Title: What are the inside measurements of a Galaxian?
Post by: maraxle on September 03, 2004, 07:31:27 am

What are the inside measurements of a Galaxian-style cabinet?  I know a 19" vertical monitor will fit, but will a 25" horizontal monitor fit?

Kinda funny you asked that ...  ;)

I'm actually working with a Galaxian cab right now. I have an empty 25" monitor frame that I had placed in there just for fun to see how it would look, or work ...

Kepp in mind, this could probably be accomplished, but not without making some serious mods to the cab ... mostly for reinforcement. It was really cramped though ... too cramped if you ask me.

For a midway cab such as that, I think I'd stick with a 19". Just my opinion though... ;)

FWIW ... the specs I have are W-23"/D-21" ... if I took those correctly. The D of course being the monitor mounts that are already inside the cab, depth-wise.

Hope that helps a little.

Thanks, Michael.  That helps a lot.  I agree on sticking with the 19, but this one isn't for me.  Someone requested that I look into it for them, and you reaffirmed what I was thinking.

I've got a Midway cab, it's not a Galaxian but it is similar. Inside width is 23 1/2 inches.

Look on my website for Galaxian/MsPacMan plans.
