left over piece of Tron
« on: December 18, 2008, 08:33:13 am »
Any body know where this goes in a Tron cabinet?  A few months ago I came across a Tron cabinet for sale on Craigslist.  I went looked at it and it was in good shape.  In talking to the guy he said he had the rest of it in his basement.  Well I looked at it and long story short I got it all.  It has sat for a couple of months till had time to put it back together.  Well I have all done but the t-molding, not ordered yet, new power supply, on its way, coin door, needs to have rust taken off and be repainted, and coin bin, being repainted.  But I have one left over piece.  That would be this thing below.  It was rusty so I took the rust off and I am repainting it so it will not rust as fast now.  It is 23 inches long with 3 holes.  It must be a bracket for something but I do not know what or where.

As a SWAG, possibly a marquee retainer?

I suspect it might go along the control panel area, possible between control panel and bottom of what's in front of the control panel. Could be anything really, but 23" tells me it's somewhere along the "front".  ;D
NO MORE!!

I was thinking the glass retainer, but yea, same idea.  The manual has pics of the cabs, without exploded views.

The marqee retainer would be black and the rest of the trim in front would be black too.  It may be the glass retainer that goes in the back.  I did not put one to hold the back of the glass in.  I will have to check it out.  Thanks for the idea.

Looks like the glass retainer from the back of the cab.

You were right.  It is in place now. 

Thanks
