Title: Need a 4x3 bezel for my 26” Sony Trinitron
Post by: edhalsim on March 14, 2025, 12:13:53 pm

Hi,
Building a MAME cabinet and I have an old TV I’m using. It’s somewhat curved left to right and fairly flat top to bottom. Does anyone have these for sale anymore?  If not what would be a good alternative?  Thanks.

Make one out of cardboard - you can buy large sheets of thick black card stock or "poster board" from any decent art supplies shop. Or just spray paint it when you've finished.

For Sony Trinitron screens it should be a little easier as they bend in only one plane.

Check out this thread, over 20 years old, on making a "$2 cardboard bezel (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,17175.0.html)".

You could also check out my own efforts for my Aussie lowboy cab (https://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,166352.msg1765519.html#msg1765519).

Bobby13 even made a bezel out of fiberglass. Search the forum if you are keen on that.
