Title: Need Help!! Rastan cabinet modification
Post by: u48989 on January 21, 2005, 10:53:26 pm
I purchased an old Rastan cabinet with a bad monitor about a month ago.

Make sure the monitor will work without the colours going beserk at that angle.

Make a shelf for it to rest on and a couple struts to hold the top and bottom in place and you should be sound as a pound!

Also, that isn't a Rastan cabinet it is a Scramble cabinet!

Wow, I didn't even realize that but sure enough this is an old Scramble cabinet.  I am very impressed, paigeoliver.  Nice catch!  Thanks.  That might have some bearing on how I decide to proceed with this project.

Back to the monitor issue, if anyone has every done this before, could you point me to some pictures or schematics somewhere so I can learn how to build something to keep this monitor in place?  Thanks again.

Why don't you use the original arcade monitor?

The original monitor was broken when I got the cabinet.  I'm going to start with this old computer monitor I have, then when I get the $$, I will put in a hybrid arcade monitor.

Broken as in 'the tube is vented' broken or broken as in 'it doesn't do anything' broken?

Broken as in nothing works.  The monitor is old and has some other game burned into it, so I don't want to use it anyway.  I plan on getting a hybrid at some point, but I want to try and use this computer monitor first.
