Mario Bros in Red !
Level42:
Well, I'm mostly interested in the monitor position of course.
Front and back (inside) pictures are very welcome....the more the marier I guess....I wonder if the monitor is inside the wooden cage and how it's mounted in there....
I hope to take some more pics in an hour or so, and post them here !
by the way.....I've dreamed about a rotating monitor in this baby :laugh:

the cab does not have the wooden box, that's why I asked for dimension and photos of the box.
I'll shoot as many photos and details. :D

OK, then I'm still interested how it's mounted ;)
Didn't have time to take pictures, but I did have another quick look at the cage. I think I now know how to remove it. There's a metal strip that needs to be removed.(It looks a lot like this: http://www.mikesarcade.com/cgi-bin/store.pl?sku=MONXBARN , and it seems to be mounted the same, but not 100% sure.....(Notice it's also indicated as being used in Radar Scope !)
Then it looks like I can slide the whole cage up and out of the cab....
I'll give it a try tonight.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm, it looks like this metal strip is a bit different. Not 100% sure if they are exchangeable.
Releasing the cage is quite easy, remove the two nuts on each side of the metal upper strip. Then on the bottom there's also a metal strip that's fixed both the the cage and the cab. Remove the screws and then it's very easy to slide up and out the complete cage (make wires loose first :) )
This is great, removing the monitor is making it much easier to carry the cab around :D
First, I had a feeling that this cage would make it possible to turn the whole cage to get a horizontal monitor, but this turned out not to be true. However, it should be very possible to rotate the CRT only within the cage. By sawing out a horizontal hole and drilling 4 holes for the corner mounts of the CRT. I don't think there's a possibility to make this rotating within the cage. However, the current stands that hold the cage in the cab look like you could build about anything on it :)
OK, enough talk, pictures !
1st: I'm lifting up the "curtain", something to keep it dark in the monitor area...
2nd:There you see the upper metal strip that holds the monitor in place, this is the right side (from the back of course)
3rd: this is the left side
Level42:
1st: Yeah, metric nuts !!! Loosen two on both sides
2nd:...then the strip is loose
3rd: The cage is resting on the back side on this wood.
