You probably will have to fabricate something maybe out of plexiglass perhaps? Here's a picture of what looks like your game with the original glass on it. As for the bezel you can probably find the proper size and just make a dark cover to go around it with wood or anything dark, or anything you can paint black.

The standard Cal Omega glass is 19 5/8 high X 19 7/8 wide is this the size you need?

I'm not sure I will measure it soon. Do you know where I can find a cheap 13 inch crt monitor, I want to try to keep it original.
Thanks,

In this picture of my machine you can see a cutout on the coin door area, any idea what that is for?
Thanks,
Justin

I brightened the cutout area so we can see it better. Is that a push rod just above the cutout area? Maybe this cutout opening is where a coin box was installed, you would turn a key to unlock it and then slide the coin box outward? What does the other side of the cabinet look like, is there a coin chute that sends the coins from the coin entry down to this cutout area? Just to the right of this cutout opening there is a smaller opening, maybe that is for the coin return of rejected coins. On the coin entry you can see a plunger that you press down, I think that is for coin return, and the returned coin would fall into that smaller opening just to the right of the larger opening. Inside the cabinet there was probably a mechanical coin acceptor (coin mech) that would accept or reject the coin that someone inserted. If the coin mech accepted it then the coin would be sent over to the coin box. As the coin passed thru the coin mech it would trigger a switch that put a play credit on the machine. just a guess...

Also I just realized that the machine is supposed to have a mechanism to give out coins. Where would I get that as mine did not come with any.

Do you mean a coin return mechanism or a coin acceptor mechanism?

If you mean a coin acceptor then there are many different coin mechanisms for accepting a coin, the kind your machine needs probably looks similar to the photos below. There are low cost ones that are made of plastic, others are metal. They mount on the inside of the machine, just below the coin entry. These type of coin acceptors are purely mechanical, no electrical power is needed to operate them. But you will need a switch below the coin acceptor for the coin to activate a game play credit. There might be some coin mechs that come with the coin switch.

You can find new and used coin mechs for sale lots of places, like ebay, places that sell arcade or slot machine parts, etc. There might be someone here on NLG that has a quarter coin mech for sale.

Since you have been able to play this Cal/Omega video poker machine by using the monitor you have from your other machine how did you put credits on the game and get it to play?

Is that bottom drawer with the coin bucket for overflow coins, to catch coins when the smaller coin box that slides into the opening (just below the lock) gets full of coins?

Looks like the right size hole that a bill acceptor might plug real nice.  Might have a screened front pexi if a standard size fits your game.

Only monitor Plexiglas I have is for a Pixels it is in good shape 6 color silk screen.  Don't let the label "amusement only" fool you Cal Omega only made gambling games.  905/ 922 game boards had no provision for a hopper, they used a knock off switch and paid over the counter.  Dozens of games are available some skill games others games of chance most have adjustable odds.  Pixels  is a cool game played like poker with people that run onto the screen with a pitter patter sound, good graphics and sound.  To convert your 922 game board to Pixels you need to change 7  2532 EPROMs 1 16 pin color PROM all in sockets easy to change.  Cabinet and control panel wiring is the same you need to change the button labels.  Send me an email if your interested.

What let me to believe that this had a coin out hopper was because there are two coin counters (the black box with the numbered dials) that have labels put on them reading "IN" and "OUT". When I read those I though Out huh, maybe that is what the hole in the top door is for a coin out slot? anyone have any information on this

I think Dormi is the source for information on these CEI Games. If you machine has a shelf inside with a slide plate and a plug, more they likely it did have a payout hopper. Have you tried a google search or look on YouTube for anything? I myself have ever worked on the smaller slot machine versions, never an upright.

Coin door hole in for a bill acceptor without a stacker.  905 and 922 (your board) boards have no circuitry for a hopper your game has a knock off switch for hand payment
