Sorry for the title,
But I am looking at transplanting a big Sony CRT into a Gauntlet Legends Showcase cabinet. The Tube will fit, and I can use the brackets that are holding it to the plastic shell, but their outside edges are just a teeeeny bit smaller than the width of the cabinet's monitor enclosure.
I won't be able to use the stock bracket in the cab though, as its holes are about 1.14" too narrow, its one piece and doesn't adjust, I could cut it in half with a dremel cutting wheel, and then double down on bolts to reinforce, but I am afraid that route might be prone to failure.
Is there a bracket store where I could browse for the right one?
or could I maybe make something else. The side clearance between the tube's mounting plates outer edge and the cabinet interior is seriously about 1/8" on either side so I don't know if mounting side rails is the best option either (plus I don't know if I like putting bolts through the side art)
any opionions would be great! thanks!
