I bought a gutted Tron cabinet and am trying to acquire all the parts to restore it. I now have several of the metal pieces, but I know I'm also missing some. Unfiortunately the manual doesn't have good pictures of the parts or how they're mounted.

The main thing that I can't find any details about is how the black plastic bezel that holds the tinted plexiglas is attached. I've looked at dozens of photos online from restoration threads, but none of them show it. Plenty of photos with the monitor removed, or with the plexiglas in place hiding the mounting system.

Does anyone have a picture with the shroud, clear glass and black bezel removed? I've seen a few pictures of Pac Man games that look like they use the exact same black piece and plexiglas, do they mount with the same parts?

Help me complete this jigsaw puzzle!

Yes, Midway games used the same bezel and tinted plexi for Ms.Pac, Spy Hunter, Tapper, Tron, and so on. However Pacman's have a different setup. It consists of two metal brackets mounted on the monitor, bezel, 4 little finger clips with screws, and the tinted plexi.

Also found an old sale thread with a picture:

Looks like brackets that attach to the monitor, then the black bezel mounts to it. I'm calling that part of the mystery solved.
So do the other games you listed use he same mounting system? I guess I should start searching for pictures of Ms. Pac Man resto's.
