I remember someone posting a swivel mount option that bolted to the existing TV mount for a 179 allowing the TV be angled down. Any help would be appreciated.

JandL, that is a nice mount. I am trying to find one commercially available, the one shown is fabricated.

On page 2 and 3 there are links to some Amazon mounts. I am not sure what model of television you have but you can check to see what VESA pattern the mounting holes are on the back of it, and do a Google search for TV swivel wall mount, VESA 75x75(3"x3"), 100x100(4"x4") or what ever it turns out to be

It's this one:

You just remove the section that connects to the TV and drill out two holes to 1/2". It doesn't give as much tilt as the homemade one, but it's enough for watching straight-on from the dinette.

Thanks everyone. The Bum - does it swivel down enough to watch it from the Queen Bed? Not really in my plans but I don't want to exclude possibilities. I will research these mounts all, many thanks.

Retroactive, did you replace the entire arm or just the mounting plate?

Hate to keep going here but I assume everyone has the same 19" Jensen TV, right?

I do. I plan to scope out 24" TVs during Black Friday this year though.

Yes, I swapped out the whole thing. You have to drill new holes into the wooden stud behind the paneling, but no modification the the actual arm or brackets is necessary.
