Title: Galaxian (or Pac Man): How is the lower bezel mounted ?
Post by: Level42 on May 28, 2007, 06:14:13 pm

I am curious about how exactly the lower bezel (the really dark plexi, with the CRT shaped plastic under it) is mounted. It was with my Galaxian when I got it, but I never figured how it was positioned.

The CRT shaped plastic simply seems to small to fit over the 19" tube.... ?

Any pictures would be awesome....thanks !

There are two long brackets that attach to the monitor tube bolts on each side horizontally, that stick up alongside the tube.  These brackets have holes that the black monitor bezel screws into.  There are 4 plastic "clamps" that the screws pass though that hold the tinted plexi in place.

This is used on many 80's games, not just the Pacs and Galaxians/Galagas.   I know Spy Hunter used it as well....

As for pics.... I don't have any at the moment, but have some of these brackets at work and can get a pic of them if no one else has any....
