You would be surprised how angry some people can get.
Or someone tried to steal it but couldn't fit it through the door?
The possibilities are practically endless!

this originally had a 19" monitor, right? if the mounting holes are right I want to try to mount a spare 19" crt computer monitor (also free) exactly where the old vector one was.
-------For the record I plan to MAME this cabinet once I restore the sides, and fabricate suitable looking replacements to the missing pieces. Once I have it working and playing star wars and esb I will start looking for actual replacement parts

From the arcade monitors I've worked with, a 19" arcade monitor is a true 19" viewable screen. A 19" CRT computer monitor is 18" viewable, and thus will be slightly smaller.

what about physical size? I could deal with a slightly smaller screen if I didn't have to fabricate a new mounting board, otherwise I may be on the lookout for a 20" computer crt.
