An example of NOT to do to a classic !
Kevin Mullins:
First off - WHAT A WASTE !!
WareWolf - You're right about an original SI monitor orientation..... but he obviously re-mounted the new monitor for direct view, otherwise you wouldn't be able to see the screen in this pic -

The viewing angle on this thing must be horrible.

Actually, I had one of those cabinets that used a mirror and the viewing angle was fine.
WareWolF:
What I mean is space invaders is a rather short machine, and you are supposed to look DOWN on the mirror, not AT it. Imagine putting a monitor in a PAC man machine on a horizontal shelf instead of angled toward the back, same idea I just does not look right and I can't image it is confortable to play for long periods of time.
Machines with monitors on a horizontal shelf usually have the monitor mounted up higher around eye level (Centipede), have the monitor recessed into the machine (Donkey Kong), or have a deep control panel so you stand farther away from the monitor (gauntlet, most fighters, etc)
