Title: Sega Model 3 monitor reassembly - Solo help needed!
Post by: fablog on May 12, 2026, 07:40:09 pm
Hi everyone,

​I'm currently restoring a Sega Model 3 sit-down cabinet and I need to redo the monitor assembly. I think I messed up the order of the parts because I can't get the front plastic bezel to fit at the end of the process.

​I need to tilt the monitor back to start over, but I'm doing this completely solo and the weight of the 29" CRT makes me nervous.

​Could anyone share the exact steps or tips for the following when working alone?

​Tilting the monitor back: How do I safely detach the top and let the monitor tilt/rest back on its bottom pivot points without dropping it?

​Reassembly procedure: What is the exact step-by-step sequence to put the structure back together safely? I need to know the proper order to handle the monitor, the top metal crossbar, and the side panels when doing this by myself. (Note: The monitor's top metal ears mount to the front of the top crossbar).

​Thanks,

Fabien
