Paying Homage to Early Rotating Monitor Cabs
« on: January 28, 2013, 11:13:53 am »
I was looking at MAMEDev Derrick Renaud's page for some video driver info and noticed his cab built way-back-when had a manually rotating CRT.
You pull on a rope for each direction.  The limit switches trigger the monitor degauss.

Anyone else have links to other early rotating monitor projects?

Thats cool. It would be really easy to substitute that rope for a belt and let a motor turn it automatically.
His project looks incredibly close to my first rotating project, but I dont remember seeing this setup.
