| Swapping horizontal to vertical in a cocktail cab |

If it is mounted on the hinged portion the screen is attached to the part that pivots out. If the existing frame on the monitor is mounted on its side to give you a horizontal display then the frame can probably be used to mount the monitor vertically. This is based on the premise that they did not make a different frame to mount the monitor horiz. In most cocktails of this type the monitor is vertical but the frame attaches to the pivoting side panel with a regular horizontal mount. |

I got a chance today to really take a good look at this thing. The frame is attached to the part that swings out but the frame is oriented different. here are a couple pics. http://www.flickr.com/photos/44507413@N02/5073928394/# http://www.flickr.com/photos/44507413@N02/5073334627/# The frame is oriented differently than the pics here http://www.tokensonly.com/2008/10/restorations/ms-pac-man-cocktail-restoration/ I haven't pulled the monitor yet but it seems like I'm gonna need a different monitor or at the very least a different frame. Any ideas? |
| BobA:
Looks like they did make a different frame for the vertical mount. You maybe able to adapt it depending on what parts you can support it horizontally with. |

Well, I found this. http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.video.arcade.collecting/browse_thread/thread/da901e16b3720c54/a26d572157916a44?lnk=gst&q=Converting+to+Ms+Pacman+cocktail#a26d572157916a44 Not exactly what I was hoping. I suppose with a new frame and a little routing this isn't the end of the world. |
