Swapping horizontal to vertical in a cocktail cab

Pages: << < (2/3) > >>

BobA:

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.

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.

Not exactly what I was hoping.  I suppose with a new frame and a little routing this isn't the end of the world.
