Atari Cocktail Bezel

Pages: << < (2/3) > >>

Tailgunner:

AFAIK all early Atari bezels are cardboard. Smoked plexi would hide the lack of one somewhat, but you're probably still see the edges of the tube and mounting brackets.

All cocktail tops are tempered, to better support the wait of those distracting table dancers. ;)

FrizzleFried:

Do all cocktails utilize the topglass?  It looks like the table would look pretty spiffy without the topglass,  but with slightly beveled smoked glass for the centerpiece.

Tailgunner:

All of them I've ever seen do, keeps people from spilling drinks into the guts.

Rocky:

With the smoked plexi, I think a homemade black posterboard / cardboard bezel would be fine.  I'm going that route.  As long as it is black and blocks the view / light it should do the job.

And, the originals were all tempered glass.

RayB:

I can attest that without the glass, plus a nice brand new piece of smoked plexi, it DOES look damn nice. (But as mentioned, there are practical concerns)

Regarding the bezel, buy one from Arcadeshop. It does hide some things even with the smoked plexi.
