Marquee is 28”x5”. I think that’s normal or thereabouts. Certainly, it was easy enough to find artwork at rockstar print to meet that size. The 4 screws hold the perspex screen onto the bezel, not hold the bezel. They will be chrome dome capped, but I won’t put those on until I’ve removed the protective wrapping and completed things. |

28 x 5 is wildly disproportionate compared to a real cab. |
| Gilrock:
Yeah bezel / bezel cover whatever you want to call it. Like a real arcade cab can have a bezel for the CRT but they still call the glass with the graphics a bezel. Anyways I would have designed it so that sits captive behind the piece at the top and the control panel. And yes a typical marquee would have a width that is around 3.25 times the height and yours is 5.6 so its not normal. Problem is when folks just build something and then post it they don't really want to hear design feedback. If you post your design ideas first then at least we would feel like you considered the ideas and made an informed choice. |

Looks nice so far. I hope you plan on a different location for it in the end. Player 2 will suffer being against that wall and force player 1 to move further away to the left at an awkward angle. |

Next update in 2024? Don't feel bad. I started my cab in 2013. Effectively, I'm still building it, albeit with some small diversions along the way (currently writing a new Front End). They're a true rabbit hole. |
