Can/Should I put a Sony PVM inside a big red MVS?

dagoto19 · Oct 29, 2016

So I've been having trouble with my ol' WG K7000 monitor and after taking it apart and recapping it I decided to give up and wait a few weeks while I send it to a friend of mine to try and fix it.

While I've been waiting I got the idea of putting a 20 inch Sony PVM inside the cabinet.

My question is simple, should I use the PVM as my main arcade monitor? Or just wait around till my board gets fixed and keep the K7000 around?

Also, has anyone had any experience putting a PVM inside an MVS cabinet? I have some ideas of how I would put it inside the cab but nothing concrete.

I put a 20" PVM in my converted one slot. It was convenient that it had a shelf basically in there already; I didn't even de-case it, I just made a couple mounts on the back that hold the feet of the monitor in place.

Looks legit!

Reminds me of a conversion I did with DZ way back in the day.

We grabbed a red huge piece of plastic used in staples for their shelves, cut it to size and slap that Baby blue SNK logo.

Edit: I'm planning to use one of my PVMs in a Saturn Kiosk I got, it could turn out well.

I strongly suggest to NOT put acoustical foam near a PVM like that. That shit is incredibly flammable.

...but it would ruin the design.

True, sometimes when you play games, you gotta bring the heat.

Love that Saturn kiosk. Brings back memories of Toys R Us.

Installing a PVM into your cab will add x10 grailing to your arcade experience.
