Battlezone Upright Cleanup - no monitor bezel

[sclark]

Hi all,

Tonight I managed to get my Battlezone upright working again, so I'm going to embark on a cleanup and refresh.

Overall it's in good condition, some minor screen burn, plastic front pretty much perfect.

I've got a NOS control panel to swap over, and gels to realign/clean, but it has no monitor bezel.

I'm hoping someone can point me in the direction of either a secondhand or repro monitor bezel.

Better pictures tomorrow

Thanks

Before I forget, huge thanks to Rav for (many years ago now) selling me this battlezone. He sold it in amazing condition, with the spare panel, harness, and boards. So anything I'm doing is building on his work.

Today. the control panel has been replaced with the clean spare.

Much easier than I thought it
might be (3 nuts/bolts, 8 screws and a screw-in start button).

Soon will be the creation of a replacement bezel. I have found images of them on the net, but it's one that seems not to have been reproduced (yet) except within mame. Cue the a3 sheets of paper with variant non-parallel lines to determine how it should fit. First though I may need to tweak the position and shape of my radar (currently more egg than circle).
