Title: Custom built Bezel URL
Post by: Jeehemdee on August 07, 2002, 11:38:19 am

There is in the topic "Monitor" (on the arcadecontrols.com site) a link to Big Den's Gameroom, which offered a tutorial on creating your own bezel...
(http://gameroom.godfrey.com/bezel.cfm)

Sadly, the link is dead...

Would someone have a copy of those pages ?
Or anything else similar ?

I can recall that this was a very well done tutorial..and that the result looks really pro (I should have saved this at that time...hope that someone did it..)

Many thanks,

no thumbnails... but if you click on where the image is supposed to be it will take you to the full size image...

wasn't cached in google either from what I could tell...

*shruG* hope that helps...

The very last version is here http://web.archive.org/web/20010803061431/www.densgameroom.com/index.cfm?act=tutorial_bezel (http://web.archive.org/web/20010803061431/www.densgameroom.com/index.cfm?act=tutorial_bezel). I checked and found that is domain expired.  :-[ I guess he won't be back.

I found him via email and now have his permission to reprint. Also his site may be back soon. I'll edit the link later but for now use this http://mamehost.com/pages/den/bezel_creation_tutorial.php (http://mamehost.com/pages/den/bezel_creation_tutorial.php)

WOW!  What an amazing job he did!!!

Now the question... could you do this, and make it look good without having one to trace?

I am about to buy one from happs.  (went from a 19" to a 27" monitor).  I've been putting it off for finacial reasons, and I had to move my monitor before I did it.  

Anway, I would love to create one

Without one to trace? No. But there should be one around here somewhere.....

CALL TO ARMS!!

Anyone with any 27" Bezels that they can trace?  And a scanner?

Actually any size?  I'm sure others would appreciated it!

I was gonna scan the one in the garage but realized it was the one piece plastic type like Happ sells. :( So I'll use that on the cocktail. I'll keep looking. You never know what I'll find.

Oh. If anyone does find one. Scan at least 1/2 of the top or bottom and a side. ;)
