Title: Best source for Nintendo monitor bezels?
Post by: Tarantulas on June 11, 2014, 11:14:19 pm
I need to replace the black cardboard bezels on my DK Junior cabinet.  Any recommendations for a source, or do people just make their own these days?

Thanks!

Hi Tarantulas,

For the last Nintendo cab that I did, I made my own. I had one when I bought the cab, but it was falling apart. Making your own is really easy.

Just got get yourself a piece of black poster paper from Staples/Office Max/Office Depot.. whatever.

Measure out the interior dimensions of the cabinet to get the width and height, then grab the measurements from the left, right, top and bottom to the monitor.

Then, take a ruler with an x-acto knife or a box cutter and cut to size.

There should be a bit of overlap from the bezel to the monitor, so just use some double sided tape to keep it in position.

Good luck!

Yeah, I agree... it's just black card board. Make your own.

This guy on KLOV also repros them:

Yep, just get the black project board at Walmart.
