Find a model with a depth of around 19" and take the back off. There is a cavity in the back to protect the tube. I think the one I got would work. It's 19" deep and if you just pull the back off it should fit. It's an RCA F25645, and it's a stock item at Best Buy. BB sells it at list though. Just have to be real careful with the tube once it's exposed.
Or you can gut the TV & bolt the CRT straight into the cabinet. That's how Genom did his, squeezing a 27" into a smaller space then my 25". After he got the case off the TV you could see there is a lot of wasted space in the back.
He also found instructions inside the back of the chassis for hacking into the TV's onboard computer. Webpage time Genom =)
: I decided that I want to try to put a TV in my cab after doing some testing with svideo. After looking at my cab I think I will have a problem. Although the screen area in my cab can accomodate a 25" screen I don't have enough depth for the 25" models I've seen with svideo. Has anyone seen any 25" TV that have a depth of less than 18 1/2" and have an svideo connector??
: Please let me know if you seen one.
: Thanx
