I need to know which would work best in a Jungle King machine. I have seen Taito cabs that had the standard back door intact, and others with hacked holes and monitor bubbles on the back door. I don't wanna have to cut a hole in my door. Would a 4600 in a vertical mount frame work without having to add the stupid bubble? What monitor/ frame was standard? It seems the 4900 Horizontal frame has too much frame for the cab to handle (depthwise)? I know I can just keep physically trying one til one fits right, but that sounds like a lot of work and I will probably end up breaking a neck somewhere along the line.
 
The key is going to be to have the Taito monitor frame, the weird ass wire one.

I have that as did the other 2 Taito cabs I had. One had the bubble, one didn't, but both had the universal wire mount frame. It was the actual monitor frames that were different.
 
Get a vertical shelf-mount frame (or one of those K7000 frames with the funky small mounting plate in back), attach it to one of those wire frames (i've got one) and you're golden...

So then my vertical mount 4600 would work? Sweet. Ironic that you can only get a vertical mount frame to fit properly in a horizontal game.

I've put a Horizontal frame monitor in a Taito using one of those wire frames - if the monitor is mounted horizontally. Chassis towards the control panel. Should fit just fine. It's when you rotate that frame to vertical that you run into problems...
 
I've had 4 Taito cabs and the only one with the bubble was a Qix that was converted to world series baseball. The monitor was a vertical frame turned horizontal and needed the bubble. - Barry
