WTB: Atari Cabaret metal bracket

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.video.arcade.collecting (More info?)

I need the black metal bracket that goes on top of most Atari
cabarets. It has 3 screw holes and it curved. This is for a Missile
Command mimi, but I am told any Atari mini would have the same aprt.

Please let me know if you have such a part for sale.

Thanks!

Missile Command, BattleZone and Asteroids Deluxe
(don't know about Asteroids) use a different metal
bar, compared to other Atari cabarets, such as
Dig Dug, Centipede and Tempest.

I had some of the latter made quite some time ago,
but not the prior.

i restore old games, and i would just find a metal bracket from just
about any large upright and measure and cut it to fit. sand the cut
part down and make sure the angle is correct and real snug to cover the
top of the game and front of the glass. as for the original holes in
the bracket from the large upright, fill them in with some metal
glazing putty made by bondo then sand and paint. i get the best results
by using a cheap flat black spray paint. its not an original bracket,
but if you take your time, even a pro could not tell that it is a
repro. best of luck!
