Title: Good TV for Midway cabinets
Post by: Sir Auros on July 31, 2007, 11:49:57 pm

In case anyone is looking for a TV that will work well with a Midway MK/NFL Blitz/etc. cabinet, I found a 25" RCA brand "Entertainment Series" TV fit in well and the bezel fits almost perfectly. I'm not sure if they're still making this TV, because I bought it from a pawn shop. the manufacturing date was in 2003.

Didn't your cab come with an arcade monitor?  What was wrong with it?

I got it from a friend who bought it fully working off ebay. After he transported it to his apartment, something blew out on the monitor and he couldn't repair it. He stripped the monitor, game, control panel, and marquee before giving the cabinet to me when he moved to Texas. I could have kept the monitor if I had paid him for it, but I didn't know if I could get it fixed, and it added a lot of weight to the already hard to move cabinet.

One of our friends almost had his skull crushed when we were turning it down a landing on the stairs.  :P
