Very nice setup Rob! I have all three of my cabs in a third floor apartment so I totally understand how shitty it is hauling them up and down plenty of stairs. Not to mention my Q25 has a rotation mech which tacks on at least another 60 pounds to the cab. I can't bitch though, it's worth the tradeoff.
Awesome stuff man.
Well I changed apartments to get away from that special roommate. I rented a 2 bedroom just to have a gameroom heh. My original and new apt are both on the second floor, so moving them was a BITCH. The Aero is solid steel so it was much heavier than the Astro. The Astro has an oddly-shaped back that doesn't work well with a hand truck, so I removed the monitor and carried the shell and the monitor seperately.
this is the perfect pinball table for an apartment, although obviously not in the same league as a full blown one. http://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?gid=3427
I bid on one at the last auction I was at, went a little too high for what I was willing to spend on it.
Friends help you move.

I would buy that thing in a heartbeat! I love NES stuff, and it would look awesome in a game room. Where did you find the one near you?There is one for sale about an hour from here for $300.

Also: Sweet set-up. When get my new cab (which I should hear back about by this week), my gameroom should look a lot like yours.
complaining about the weight of candies? shit, I've got a 6 slot big red and a dedicated Outrun upright lugged up 3 stories.
I don't want to get ahead of myself, but if all goes to plan I'll be picking up a Neo U4. I'd rather not jinx it, so I don't want to say anymore than that at the moment. I always worry that something will get in the way of such a good thing.Which kind is the new one incoming, Beagle?
I hope some people hear this! I cannot count how many times I moved/picked up cabs for friends. I'm so used to it than moving cabs doesn't face me anymore, it's all like second nature by now, plus I have a few myself, I guess I should be taking pics, but I'm not gonna until all my cabs are up to par.Friends help you move.

The Q25 is not your normal candie, this particular cab weights just as much as a 4 slot, trust me, if someone here would know that would be me. ON another note the 6 slot is a cab I allways wanted to own, but not until I live in a house with a doble door, until then I'll just focuse on completing the 4 slot US revisions.complaining about the weight of candies? shit, I've got a 6 slot big red and a dedicated Outrun upright lugged up 3 stories.
