Shame this never happened, looking to refurb mine next year and the bezel is crap . Just like those flimsy plant pots you can get.

Anyone else do a stronger replacement ?

I had forgotten about this thread!

I know there's a bunch of us that would be in for Pony Mk3 25, Aero, Swing, etc.

Ah man, Yeah I was doing this years ago now, with a lot of failures(and money spent) along the way, basically we tried doing Vacu-forming of some ABS and I forgot PP or PS maybe? The resulting bezels were REALLY thin and broke pretty easily, even worse than the original ones. So after a ton of tries and a lot of money wasted I was going to put it in the back burner. Thicker sheets were a little bit expensive and at the time I was short on cash to experiment some more. I will get back to this, I am in a very good place financially now, we even bought a house with a workshop space and everything. Might even try fiberglassing this. :)

I remember that in the killercabs forum days an Aero style 26" bezel was available from an Australian (?) seller. It was more robust than the stock bezel and with a pinseal texture.

:problem:

They were pretty much the same production style as the 18" ones you can get on YHJ. Weird that they're selling only the 18" size.

I'd be more than happy with one like the one in the picture if they done a 26" version.

Looks sturdy and I like the textured finish.

The guy that made the mini cute repros had 20" bezels made in that style. Maybe if there is enough interest...

I'll see if I can find it but it was a few years ago and I haven't checked YHJ recently.

If you have one that is utterly knackered, this thread on ukvac may be of interest. Pretty neat (and I guess cheap!) option.

It would be great to have a nice replacement. I’m in if something ever gets going.

Well, from experience- at least on the Table side of things- we'd need to get a list of people. I have a few spare reproduction coin doors and control panel boxes that I see some familiar names here that expressed interest.

Of the 4-5 forums I frequent, there's at least a dozen aero tables out there that need various bits. Probably 20x as many Aero cabinet owners.
