Has anyone shoved a 27" into a Dynamo cab?
« on: August 19, 2009, 08:31:24 am »
Hey guys, I think I asked this a while back but can not find the original post.  I want to shove a 27" Wells Gardner 9800 monitor ( http://www.wellsgardner.com/products/details.asp?iCat=2&iSubCat=47 ) into two of my cabs.  One is a Midway NBA Jam/Mortal Kombat cab and the other is a Dynamo 25" cab, does anyone know if I can do this?  If so, what about the bezzel size?

Thanks

TOK

Twice.  :)

Its a tight squeeze horizontally. I had to trim some of the cab stringers and I made a new mount with handholds because its so crammed in there. The main thing I'd say to be careful with is your depth. The 27" tube is much deeper and will bump the bezel if you don't set it back a bit.

You can't really see them in the pics (its actually not even installed in the second cab when I took them), but I just made bezels out of black foamboard. Since there isn't much depth from the bezel, I just wanted something flat to hide the bolts and monitor mount board.

I also put a 27" monitor in a 25" Golden Tee. I never really thought about it until this post, but it seems like kind of an affliction.  ;D

TOK, I love you bro!  Thanks, this has been aggrivating me for a long time.  Now I can finish a few projects...
