Anyone ever install a 25" monitor in Original Ms Pac ?

[markymarky99]

Hello everyone,  Has anyone installed a 25" monitor into an original midway cabinet before?  Does it fit without sticking out of the back ?  Also, once in, does the glass bezel graphics interfere with the playfield of the monitor ?  I haven't seen any Ms Pac bezels online that are for 25" games.  Thanks for your time, enjoy the great weather in the Northeast today, FINALLY!

Considering the original bezel is made for a monitor a half a foot smaller in size I think it's safe to say that it would impede your view.

In fact, the bezel is only 21" x 23".....

Wasn't there a 25" Galaxian? Did that use a different cabinet? Other than a slight design difference, a standard Galaxian/Pac-Man cabinet is about the same overall size as a Galaga/Ms. Pac-Man cabinet isn't it?

And yes, even if you did manage to shoehorn a 25" monitor in there, the bezel graphics would impede your view somewhat around the edges.

I think those Ms. Pacman/Galaga cabinets use 25". Too big for my liking.

Me too.  The origional 19 inch has the most authentic feel imho.

Even if you do a new bezel, that monitor is too big for that cab. Get yourself a nice 20" LCD instead. (not widescreen) You'll thank me later. And your back will still work after installing the new monitor...

A Pac cab is very light compared to most... a 25" may make it top heavy.

My Galaga (scratch built) has a 25", works just fine, though I made design tweaks to make it work better.

Did you build it from ply or mdf?  I have an empty pac cab in my shed that I can pick up and walk off with it's so light.
