I remember seeing a site that gave instructions on making a cardboard bezel years ago. I'm playing around with using computer LCD monitors, that I can buy locally, to use in my machines instead of paying twice as much for and arcade LCD. The problem that I was coming up with was that the plastic 19" bezels just don't seem to fit right on the computer LCD monitors. Either they are too wide or too narrow. After searching for about 20 minutes ...... BINGO! I figured I would post this link if anyone wanted to try this method too.

I know I could butcher up the one I have in my Centipede but I would rather not.

Thanks. I've got two project machines that will need this eventually.

This should save me from having to reinvent the wheel.

Interesting that this thread popped up. I have been looking for someone to send me a beat up warlords cocktail bezel so i could make one for my machine. It took a while for someone to come forward but here's the final result of my patience

Thanks to forum member Hisnice, even though his was a bit beat up it was still alot easier to make new ones from his template than the method the tutorial shows.

Very nice Chris!
 
Does anyone have a pattern or measurements for a Pole Position bezel. I may try to buy one but it would save me some money to make one.
