Mounting TV in Cab

When mounting a CRT TV in a cab is it easier to load it from the front, incase I want to pull it out, or will it be easier to install it in the back and strap it down.

I was thinking of building a type of cage for it so I could load ir thourgh the bezel area with some cloth handles (that will be hidden by my bezel art) and it can rest against this cage I wanna build for it...  What do you guys think?  Does the rear of the TV need to have room to get air moving for cooling or is that less important?

arcade monitors are usually mounted from the front or top ( cocktails ) .  build a solid mounting frame depending on the size and weight of the tube. sometimes a plate to rest the chassis is a good idea , makes maintenence a lot easier. if the wires are long enough the chassis can also be screwed on the inner sides of the cab . i would allways advise to take the tube out of the plastic case. the dismantling procedure can be done by a child.  

ur new tv to arcade screen doesnt need more room than in its natural habitat , but make sure the heat can get out of the cab . ventilation holes plus fan in the rear or top of ur cabinet prevents breakdowns in hot summer days .

Awesome response!  Thanks, I may need to make some kind of adjustments cuz the screen in it is 25" and the one I wanna put in is 27".  Plus I have to fab some sort of mounting bracket

make sure you have help.. 19's are'nt to bad to handle by your self but a 25 or 27 inch is a hand full.. and very easy to damage if you uncased it.. which i would.


better to have hep and not need it then to need it, not have it and end up with a busted set.

WhereEaglesDare:

good advice,

how do you handle the power button?  my set doesnt power on on its own, you have to hit the button to send the power on signal to the board.  can I just short that button out to be powered on whenever power is applied?
