Pinball TV Mount Help!

<< < (2/2)

Gilrock:
Seems like the pedestal would need to be moved back a few feet every time to put it in pinball mode.  And you'd need some type of side boards to support the rail system.  Not sure if it helps but reply #14 of my pinball build shows how I used garage door wheels so I could roll my TV in and out of the machine.  You could mount a piece of wood with the rollers just like I did but then build a different rail channel.

I don't recall ever seeing a commercially-available mount like it.   :dunno

The closest commercially-available hardware would be something like garage door tracks and wheels.

That's how I envisioned it, with your current portrait/landscape rotating mount fastened to the top of the "skateboard".
- The left/right mobility of your mount might cause problems.  Got a link that shows your mount?
- The wheelbase of the "skateboard" will probably need to be longer than the long side of the monitor.
- The axle width will probably need to be wider than the monitor.

Ok awesome! I’ll have my guy take a look as this seems to be out of my expertise lol.. my current pedestal has a wheels below for that purpose as yes it would have to move back several feet. Thanks for the info! A lot more complicated than I thought lol.. but definitely doable.
