Anyone come across a cheap adapter to put on a CRT karaoke stand or adapted one to take an 17" or 19" LCD monitor

Get a piece of sheet metal and drill some holes in it.  I essentially had to do that to mate the existing platform to the mount.

Those CRT stands have a platform already, the one you set the monitor on. I mated the mount to that. I did that instead of mounting directly so that 1) I could remove the CRT for transport and 2) could get at the back to connect cables.

cheers m8 £6 is alot better than about £35- £40 for a full new stand or about £25 just for a pole mount to fit on the old stand ,and that one of your looks real good and solid.

This is something I've been looking for as well. It appears to be an inexpensive alternative to the ready-made stands costing upward toward $100 (or more). I do have a question on your application. In previewing the new LCD stands, I noticed that they are quite heavy in comparison to the CRT stand. I assumed the added weight was for the purpose of stabilization. Have you encountered any stability problems yet? I've always been wary of the CRT stand for that reason.

No, no problems at all. I have two of them, actually -- one of the new-style and one converted CRT. Neither is a problem.

The beauty of this clamp is that you can take your crt platform/shelf of it's pole and clamp this on, with a LCD monitor, very easily.
