Here is my problem. I'm converting an old arcade cabinet into a MAME cabinet. There was a 25" monitor in there and I replaced it with a 27" Wells Gardner D9200 monitor. Now the bezzle doesn't properly cover the monitor (i.e. it cuts off part of the screen). The outer dimensions of the bezzle are 25" x 25". Can I purchase a new bezzle that will fit this or will I need to have a new one made?

I believe Happs Controls carries 27" bezels. Some people also make their own.

Here's what I did and it worked awesome. I bought a piece of lexan and had it cut to the size of the old glass bezzle and set it in place. I taped off where the monitor goes, and then flipped the lexan over. I taped off the square where the monitor would go and used black spray paint to make the bezzle. You have to put on 3 or 4 light coats but it worked awesome. Looked like I bought it right from the factory. And no matter how mad I get, there is no way I am going to be able to brake that piece of lexan.

Oi! This is just plain painful!
Is it just me or has spelling taken a dive lately?
I can't read these things without cringing!
Spelling counts, people!!

I did this with my 1st attempt- used plexi though. Taped off the screen part with painters masking tape to avoid any bleed thru, and sprayed the backside a few coats of red, to match the red t-molding. It comes out real glossy and shiny once you flip it right side out.
I used a black Sharpie on the backside of the glass before painting and drew a circle where the monitor power button was, as well as a sketched "stencil" of Homer. Once the red was on it, it was sealed in and looked great. Behind the circle in front of the power button(huh?) I glued a small rubber foot like youd find on the bottom of a PC or appliance so you just needed to push the circle to power the monitor
Mind you this was when I was first using a PC monitor and hadn't yet wired an all-in-one power switch
I've switched to tinted plexi now that Im using a TV, and *LOVE* it- with the power off it's all black and when playing, all you see is the screen
