Ah, yes, but TV's normally used the forward "ears". So find a 25" colour TV from the 70's/80's and you probably can use the tube. Aim for a RCA or Electrohome if possible...they are almost identical to the monitors inside. Check the second hand shops and thrift stores...<br><br>

the Demolition Derby project I'm working on). Does anyone know where I<br>
can get a 25" color raster monitor (standard or medium res yet to be<br>
determined!) ;^) with the mounting ears forward (not recessed)? <br>
That's what the Demo Derby game uses, and a monitor with recessed ears<br>
won't fit right into the cabinet.<br><br>
I talked to a couple of monitor guys, including WG, and they basically<br>
said "good luck". I guess like over 99.9% of monitors made/sold are<br>
with recessed ears. One person felt that ears forward would only be<br>
found on a special order.<br><br>
