Widebody down a spiral staircase ? 

Good on you Shane. My back aches just hearing about it.

Pinball karma coming your way 

[Redback]

Craziest thing I've heard in a while.

Why would someone put their pin up there.

Seeing you wernt hunched over on Sat, looks like you made it though it alright.

Great work,
Red

Thanks for the kind words guys! 

The dude who owned it wasn't the physical type - I had to slide the bloody thing down the stairs on a blanket.

Took the legs off by myself lying under the machine - as he had nothing to rest it on.

Didn't know I could bench press a pinball machine. 

Dickhead here could not get the glass to release for love nor money?! - so the head was still on it as well...

Put a few marks in the guys house - but not the machine... 


Dave - I went round there on the Sunday, with the hangover...
I'm wondering how Jasen pulled up actually!

[Boots]

Geez, spiral stairs with the headbox on, you weren't standing on one leg too were you?

Good effort Shane,  Well Done

[ajlaird]

Sounds like a legendary tale in the making! Kudos, Shane.

[shansta]

Don't want to carry on and make Damien feel bad. 

I had sweat pouring off me - the guy would have thrown the thing down the stairs if I had let him.
 
If I had a video of it - you would be in tears!

I don't care - I just didn't want to damage the bloody machine!
