Gorf Cocktail Cabinet (1981) - What monitor type/size is needed?

[timlah79]

Hello,

I just obtained a Gorf cocktail cabinet that has been since converted to a multicade. The owner put a terrible LCD TV inside instead of a monitor that actually fits it. Can anyone recommend an LCD or CRT monitor model that's the right size? I'm pretty sure the "space" for the monitor is 19" but I can't find the exact specs online or the exact replacement I should buy. Thanks!

I figured out that it requires a 19". So I purchased this LCD replacement. However, the new monitor didn't come with any mounting hardware/spacers or anything. Does anyone know the size nuts and bolts I need as well as how I can ensure that the new monitor sits as flush as possible against the glass? The cabinet still has the old CRT mount I can leverage but the new monitor is going to sit too low. Do I need to buy an additional mounting kit? Or is there something simple from the hardware store I can pick up to raise the LCD upward? Here are some pics showing the current LCD TV in there. It's literally duct taped in there LOL. I want to correctly mount this new monitor. Thanks for any help!
