VECTOR: Re: Tempest Bezels

BTW, I'm in the process of converting my traced Tempest bezel into a autocad
format so I can have some professional laser-cut bezels made for myself and a
couple of friends. We were also thinking of making some for Space
Duel/Gravitar/Black Widow and possibly others (Tempest cabaret, Quantum...)
These would be made out of posterboard/cardboard and for easier cutting and
shipping made in two sections that could be glued together (unlike the one piece
original).

I don't know the cost yet, but if there is any interest, please e-mail me
privately and I'll see about getting a batch made up for the vectorlist.
