What screen to use for a vertical cab?

I used a 22" Dell CRT off Craigslist for $20 (mint condition, fwiw). See my build notes (linky in sig) if interested.

Should I just buy that? Would it be easy to make it into a vertical cab?

No, you need to leave that one for someone who may actually restore it.

BTW - shooting games in a Pac cab will suck.

Jack Burton:

erm

Galaga is a shooting game and it plays pretty good in a pac man cab.  So do the other shooters I've played in them.

None is going to restore that cab..Its not even a original cab its a gutted cab and someone through gauntlet on there with the Cp..So I know galaga plays fine on a pacman cab but with two people standing over the cab for 2 player shmups? Im leaning towards this gauntlet cab and throwing a vertical tv or monitor in there.People around here dont buy arcade cabs really so I might as well pick it up..

zaktallica:

How about this screen? Would this fit in a pacman? Or would it look 2 small in the gauntlet as vertical? I squeezed a 27 inch in my mortal kombat 2 cab but that's for horizontal games.
