREAT condition used Astro City candy cabs you might think of. Most of them are already in collectors...

Hi @nem I finally took a photo of the Yoke in my Toshiba A68KJU96X ( 4B ) Would you know perhaps which YOKE could be this one? Seems like a NANAO but I couldn't find anything on Google about it specially on the WHITE like ring above the YOKE doesn't seem to drop any results. Thanks for the...

Thanks, I'll check the YOKE connector today. Seems that everything is pointing out to get an spare MS8-29 instead - I'm still awaiting to repair that loose CRT adaptor piece, but my package was delayed for another month. I'll keep you in touch with this progress - Thanks for all the answers.

It's been a long time - Hope you all got a great holiday season! I've been awaiting some tools and spare parts for the last 2 months in order to continue the MS8 chassis restoration. I have the chance to buy another spare Nanao Chassis since the other one is still awaiting it's CRT socket...

Hi SF3BMX, How did you hung up with PNL? Do they have spare Nanao's you might know of? Thanks!

Thank you so much SnakeGrave, I'll check that socket out in Newegg. Nice day!

Hope you are having a happy holiday guys. I'm looking for the following component. It's used in the Nanao's CRT board, mine got some broken pins when shipped to my house - Not an easy Aftermarket part to find online, most of them are different pin configurations or sold in asian countries...

Hey man, thank you for the positivity! :) I might be ordering caps, resistors, etc. over the next weeks to try to give the Nanao back its luster - I'm also eager to see how the results turns out, hoping for the better. I'll be showing up some results later, hopefully before the end of this...

Welcome Tyson!

Thanks for the feedback Hatsune - Just to be on the safe side on such part... Would you please sell me one of your CRT sockets? Hopefully is a yes :D Thanks man! Nice day everyone.
