You have a source for 640x480, 10" screens? Where? How many left? Which input(s) do they have? How much are they?

Replying you your post from the slg thread... Don't want to derail that one.... Called a Pyle PLVW10IW monitor. Inputs VGA, BNC, Composite. $160... Supply your own 12v though. They sell these as in wall security camera monitors.

Dimensions are 11" wide x 20.5" tall x 19" deep. Go for it. I even jammed in a CRT monitor and the whole thing is pretty small.

Lew, was going to comment in your thread for that cab, but would have been a major thread revive. Anyhow, that's awesome, I haven't seen too many bartops here with a real CRT. I would say it's a shame you can't do native res on that, but with the screen size you wouldn't be able to see much difference anyway. The only thing I would change is to add two more action buttons, then you could play all kinds of vertical shmups.

Unstupid, I love the shape, and I'd have to agree with everyone the someone would love to have the empty cab, even if it does need specific parts. They could make it work, don't trash it!
Heck, you sell it like that, and use the money to rebuy the parts.
The only thing to me is the coin mech on the side. It's kind of a reach, and you couldn't line a few of these up next to each other like that. How about just a simple coin entry plate on the CP, top left. The coin could fall through a very short chute with a microswitch in it.

Here's the specifications from Amazon:
- 4:3 Screen Aspect Ratio
- 800 x 640 High Resolution
Seems like a weird resolution to me, usually it's 800x600. Do you get weird artifacts from the pixel resizing from the 60-in-1, which I think outputs in 640x480?

Yea amazons website is wrong, but then again, so is pyle's. Even Pyle's site has it at 800x640, but on the box and in the instruction manual it states it is a 4x3 640x480 panel. Here check it out:
