Greetings enthusiasts!

I recently picked this cabinet up and this is my first Neo Geo. I realized the upper and lower bezel wood pieces are missing but I do have the thinner left/right pieces. Would anyone know the measurements on these to cut new or perhaps someone with these parts for sale? I am also looking for a repro bezel as the one that came with it is pretty jacked.

If no one has them handy from a 2 slot, I could get you measurements for those pieces from my 4 slot big red in the next day or two. I assume the monitor area would be about the same given they're both 25" monitors, but I'm not sure.

Similarly, I've also been thinking about trying to get a new cardboard bezel. Mine is probably in good enough shape to make a template, but this is another thing that I don't know if all 25" cabs share or not (except the 6 slot). I've been curious if I was able to find someone to make a stack of them if there would be enough people interested to make it worthwhile.
 
1/2" thick
1-9/16" height
23-11/16" width

Also only two of the faces are painted black if that matters to you. The 'front' that will face out and one side that will be oriented down on the top piece and up on the bottom piece when installed.

Bottom piece pictured but checked against both just to be sure, they're the same. Hope this helps let me know if I missed anything.

This is from a cab called either 4 slot version 3 (or Deluxe) or Big Red. Basically the 4 slot with the tall marquee and outward facing speakers. I believe dimensions for this part of the cab should be the same as your 2 slot, but can't be certain.

Thank you @lithy I will mock up some pieces with strapping and respond with findings! Is the bezel 2D/Flat? The one I got with the cab is useable as template if correct for the cabinet and bought some stock to reproduce as a backup.

Hey, just judging from the photos yours looks original except those parts on the sides that are taped down to the back I believe are meant to be folded forward and sit to the left and right side of the monitor.

Here are photos of both of mine. I have a long history with the one cab (20+ years) and while I only got the other recently, I believe it is pretty much unmolested (original monitor and still had the original joysticks). So I believe both of these are originals and looks like yours.

If you want to really compare, I can bust out the tape measurer over the weekend.
