<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">That Panasonic is puuurdy. But yeah, 32" is BIG, and will make for a heavy cabinet for sure.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">I talked with a gaming friend of mine at length about it and he also recommended doing a side - by -side with the raspberry pi and a CRT. Wanna do this on friday? He also thought the pi might actually be > than PC because
of lightweight OS improvements...I'm actually tending to agree that we that route.</p>

<div>Hello Noisebridge.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
We, the NGALAC/Maker Faire 2018 team, are looking for a CRT to use for the NGALAC, the "retro" arcade cabinet we're building for the Noisebridge Booth at Maker Faire. (There will be a more detailed announcement about this project soon, but we are looking for
help.)
<div><br>
</div>
<div><a href="https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/NGALAC" target="_blank">https://www.noisebridge.net/<wbr>wiki/NGALAC</a><br>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Currently, We're looking for a 19" to 25" CRT with VGA in and a curved, not flat, screen. If anyone has recommendations on where to get a good monitor to install in the cabinet, please let us know.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I called "Weird Stuff" in Sunnyvale, and they said they didn't have any. I've also been looking on ebay and craigslist. Some Ebay sellers have large Sony PVM monitors, but they tend to be out of our budget range, especially once including shipping.</div>
<div><br>
<div>Today I got a Panasonic CT-32L8G from Craigslist, for us to hopefully start development with.<br>
<div>Photos of it are at <a href="https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/NGALAC#Parts_Gathering" target="_blank">

</div>

</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It has component , s-video, and composite video inputs and seems like a good start for our development, but it may be too large for the final cabinet. It is now at Noisebridge.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So if anyone has leads, please let us know.</div>
