More stuff from Marco Specialties:
Since I don’t have enough room at my house for all my machines I decided to set some up a my siblings’ houses. My sister is getting Star Wars and Cirqus Voltaire and my brother is getting Twilight Zone.
Rented a small truck from Budget with a lift-gate. One of those little Isuzu jobbers:
The lift-gate is absolutely key. Once the machines are folded up and vertical you can just roll them on and off the truck (via the lift-gate) with a dolly, and strap them to the rails inside the truck.
The hardest part was getting Twilight Zone into my brother’s basement via the bulkhead stairs. We finally ended up laying it down while still in the dolly, tying a rope around it and belaying it down off a tree. Then we had to take the door at the bottom of the stairs off its hinge to get the machine through. Goddamn wide-body machines.
Moving pinball machines sucks.
Sadly, all of my machines had to be put into storage in my basement. My company moved offices and there was no room for them at the new one (and no room in my house!).
Replaced burnt out lamps: re-launch and top-right pop-bumper
My first machines have arrived. Woo-hoo! I purchased them on ebay from pinballsales.com.
