Klingbeil:

i've inherited a Sony KV 36HS510 - 36" WEGA CRT TV - 1080i - HDTV and the thing weighs close to 250 lbs.  it's 4:3 flat screen and i can't seem to sell it for the life of me.

so...  i've decided to use it for a MAME cabinet.  any ideas on what type i should make?  i've always liked the Centipede/Defender/Frogger style cabinets, but i think this TV is way too big for being that close to it.  possibly the 6 player X-Men style, maybe?  what do you guys think?

I have the same TV.  It is SERIOUS heavy.  I would think a showcase cab for the size.  Whatever you make - think about a frame made of 2X4's and attach the wood to the frame.  You will need a lot of support for the TV.

Can you not use it with a games console?

Those TVs were not intended to be hoisted up like in a showcase cab, I mean would think twice before making it into a showcase cab.  Also those TVs have an awesome display, ideal for Xbox 360 or the PS3.

agree showcase cab is the way to go, as large as it is you would have to make a huge cabinet to fit it in, most door ways are 36 inches or less.
