Konami 4P Cabs: Is Monitor Shelf Reinforcement Necessary?
Thread Killer:
The only mounting holes that I see are a couple along each side of the cabinet's innards. Each hole is roughly 0.25" deep.
Is that how the monitor is supported in your Konami cab?

Not those holes. mine bolts down to the shelf.
Even if you have no holes, your new monitor will have holes in the bottom of the frame, use those holes to mount the monitor to the shelf.
It will be massively obvious once you get a look at your new monitor.

There are a pair of holes on each side of the shelf, although they are relatively small. Those are what you're referring to, right?

Just for reference...
A 25 inch arcade monitor with frame is about 23.0 inches wide.
A 27 inch arcade monitor with frame is about 24.5 inches wide.
A 33 inch arcade monitor with frame is about 28.5 inches wide.
My cabinet is exactly 24 inches wide inside, which is kind of narrow compared to most modern cabinets that I've seen, so the largest monitor I can fit is a 25" unit.
I suppose that with some creative dremel work, I *might* be able to squeeze in a 27 inch unit but there wouldn't be enough space on the sides for the bezel and it would probably look bad.

You aren't going to have any mounting questions at all after you actually see your new monitor. It will be a no brainer, trust me on this one. Monitor goes on the shelf, and gets bolted down. It might fit the old holes it might not, but either way it will be one of the simplest parts of your project.
