Ocassionally, in this pinball hobby, we have to be a "billy no mates" and move things around by ourselves. There are a few tricks I've learned over the years, such as:
Moving a pin: - buy a good trolly. Buy pin skates. Buy furniture dolly's. Buy a hydraulic lifting table. Ok sorted!
Setting up/Dismantling: - everybody knows this one. Strap the head down on the cab. Tip the cab on it's **** end. Assemble the front legs. Prop up the back end, and assemble the rear legs. Ok sorted!
Loading/unloading a van: - errrrrrrrmmmmmmm????
So, how do you load a pin on and off a van by yourself?
I did manage to bung a Rollergames into a Toyota Celica once. I removed the legs. I removed the head. The playfield glass. The playfield. Ok so pretty much everything. Then I used 2 planks of wood propped against the boot, I slid the cab on to them then lifted and slid the cabinet in to the boot, but that's pretty much all I can remember as I hit my head so many times I think I got a concussion.
I guess this is the "share your tips for the enthusiastic Do-It-byYourselfer" thread. Ok fellas, GO!
