Money is not there to reproduce this part. Repo on a good day is 1/3 value of a crappy original.
Just as well. Some things should be left to source original. This can take years. When found great joy.

As odd as this may sound, I believe there may be a way to have plastic "chromed," that someone on this board is aware of. I'll do some research. Stay tuned... hopefull

It is possible to chrome plastic.  There is also some chrome paints that could be put on plastic. 

In theory, you could 3D print a new bezel and chrome paint / plate it.  Maybe a nice looking plastic one could be molded?  I think either would be a good option.  No way to confuse a repo for a real one and it might be affordable.

I can't help but wonder why so many VMC machines are missing bezels? 


when i read this i wasnt sure if it was said tongue in cheek, like there is

some easy explanation that most know but some dont....well i dont......


so if there is an easy answer....


if there isnt an easy answer......  [what do i know over the pond here!]


firstly,

are they actually missing off a machine or been replaced with a vendo bez

if replaced, was there a manufacturing overlap between vmc and vendo?

or did the combined company maybe only supply vendo replacement option

as spare part after production of both models eventually stopped............


i know...after all this.......theres an easy answer....................................
