Good monitor idea (I think)

Posted by Dudah on 27, 2001 at 4:12 PM:

Today in study hall, I was thinking about arcade monitors and got to thinking of how people make it so you can rotate it to switch between vertical and horizontal games. Well I have a great idea. Instead of cutting holes on the side of your cab to spin it, why not use motor(s)? You would have to put some electromagnetic shielding (aluminum foil) around the motor to prevent damage to the monitor. But that would be so cool! Have a SPDT switch or keyswitch and rotate the monitor any way you want. Plus you could mount microswitches so when the monitor reaches a certain point, it cuts off power to the motor! Tell me what ya think.
