Im looking for the black plastic joystick ring, for donkey kong, that goes between the plastic control panel and the wood control panel. Its called the "blind plate" part #TKGU 23-14. I cant find a site that sells that part.

Oh Im also looking for a monitor bezel that goes inside the cabinet.

You can and will probably have to make the bezel out of black poster paper/ tagboard yourself. Originals are brittle, faded and tear easily. They are also floppy and droopy, (ironically those are also Fritz's pet names for his testickles, so try not to get confused.)do a search for "Ninty Mullet" to see what type of material you should be using.
 
I don't even have the black monitor surround/skirt on mine (I do have the paper that hangs down in the back though). You can't even tell the difference because its so dark in there.
 
You can actually use the normal plastic monitor bezel... cut it to fit in the cab. I did this for my DK2... then if you want just a little piece of black paper to cover the small opening towards the back of the cab. Its pricey but works well.

Cool thanks for your help. timerterror suggested using a mat from an art store. I did not realize it was a piece that became brittle, thinking it was plastic. Thanks again.

retroACTIVE thanks for the link. I thought I had all the part sites bookmarked. Love to get new ones! I just ordered the part $4.34 shipped. Really wanted this part.

I bought a matt board for another project for like $5 at a local art store. Worked great! As far as the ring those are hard to come by I hear. I have already given mine away.
