Have your dk cab no bezel that you buy ?
Or is the one that you buy nicer than the one on the cab ?
I only need a nice bezel for my cab

You can buy one from Canada for an OK price http://www.ebay.nl/itm/Donkey-Kong-Non-Jamma-Arcade-Pcb-Bezel-/261179225438?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3ccf7eb55e#shId

hmmmmm. didn't mean to quote myself here  :-[

The one from canada is a repro

as always the same advice: spend a little bit more money on silkscreened stuff from professionals and support the arcade community by doing so. if everyone only bought the cheap crap on ebay, the good guys from thisoldgame, gamestencils, quarterarcade and so on would stop producing quality products and the community would suffer from this greatly. just my two cents of course, but seeing cheap inkjet sideart on ebay for 30 bucks less than color-matched silkscreened stuff makes me sad and angry at the same time.

I bought a second hand one myself, I looked OK on the pics. If I don't like it I will buy another one from Mikesarcade. Are these good ones?

I'm not sure what to look at

Good luck with the restoration Robin!
Your DK looks pretty good! Nice to see it's a plywood cabinet, I have a shabby particle board one with complete busted-off corners :)

I'm sorry for the ebay link, I now see that it's only a paper thing and not a bezel

so it's actually really expensive as you have to buy the plexyglass too
