Nintendo cabinet scratch build

[Jumpman]

Hi,
i'm building a nintendo cabinet from scratch and need some help. I still don't know if it's going to be a donkey kong, donkey kong jr, or 3.
This is how it looks right now .
The bezel and marquee holder are homemade and i need to paint them black.
Right now i need the dimensions of the viewing area of the original nintendo monitor (SANYO EZ20) because i'm searching a tv to use.
I'm also willing to buy a control panel even if the wood is in bad condition but the overlay and controls are in recuperable condition.
I'm a student so i don't have a lot of free time, money and access to the cabinet all year so i will not post updates very frequently.
Thanks for the help.

Donkey kong 3 doesnt get enough love i think, but Donkey kong is so much better 

im glad i dont have to make that decision

Can someone with a SANYO EZ20 measure the viewing area of the monitor?

I think I have a Bezel and a marquee and a Control Panel overlay .

For what game? Can you send me some picture?

What size? I ask because I have a MissCmd cocktail with a 14" Sanyo EZ20 in it. Can't take all this stuff for granted!

Sorry, i tought there was only one size. The one in the nintendo upright cabinets should be 19 inch.

Small update:
I find a cheap jamma cabinet with a neo geo one slot board so the nintendo cabinet is going to be a vertical monitor cab ( no VS. or mario bros).
I also found a 19 inch tv with scart to use.
Now i "only" need to find a control panel (or at least an orignal joystick), marquee, bezel, coin door and pcb.
If someone in the US finds some beat up cabinet but with recuperable parts i will be happy to buy them.

Small update... I'm finally home and can work on the cabinet. Recently on the web i found some accurate plans for the cabinet and i've checked mine and is "only" 5mm taller. Right now i need to make the slot for the t molding but i don't have a router, i need to find a cheap one.
I still haven't found the marquee, bezel, control panel, pcb, top and bottom bezel retainer. If someone has some of this items please contact me.
