OK, so I got an old original Ms. Pac Cab the other day, and I am waffling about what to do with it... I was thinking mame, but am now leaning towards putting a console inside with an HDTV (I've got a pretty cool theme in mind). Anyway, I've got the original glass with the painted bezel art that seems to be in really good condition. Now, it makes sense for me, if I am not doing a vertical monitor, to just remove the art somehow, as the glass is already cut to the right size for the cab. On the other hand, the bezel is quite beautiful and going on 30 years old, so I have some reservations on whether it would be better to sell it off and go through the trouble of getting new glass cut or attempting to do some acrylic myself (which would be less quality, and I may not come out ahead money-wise).
Any thoughts? Re-purpose the glass (assuming the art comes off clean with paint thinner or whatever), or sell it and get something else?
???

Sell the bezel, I'm sure someone could use it in a restore. Or even as a display piece in a gameroom.

Give it to me.
If you can't do that sell it.

Alright, if I end up not using it, I will post it up in the B/S/T forum. Thanks for the feedback!

The glass probably isn't without defect. I'd sell it and use the money to buy brand new glass.
