Just wondering if the glass in front of the monitor on a Congo Bongo is tinted at all or just clear? I know there is a redish carboard bezel - so I would assume if it was tinted at all you wouldnt see that real well... Can anyone clarify this?

It's just clear plexi. Mine also has a form fitted tinted plastic sheet that adheres to the CRT. I think some of the Sega vectors from this time had those on the tubes as well. Pretty neat actually!
 
Mine had clear glass...

I so tried to like that game when i was a kid but couldn't master that fake 3D thing they were going for.... If I had the opportunity to bang on one of those again I would.
 
No kidding, I wish there was some repro art available, I've only rarely seen a cabinet with intact side art.

I had planned on scanning that cab's other side, as the art was complete, but I ended up dumping it quick in order to save a Midway Space Invaders from multi-death...
