TV too heavy?
kahlid74:
I'm a fan of nostalgia and CRT's in general but my problem with TV's are they were never really designed for cabs. So can you use it? Sure. Is it the way I would go? Maybe not, depending if I had money for an LCD.
How big is the CRT? Your control panel at 33" inches isn't huge but it would be big for only 2 players.
paigeoliver:
33" is a bit on the large size, particularly for a 2 player machine. My 4 player Gauntlet cabinet has a narrower panel than that.
howsono:
33" was just based on a template I found on the Internet
I'm looking for a smaller tv (I really want a CRT) and will make a narrower cab.
RandyT:
Nothing wrong with big screens, but they lend themselves far better to a showcase cabinet. You can get away with large control panels a bit easier with that design as well.
I wouldn't go larger than 27" for a standard cabinet.
AGarv:
CRT monitors can be real beasts, especially if you are looking at the later generation HD models. I have a 27" sony trinitron that weighs in at over 100lbs. The 32" version of that is going to give the Hulk pause. A larger tv is going to grow your cabinet depth substantially also...
