Rotating monitor construction *Project finished*
richms:
A while back I was taking these off peoples hands for peanuts, tweeking them and selling them after giving them a wipedown with some armourall to make them shine again for $140-$200 - shame that the cheap lcds have blown that idea away now :(
DaOld Man:
Neat idea.
Do you suggest I tweak any other adjustments, besides G2?
richms:
No, on ones with geometry problems I have only ever made it worse, not better so those are best left alone IMO.
The G2 problem is that the code in the processor to deal with the tube aging and to turn it up was way to agressive, once its turned back down they give years more service with an awesome picture
DaOld Man:
I have the measurements on my arcade, and its going to be close, but I think I may be able to fit the 19" monitor into the cabinet. I may have to extend the back part though, to allow for the butt end of the bigger monitor.
Heres some pics:
First is Benny B's Arcade. I plan to do a lot of work to this. Another thread will be started to document my work on it.
2nd pic is the 17" monitor that i currently have in Benny B's.
3rd pic is the 19" P991 monitor. It has a metal "cage" around it, and I like that. Less chance of me frying myself on the high voltage.
I plan to cut two discs from MDF to mount the monitor to, just like most people on here have done.
The result will be a spool with the monitor inside. (Unless I change my mind before I fire up the router).
I cant think of a better way to do it.
Its just too dang cold out in the garage right now.

funny you should say that. my family owns a garbage route here locally and about month ago, we finally through out our old dell 19" trinitron monitor that suffered from the problem states above. as the blade was coming down to pack the truck, i thought to myself, i bet its an easy fix. then i said screwed it and crushed it. :banghead: oh well.
