Going back to your jukebox build, what did you use for the sound?  What speakers are those and what did you power them with?  Was considering a similar style wall box but I wasn't sure what I wanted for sound.

The speakers are nothing special came from a $30 speaker box at walmart think they are Scosche HD brand. powered from hacked up pc speakers. I plan to redo this jukebox and use a proper speaker setup sometime soon.

Thanks emphatic

Today I got some grayscale  test prints made to see how the cp and bezel looked

But the hexagons were too small

Then remade  the hexagon pattern double the original size and happy with it


Now I just need to figure out how to put the oval bit around the player 1&2 start and the art will be ready to print.

I like how those two pieces blend together. Is it seamless unless you know it?

Update time
Today I got the screen installed but my bezel does not fit so going to have to get a new one made may put a temp black one on for now

Horizontal


Vertical


To rotate the screen just undo the nut and rotate the screen then tighten it back up

Since your screen rotation is manual, you might want to swap that hex nut out for a wing nut.

My local Lowes didn't have any wing nuts that fit ill probably check ace whenever I get around to it though I don't keep the nut tight just enough to keep the screen from moving forward
