Replacing Egret 3 Monitor - do you have to de-frame???

[Shinsengumi]

So the existing monitor in my E3 has burn and I am looking to replace it with a NOS Tosh PF that I recently acquired...

Looking at the existing monitor, it's not really on a frame at all, but two separate metal bars with the chassis on a shelf attached to the cab.

Looks like a new monitor will absolutely needed to be de-framed and installed on these bars if installed horizontal, but what about if vertical?

Perhaps this was meant to be my dedicated shmups cab...

Thanks!

The bars are also needed when installing in tate.

I have my AWSD in tate (but with an MS9 instead) and it’s my favorite cab for tate

BTW: wow, a NOS Tosh PF

Thx gamezer0!

I paid out the nose (shipping was brutal) but I am hoping it was worth it!!!

Anything crt-related is super expensive these days but surely it’s one of the most beautiful monitors I’ve ever seen! Wish I had one. Enjoy!!

Yeah, @gamezer0 is correct.

Those mounting brackets are a must to mount any monitor in the AWSD/E3 cabinets.

Then comes the matter of modifying your chassis bracket to fit your new monitor chassis, hence alot of the people who installed PFX's in theirs, getting brackets from @themisterfalcon recently.

I was lucky enough to get 3 NOS PFX's, and 2 of them went into my AWSD's.....it makes a world of difference to have them, or Tosh's, in place of those wei-ya monitors.
