Fast Forward to yesterday.. This is how you pack a high end restoration.

Rubber foam to protect the headbox from the siderails. Cardboard to protect the new playfield glass. Plastic wrap the entire machine - every centimeter. Use heavy tape to affix a cardbox bade so you can stand the game on it's end. Use heavy duty bubble wrap. Then more plastic wrap and then more tape. Then use an old Stern factory box. Perfect fit ! Use the cardboard leg boxes. Fill with foam and anything else you can find to protect the game..



Last but not least, I strap the cardboard box up and then affix shipment details. The Removalist turns up, and gets the surprise of his life. This is how it should be done !
