|
|
How big is the screen on the arcade? The reason I ask is that I am building an arcade clone and I found a TV at a local Goodwill store, perfect condition, $3.95. It's 19"
I'm guessing this is AROUND the size of the arcades screen, because I always remembered being rather close to the screen.
Thanks! _________________

And if I don't get an answer soon, I'll do the second. :-P I'm sure there is someone here who owns an arcade. _________________

Ok, I'm going to make a close estimate and say 24-26 inches. That's what it seems to size around. _________________

I email an arcade supplier and they said it was 29"
Someone on the board also said the same thing. _________________

Make sure that the viewable areas are the same. Often times manufactures will use the diagonal width of the entire unit in advertisements. |
