WTB: Original Pac-Man upright glass bezel in great condition..

subject says it all. Twobits.com has them, but their pac parts prices are insane, IMHO.

I know what you mean. I just bought a front art, CPO, and bezel from twobits. The front art was on real thin vinyl and the adheasive on the masking layer seemed stronger than the adheasive on the graphic. The final result was OK, the thin vinyl shows every little imperfection, but the overall look is good. It was not precut or easy to apply, at $85 for the front art I feel like I paid twice what it was worth. The CPO and bezel arrive Monday and I will let you know what I think of those. I DO have high hopes for the bezel as I have heard good things about their bezels. In looking at ebay I realized that a clean bezel plus shipping would run at least half the cost of a new one and they don't seem to pop up often enough.

Well, tentatively, I've decided to make my own bezel. My cab is going to be running mame, but I'm doing everything in such a way that, with a few very easy steps I can convert back to a dedicated Pac if I wanted to. I want instructions for running the cab in the bezel, so I'm doing it custom. If I convert it back, I'll buy the twobits bezel to replace my custom bezel...

By the way, if anyone is interested, I ordered a piece of tempered, smoked glass (3/16" thick) from a local glass place for $30...

Got the beel today, worth every penny of $100. The pics do not do it justice. The instruction cards are so sharp it is hard to believe.
