You don't want to start cutting till you have the monitor size set in stone. I know it sucks to wait but I've had 2 projects where I waited till I got the TV till I designed the cab. For my VPIN I had to decase the TV to figure out the exact size I needed it to fit in. |

i'm trying not to get ahead of myself. but, if we are to talk monitors.. what was the originals size? 24"? would something like this be available in 32? https://mikesarcade.com/cgi-bin/store.pl?sku=19LCDNIN also the old way.. https://shop.xgaming.com/products/tri-mode-crt-arcade-monitor https://www.amazon.com/Monitor-Cocktail-cabinets-industrial-mountable/dp/B015YBODJ8 |

If you are talking about games prior to mid 2000s then they were all CRTs. If you want authentic, that is it. Really hard to find a real arcade CRT new these days, but it can be pulled off with a curb find TV if you are patient and industrious. Most were 19" screens, some were larger. Do yourself a HUGE favor and spend as much time here as you need to before you actually start buying or building anything. http://wiki.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/Basics Game list first. Control panel layout to suit those games well next. Screen type, orientation and size after that- to ascertain cabinet width, height etc. A well made cabinet is more fun to play and will get more use. |

You don't need a new arcade CRT. A properly maintained used CRT will outlast a modern display. On top of that, if it does break, you can fix it. |

PERSONALLY, I've had bad experiences with crt...so I would prefer to stick with LCD :). cheap to replace if needed and easier to stock :). while the classic 'feel' would be nice, it's not needed imho. |
