Those are a one piece cabinet. Or at the absolute best it takes itself and the marquee off, dropping a whopping 40 lbs from the weight of the cabinet.
I have never seen a factory 2 piece upright that used any other design besides the monitor head design (which was really popular with Atari from 1984 to 1989).

Yep. I thought you just meant that the sides are in two pieces. Is the lusid style really meant to be made so you can take the monitor part off? I thought it was just for looks. ???

In the UAII design, the original plans have you screwing the upper-sides to the lower part of the cabinet. So from that standpoint, it's all for show. I changed it around and plan to bolt the top to the bottom, though.

SUB ZERO:
yeah ... usually anyone who plans to disassemble their UAII typically uses angle iron to bolt the two halfs together.
It's just they most people need have any intentions are tearing it down once it's all together ;D
