What size monitor in an original Donkey Knog cab?

Thanks CheffoJeffo.  I can measure the cabinet...it's finding a comparable monitor (external measurements) that seem to have me baffled.  I don't necessarily want to decase anything if not needed and I don't think I want to throw a wide screen in there...

I guess I want something simple and cheap, and as big as will fit.

This is a 19inch Viewsonic in an arcade mounting frame in my Space Duel Cab. If the monitor hadn't been free, I would have gone with a 21inch PC monitor. The viewsonic wouldn't fit until I decased it, without stripping it I could just barely fit a 17 inch in the opening. As you can see the Viewsonic tube is just a bit to small for the 19inch arcade bracket, the zipties just keep the tube in place, the weight is carried by the top 2 bolts.


 
Jeffo, Don't weap for my vector, when I rescued the cab it had been completely stripped and was scheduled for a sledgehammer/dumpster treatment. I do plan on fully restoring it to its vector glory if I ever manage to get the monitor. None of my mame "modifcations" are permanent and can be reversed, I've taken measures to ensure this.

I believe that the tube number on the sanyo ez end in 51 which technically would be a 20 inch tube,
Tube number ending in 48 is a 19 inch tube
This is off the top of my head so don't hold me to it.
Both tubes the 19 (48) and 20 (51) should fit into a standard monitor frame as the mounts are identical


FrizzleFried:

Yes... the Sanyo 20-EZ is...well... 20".

It's not a Sanyo 19-EZ afterall.
