How to: take off the Space Invaders front "glass"?

Good morning,

I recently got a Space Invaders Deluxe game, and have to do some cleaning to the monitor and mirror. Unfortunately, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to pull off the front plexi with artwork off the cabinet. Can someone help?

Thanks,

Robert

I'm not 100% familiar with the deluxe, but if it is like SI, then you have to undo those hold down bars from the back/inside top of cab. Then lift out bezel from the front grabbing the lifter bar on the bottom.

Yes this is correct. Take off the upper back door and look for a metal bar on the top. You should be able to pull it towards you, thus releasing the pressure on the front glass. It's still kinda pain to take off...just lift upwards with the palm of your hands and it should clear the bottom lip. BE CAREFUL :)
 
I believe the bar that slides back has this genius little twist thing installed to hold it in place, you just turn it one way and it unlocks the bar. After you figure it out you're going to go "Damn! That's pretty cool!"
