Transporting a Pin in your Car - Dimension Guide
« on: May 26, 2013, 05:29:24 PM »
I have seen a few threads on moving pins in your car and people wanting to know dimensions.

Since I am drawing the 90's Bally / WMS Cabinet I have simulated a backbox fold down for people to keep as a guide

It's in millimetres so for imperial  dimensions divide by 25.4 for inches, but roughly 29 1/4 inches high and 51 1/2 inches long.

Hope it helps

I drive a BA falcon wagon because pins don't fit in a commodore wagon.    So far I've squeezed in wpc data east and sterns but gottlieb system 3 don't fit.  I can detach the head box slide it down the Playfield glass and squeeze it in.

My 2010 Santa Fe can not fit boxed Sterns because there is a overhead DVD player for the kids. If the player was not there the boxes can squeeze in. Any unboxed machines can squeeze in with room to spare.

VE Station wagon no good for DMD games.

Not sure on measurements on VF, but I'd imagine it would be similar.

Put quite a few different machines in to a Territory wagon, they fit well.

The old shaped Commodore wagon e.g. VY will fit anything in there.  Gtb Sys 3 machines are a bit tight but will go in as does a Capcom machine.  I know Peter/Gorgar has put a few NIB machines, still in their box, in the back of his Commodore wagon.  The Commodore Sportswagons are no good. 

My VY Wagon is showing signs of it's age but I will hold onto it purely as a machine mover unless I get something like a Territory.

Pajeros are a bit of a PITA as the back seats don't fold down perfectly flat so you need to pack up the back end a bit.

With Ford packing up manufacturing in Australia, you should hang on to it, it may become a collectors piece %.%

A BA Falcon shits over a VY/VZ commodore. Better build quality, more power and overall more refined.

I've had both and worked for both companies. Holden vs Ford mentality is simply how people are socialised. Nothing wrong with the Ford I can assure you!

Thanks for the dimension guide.
