| Universal Monitor/Tube mounting brackets - NO LONGER IN STOCK |

I think the majority of cabinets (either original or BYOAC) use either some kind of bracket, shelf, or wood support that is screwed from the inside. I've never seen an arcade game with external bolts to support the monitor. That doesn't mean they don't exist, but most of them have no visible hardware on the side panels. I originally planned to use SlikStik's brackets on my cabs, but hated the way the external carriage bolts look. I also needed a custom solution due to space constraints underneath the monitor on my cabs. This seemed like the best solution given all the factors involved, and it works well. |

So does this bracket mount to the tube in it's longest dimension or the shortest dimension? All Nintendo cabinets secured the monitor with chrome carriage bolts thru the side of the cabinet. So did all the Stern cabinets like Scramble, Berzerk, etc. |

Here's an illustration of how the brackets are mounted. The brackets are designed to support the monitor frame while it is being mounted, so you have both hands free to install the bolts. |

I'd have to concur, I've fabricated a few custom mounts in my day, and I'd say that once this is all bolted together, it would be mighty sturdy. I'd want to use screws that go pretty much all the way through the wood, and definitely pre-drill the holes, but I couldn't see that giving way even with the machine being bumped around in shipping (which I'm was in mind at the planning stage). |
