Monitor angle of Centipede (upright)
« on: February 18, 2003, 04:44:27 am »
Hi!

Anyone here that could help? There were also some cabs with the same housing, e.g.Dig Dug.

I wanna mount my monitor tonight, but as I can't change the angle later ('cause of my rotating monitor mount screws can only be tighten when the tube isn't in!), I'd like to be on the safe side and do it like in the original Centipede.
Yesterday I saw on a picture that the monitor has more angle then the bezelglass, never would have though that before! Still think that makes sense, so I would like to do it the same way.

ok i mearure the best i could and here are the results
the board that holds the monitor is about 70 degrees I'm not 100% sure because that board is no longer in my cab but i tried to get the angle as close as possible when i installed my monitor.
the bezelglass is about 76 degrees.
On my cab the new monitor is a little bigger than the original and it stiks out the back a little. I wanted the monitor about the same distance from the bezelglass as the original. It must have been a tight fit in the original.
I hope this helps.

Hey Larry, I really owe you something! My cab really turns out like I always wanted it to be, though I haven't got a chance to touch a real Centipede for over 20 years!  :o

Thanx again, I'll think about it if there is something I can do for you.  :) :) :)
