Galaga and Ms.Pac-man Bezel info request

[backflipper]

Hello all,
I am hoping you good people can help. I am having 2 bezels for re-produced with the help of MuddyMusic. As both of my cabs are missing the original bezels I cannot measure up anything to make sure what is going to be printed is correct.

So Searching the internet find that other reproed bezels for both machines measure :

23 inches = 584.2 millimetres

21 1/8 inches = 536.57500 millimetres

Muddy has got some decent images to get printed but when he opens them up to they measure:

Galaga: 584x542mm

Ms. Pac: 584x535mm

So the Ms.Pac-man artwork looks the closest match in dimensions but would mean the galaga would have to be cropped to fit horizontally.

Can anyone advise from there own experience what I should do??

Any help greatly appreciated!

Right, just measured my ms-pacman glass.
The Glass dimensions are 584mm x 536.5mm (bear in mind 0.5 measurements were the closest I could get with a tape measure). So that seems to fit exactly what the repro bezels are.

The print on the reverse of the glass fills the width. Height wise, it starts at the top, but there is a 1.5mm gap with no print on the bottom. So that would mean Muddy's image measurements are spot on for Ms Pac.

Sorry, can't help much with the Galaga though. If it was me, id just crop a bit off if it doesn't touch a significant part of the artwork. You could stretch it, you wouldn't even notice as it would only be about 1%.

I think it's probably going to be fine - the bezel can always be trimmed a few mm if necessary, some of it is usually hidden anyway. The pvc it's printed on can be trimmed with a decent blade and a steel rule.
