How can I mount a horizontal monitor vertically?

[javeryh]

OK, here's the problem... I need to mount my Happ Vision Pro into a DK cab however when it is turned on its side the metal chassis sticks out of the back of the cabinet.  I can remove the mounting bracket except the monitor's electronics are attached to it.  I think I can remove the board/electronics but then what do I do?  It has to be secured to something...

My dad is on his way over to help me mount this thing and I'd hate to have him make the trip for no reason...  Any ideas???

As long as the wires are long enough,  you could probably build a cross-beam
shelf to mount it on.

 Personally, knowing how much juice is in those babies... I wouldnt touch
it until it was fully discharged.

i kinda did that too, mine wasnt because I was turning it vertically but it was just too deep for the cab; I mounted mine to the side of the cab

You have 2 choices, build your own modded base for the chassis of your horz or buy a universal monitor frame.

Just transfer everything over to a Nintendo/Sanyo frame. You may need to buy some PCB feet for the chassis (the existing Vision Pro plastic chassis mounting platform may not fit onto the area that the Sanyo chassis mounts to), and you'll need to drill some holes for the PCB feet screws in the sheet metal of the Sanyo frame that you are mounting to.

I did something similar with the Vision Pros I put into my two Dynamo HS-1 cabinets. Neither the standard shelf-mount frame nor the universal mount frame would fit and allow the back door to go back on, so I transferred the tube and chassis over to the WG compact frames that were in there originally.

If you transferred the Vision Pro to a Sanyo frame, you wouldn't be the first to do it. Mike's Arcade sells Vision Pros in Sanyo frames along with a color inverter/audio amplifier as a drop-in replacement for a Nintendo monitor. Also, there is a DK restoration thread around here somewhere where the guy transferred his Vision Pro to a Sanyo frame.
