Re: new question- converting monitors from Vertical to Horizontal is it possible?

I picked up for cheap cheap a Pleades game that was converted to a Renegade.

Since the Pleades was a vertical G07 monitor and the Renegade required a
horizontal monitor.... the person who did the conversion made some blocks,
bolted the vertical mount monitor to the side of the cabinet (with the
spacer blocks to center the monitor), then added a support for the "far"
end of the monitor.

Quite hack... geez... you'd think G07s were rare or something :-) could
have just switched the chassis :-)

Only choices are to changed monitors, or rotate 90 degrees.... the difficulty
of doing so depends on your monitor mounting method(s).
