i took advantage of the premade rotating mechanism , but i still think its nonsens to play 32 inch vertical . the screensize set to horizontal is more than enough on this short distance. btw. a 4:3 shooter on a 16:9 screen with black bars on top and bottom wont top a 25 inch 4:3 crt .

my lcd project took a little longer than expected , coz i had to finish the paintjob on another rustbucket first. usually we dont experience storms or tornados here in central europe like you us-guys , but after 2 weeks my selfmade tent couldnt take any more beating . so i decided to delay the lcd project for some time .

about 1 year ago i purchased a namco 19 on ebay ger for around 1xx bucks . it was in rough shape , still working with some monitor problems ( burns , hor coil damaged etc.) , rusty , handpainted monitortop . i dumped it it in my garage for some time , but while its not getting better in years i deciced to refurb it now . after dismantling and cleaning it got spraypainted in black and orange. my first thought was candywhite + red or blue , but i had about 1 litre satin black left from the felixcab . so i ordered 0,25 litre for the orange cabinet parts . its called " jägermeister " orange , no ral or us standard colour . the sticks were ok , only the buttons and balls had to be replaced. the mitsubishi tube / nanao chassis was replaced by a grundig tv set with philips tube . it doesnt´fit in 100 % , coz its 1 inch smaller, so i build some cheap mounting frame . the idea was to use a mak with jamma harness to play jamma pcbs , but in the end i decided to mame it and take on of my other cabinets for the jamma stuff. i ordered an ipac controller and the sanwa stuff from arcadeshop.de and took a dell optiplex p4 out of another mame cab and soldered a mamescart cable ( quality one with coax rgb wires and additional audio connectors ) from roline . the 5/12 volt connection to scart pin 8 wasnt necessary , coz the screen autostarts with av rgb when powerd on.

Nice looking collection of cabs.  Some very innovative designs.

i had to move the little fellas a little closer , but finally it fits in. unfortunately my arcade apartment cannot compete with the peter hirschberg shed . lets say its getting crowded here ..

next thing i like to start is a mvs 13-2 repro or a 70 % shrink of the phantastic mission control cabinet.

apfelanni, do you have any plans for your lowboy camo cab??, i want to make a similar cab but to house a 25" monitor, what size monitor is housed inside your cab?

[apfelanni]

my 3 lowboystyle minis are housing a 13 inch vertical , a 20 inch and a 21 inch horizontal screen . all 3 of them are very small , around 5x cm wide , 6x deep and 1 m high. u can adapt the lowboy concept for a 25 inch crt without probs , check hardmvs.com / pics / pacific . if its of some use i can upload some more pics . u may also search for lowboy arcade here in forum or google images.
