Swapping horizontal to vertical in a cocktail cab
shredso:
I may have found the cocktail cab I've been looking for. It's the Midway style (Ms Pac Man, Galaga). It appears by the pictures that the monitor is mounted horizontally for whatever game was put in after the fact. Is this an easy swap back? Was this likely a hack? I can't tell for sure that it's a Ms Pac Man cab but I only know of a few games that use that cab and all were vertical. Thanks.
Ed.

In my Upright cab, I can flip the monitor mounting to be either Vert or Horiz. But in a Cocktail style cab, I doubt there is room for flipping monitor (unless it's is a smaller crt from the original). What changes is where the CP is placed. If it Horiz, they would make the CP on front, but if it is Cocktail, it will be on the ends.

After a little research I'm pretty sure this was a Rally X which has a horizontal monitor. Has anyone tried changing the mount to vertical on a rally x for MAME or another game?

Ed,
Depending on how much the midway style cab is going to cost you, it may be worth your while to build a 3 way cab from scratch using a kit. You then have the best of both worlds (horiz and vert), theres no need to keep filpping the monitor, and you can also play 2-player side by side games such as the street fighters etc). I've built a few for my friends who were considering converting an old cocktail cab.

I want to make this cab specifically for vertical 4 way 1 button games. I have an upright cab already with a 27" monitor and U360's. I want this to look just like a classic Ms Pac Man or Galaga when it's done but with one button. I know the monitor mounts on the hinged side, I'm hoping it can be easily converted permanently. Thanks.
