Let me know what you find out about that.  I was looking at an online place at $45 as well and was wondering about that too.

Arcade Shop has it for $45 and it is great - that's where I got mine.   

You are making real good progress on the cab - getting it 3D is a big milestone - now you actually have something to work on instead of random pieces laying about the shop.   :cheers:

Haha...its the only thing i think about...

Im a HUGE hockey fan, and yesterday I listened to the gold medal game on the radio while I was in the workshop working on the cab.... instead of watching it...Idk if I would have done that for a Caps game...but im really excited about getting this thing up and running, hoping that I can start painting or at least prepping for paint in the next few weeks.

Also, do you have to order over the phone from them? Thats where i found it last night, and I was just about to call him.

This is what I am afraid of, and right now, im at a point where I can easily make some new bottom and top pieces if the bezel wont fit.

Anyone know where to get a Bezel for a decent price?

Dont get ahead of your self yet...Remember you are building a stratch built...something might come up to where the measurements are off...
See what the measurements are for the DK cab and cut out cardboard or (something cheap) and use them as a test pieces...if then if they are good then worry bout getting the actual bezel/marquee....

Another thing too if you want...it might be cheaper...but you can find the artwork for the DK cab...you can then take it and get the artwork printed and then you can apply it on pexi, glass, etc, whatever you choose...

nm, just called a ordered The Bezel, Bezel under decal, and the Coin decal $64 shipped! Awesome place!  :cheers:

Now here are my thoughts for the Control Panel...

I dont know if I am going to build one... I am thinking about just buying a control panel from Mike's arcade, its only $85. I figure that after i buy the joysticks, strikes, and the artwork, plexi, and prolly screw it up it will be easier and cheaper to just buy one...haha

But I do plan on building my own custom 2 player panel that I will be able to swap out with this one

Arcade Shop is GREAT.  You will not be disappointed.  You are right about the control panel - it is almost a wash to order all of the parts separately and build it yourself.  Note that the $85 CP doesn't have a Nintendo stick installed - it is way more money otherwise.  I love the feel of JLFs and I wanted the challenge of building the CP myself so that's the route I went.  I love the way it came out so I have no regrets although there were a few times I was wishing I had just ordered the thing!
