I have a Neo Geo 1 slot that I am putting back together. The last thing im missing/need to make are the 2 wood strips that sit in front of the monitor. I'm hoping someone would be so kind as to take a few measurements of them so I can make them. I think the 1 slot cab and the 2 slot cab are the same. I will attach a picture of what im looking for (it's circled in white). Thanks in advance!

I could help with measurements at least, I'm (...assigning a mostly random number to portray a pretty good level of confidence...) 87% sure that these should be the same for any red Neo cab except the mini. They all got 25" monitors.

One note for you, there are the two sides on the left and right like your photo that are screwed down and then removable pieces that sit at the top and bottom to make the whole bezel frame (I think these are also called cleats?). Do you have those pieces too? I measured them for someone else a little while back.


I have 4 slots with the tall marquee, I have two cabinets, one with good guts but a broken side panel and one with mostly good wood but no guts that I want to Frankenstein in a single nice cab but the good one is missing these wood pieces as well so I will need to remove them from the junk cab anyway to move them over. Give me a day or two to find a minute and I'll pull them and measure if you want to make your own. Sorry, don't have any spares though.

The screws are countersunk black flat head phillips wood screws, 1-1/4" long, but I don't have the exact size or thread pitch. They're probably like most of the other black wood screws used elsewhere on the cabinet.

Just like the other piece, only two sides of this piece are painted black, the front and side facing out. The back and side facing the cabinet panel are unpainted.

It probably doesn't matter too much, if you have existing holes, just measure to those, but on the one I pulled, the screw holes were about 4-3/8" from the top down to the top screw hole and about 4-3/4" from the bottom up to the bottom screw hole. Then the two screw holes end up being about 11-3/8" apart center to center.

Hope that helps.
