Cleaning up a space invaders deluxe and just wondering whose boots I have to lick to remove the cardboard backdrop without totally screwing it up. It looks like it's stapled in, but I can't get to staples with the mirror in there and can't remove the mirror with the backdrop installed. How did they assemble these at the factory, or am I just missing something obvious.
 
reach over the back drop and loosen the two butterfly nuts , slide the bars back then take the front glass off.. you can now get to the front of the mirror.

from the back, i used a long bbq grill spatula and gently prodded the sides until i found the staples then used the corner of the spatula to pry the staple away.
 
I sprayed some watered down "awesomo" i bought from family dollar onto a paper towel lightly and gently wiped the backdrop.. i let it dry then i wiped it down again.
i didnt want the back drop to get too soggy so i took my time.
 
Once the front bezel was removed I found by removing the light bar across the top I had access to the staples for the backdrop. It was only stapled at the top.

Can't believe how dusty the back of the mirror is. Can't wait to see this when it's all cleaned up.
