Will any kind of round 29 inch monitor fit into the following machines:
Sega New Astro City
Neo Candy 29
Do they have to be the exact kind of monitors that shipped with them originally?

Re: Monitors for Candy Cabinets
The curvature needs to roughly match, or else the bezel won't fit. Otherwise it doesn't particularly matter. Rule is that a flatter tube will generally fit a curved bezel (with gap), but vice versa you run into trouble. One trick I found out is that if you mount the tube incorrectly, that is with the tube ears behind the frame instead of in front of the frame, you get a gap between the tube and the bezel that can be (ab)used to fit a mismatched tube type in a certain cabinet.
