Hello Adam,
I agree entirely. We will have slide rails (probably pine or similar) under the edge of each side that the machine will slide on when dragging it into and out of trailers and utes. Imagine a piece of 2 x 1 inside the egde running the full lenth of the machine. These pieces could be easily replaced should it become damaged without affecting the cabinet artwork.
I could never work out why no other manufacturer doesn't include this as most arcade cabines do???
Thanks for the input.
Cheers

Was speaking to my father tonight and we always talk pinball and the next machine we're cleaning up. My dad's gripe with pinball machines: "You get an old pinball machine and the bottom is all scraped. There's splinters of wood everywhere. Why didn't they put metal/some kind of protection on the base of the cabinet or at least the edges for when machines were being transported?"
I agreed and said that cabinet protectors on the base of the cabinet would be a good idea for operators or home users transporting their machines and sliding them in and out of vehicles. I then said "I'll suggest this to Homepin for his Thunderbirds machine and see what he says!"
Mike, why didn't they put cabinet protectors on the base of machines and is this a viable option/idea for future Homepin machines?
Cheers!
Adam.
