MVS cabinet question

[Tanooki]

Mine while in excellent shape I feel is missing something. Around the 19" screen you can see where it's bolted in and the light from behind if a source is behind the machine.

Did SNK include some kind of black border around the screen you slide in under the glass or should there have been something affixed to the glass itself?

Post a pic of yours so we can see if it looks like something is missing.

19" screen? That may be why the bezel doesn't hide all the mounting crap. What cab is it?

What cab is it?

If you (OP) don't know where to look, check hardmvs.com

Sounds like you're missing what's being discussed in this thread. I think it's a cardboard monitor bezel in its original form. Here's one I found quickly in eBay:

 

[Max_Headroom]

Yeah the "bezel". Is there any cardboard stuff around the tube behind the tempered glass?

 

[TheSegaDude]

My Neo Geo Big Red cabinet has a 25" Wells Gardner k7000 monitor and there is a black cardboard bezel behind the glass.

It rests against the monitor and it is not attached or glued in any way. If I remove the glass the bezel will come out easily.

My bezel looks similar to this one:

Here's a picture of my cabinet but it's hard to see the bezel:

Bah was f'd that up, it's 25" not 19" and yeah it must be the bezel, couldn't think of it when I wrote that. I was at work, a tad distracted. I'm at work now too, just fed up staring at it for the moment. At the bottom I put a picture of the cabinet from the day I got it in the house before I put it in its final resting place to the right of my desk here. Every work day while I am at it since my screens are set to the side I have NEO*GEO MVS staring me in the face just over the top.

MVS-2-25 That's what I have. You can see around the rounded edges of the monitor into the machine and the mounting bolts around the top/bottom of it. TheSegaDude there nailed it. Black fitted should be resting there bezel is missing.

I did know of HardMVS, I did some heavy research and bookmarking of things once I got the cabinet as I don't like to be stupid about stuff if issues pop up or when I try to restore/replace things. Did the same with my Pin-Bot machine too.

That's cool, didn't mean to talk down to you, only trying to help...

Good looking cab btw., hope you find a Bezel or can make one (maybe SegaShelfQueen can measure his).

Spoiler:

Temple of Doom is weak.

 

[Tanooki]

I didn't think you were, and yes Temple of Doom is weak, but I got that basically within days of the ride opening at Disneyland like 20 years ago and it was the only one left. I've got minis of the other 2 old ones, then a full size of Crystal Skull to the right of ToD. And if anyone is looking for more joke value, no MG2 is not giving Godzilla a robo-handy.

The cab I've cleaned up since, it's really very very nice inside and out, just lacks the bezel is all. I'll have to see about finding one for it I suppose. It's kind of odd that it's missing.

The SegaShelfQueen would be happy to measure the bezel if Tanooki thinks that would help.

My cabinet was refurbished by the guy I bought it from so I don't know if what I have is stock but it works well.

And I agree. Your cab does look very nice. Once you have a bezel it will look excellent!

 

[Fygee]

I wouldn't mind getting new ones either if this becomes a thing.

The two I have in each of my cabinets have creases in the corners.

When making the bezel, I've found using heavy grade card stock works great. Some Neos have a red bezel and others have black bezel.

 

[Tanooki]

Some company put one up on ebay shortly ago in red with the Samurai Shodown II set of sticks glued to it, but it's meant for Fatal Fury I guess due to a sticker, plus it has a few bends in it and they want $75 which seems greedy to me.

 

[mr_b]

You could easily make your own. At the very least you can use that till you can find a proper bezel at a much more reasonable price.

 

[Max_Headroom]

What happened to the sheet of tempered glass? You still have that, right?

I ended up not bothering replacing my bezel because it wasn't bad enough to justify it, but you can literally just buy some black posterboard and a square in it and it should be perfect.

I don't follow, nothing happened to it. It's still mounted there. I've only removed it once to date just to clean the glass on both sides.

and clearly you cleaned it *very* well. grin.

I'm sure that's some sex joke but I don't get it.

welcome to neo-geo.com...

 

[pepelegit]

I'm sure that's some sex joke but I don't get it.

nope. just thought it was funny that it was so clean people weren't even seeing it.

 

[Tanooki]

Ahh well it is neo-geo.com though. I've had quite a few mention that, but the only other image I have of it is my 4 year old playing Bust-A-Move and you can see it in that, but I don't like putting my kids picture online.
