| Help with Monitor Mounting Kit - Ultimate Arcade II |
| (1/2) > >> |
| KeWLMoNk:
I have an Ultimate Arcade II and I just got the Monitor Mounting Kit and a WG D9400 (27" arcade monitor)....go the directions for the mounting kit but the problem is my UAII doesn't have those pre-drilled holes for it ... so I'm lost....I have no idea where to put this stuff. ??? I HOPE someone else out there has the same set up that I do and can maybe get me some measurements for the upper and lower sections of this mounting kit (there are really only 3 pieces). So..there's my latest dilemma..my fingers are crossed that someone can help me. Until then I have a mounting kit sitting in pieces in the corner and my monitor looking less than dazzling. Also - when I unplug that monitor is it safe to move? All that open electronic stuff sticking out makes me nervous to touch it and get electrocuted. Thanks again everyone! |

I'm building a UAII from scratch... http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=82241.0 I have had the monitor in and out a few times to figure out where to place mounting points. I would suggest having someone help you place the monitor in the cabinet. Once it's in, mark up the screw holes for the mounting kit. I'm guessing that you were looking for an easy way out... i.e. for someone to say... mount it here.... but you'll probably be happier with the results if you do a test fit (plus, you'll know for sure that it's in the right place). Yes, you don't want to be sticking your fingers in the electronics of the monitor. Touch the wrong place and you will be very sorry. It's safe as long as you handle the monitor by the mounting frame and you don't touch any of the electronics. Believe me... I feel the same way about handling monitors. The open frame makes me nervous too. Be sure to have someone help you. |

@paulscade, dude you look like you know what you're doing!!!! Also kudos for not adding an extra joystick at the top of the panel. yeah, i have a D9400 also and while it's not too heavy to lift, you definitely need a 2nd person to help. in my case, i had 3 ppl including myself. two to lift and the 3rd positioned and screwed things in. |

I have that cab. I had a friend help that was better with carpentry than I am. I'll get his input. |

so basically i should attach the mounts to the monitor while its in there - once its in then mark it up, take it out and drill the holes where they need to go? |
