Could an Arcade monitor be put into a TV case?

[Jack Burton]

Does anybody know whether or not an arcade monitor would fit into an old tv case, maybe one of those old RCA floor models?

I'm looking to have a "TV" to play NES and SNES games on their native resolutions and I just happen to have a 25" arcade monitor setting around doing nothing.

I'm pretty sure as long as the mounts line up it would be an easy switch.  Adding in a power supply and switch shouldn't be a problem either, I could probably even hack it to use the TV's power button.

Has anybody here done something like this?

some monitors used zenith and rca crts. so yes, if u wanted to do that.
  the potential problem might be matching the bezel to the crt curvature .
 so, suggest using a matching brand cabinet 

who made ur crt ?

Mine is a wells gardner that came in a Mortal Kombat cabinet.  I'll have to wait until the weekend when I can get to it to tell you the model number.

I've thought of doing this with a flat screen CRT. Problem was I couldn't find a dead flat CRT TV. Not yet.

I am not sure if it would fit. 

I just wanted to let you know that you can get 15Khz RGB out of a Super NES if you wanted to connect it to your arcade monitor.

Dont forget to use an isolation transformer, fi your using an arcade chassis.

Thanks, but it would need to be "27, and in any case I'm preferring something local.
