BB1.5 - 19" monitors to 22".. Difficult?

(1/6) > >>

Harvs:
I was curious how difficult and/or what is needed to swap 19" monitors to 22" in a BB1 with NXT2 (BB1.5).


Any tips/tricks on doing this? I know it takes some cutting, bending, mod'ing, etc.. Hopefully it's not too much of a pain in the arse. - Any info is appreciated.


Thanks!


(Oh, Already have the 22" factory BB2 top and bottom monitors ready for the swap.)

You need to decide on a bezel for the door if you want to use one.  Otherwise it looks unfinished.  I used a BB2 bezel.  Also, you need power and touch screen cables for the top and bottom monitors.  Mounting brackets to hold the monitor in the door.  Lots of cutting to the door, cabinet at the hinge, and to the top chrome piece of the top box so the monitor will fit.  Other than that take your time and make sure the monitor fits perfectly in the door or you will crack the glass if it's too tight when you close it.  Also be aware that you will no longer be letting slamming the door closed since some of the hardware will have to be permanently removed at the door latch that helps support the door when it closes.

Wow, seems like a lot of work... But worth it I think..


Do you have a few pics of the 22" monitor installed? Just to get an idea.. Did you have to make up your own brackets?


I will do some heavy meditating before I dive into the swap.. Every modification has to be perfect I take it.. No going back once the cutting begins..


Thx

No pics handy but yes, made my own mounting brackets as well as the cables.  When doing the cutting it's best to trim extra so the fit is not overly tight.

Here's my WIP conversion from bb1 to bb2.  The NEC is just mounted and held in place because it fits so well, no brackets or screws hold it.  The other monitor I have not yet started, it is the one with the broken touchscreen.  Hard to see in the picture, but it's there.  A note, if you use the 19" Monitor with the 22" top monitor, you won't get the nice logo picture, you will get a WMS log screen with the text 800x600 in 2 inch tall text letters on the top left of the screen.  I didn't have a 19" handy to test to see if you get the logo with dual 19's but my guess is yes, since I saw that this afternoon while I went looking around a casino locally that had a few 1.5 machines on the floor.
