moving pinball or arcade machines
« on: September 01, 2013, 09:47:47 PM »
Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone has some diagrams and measurements for a trolley to move my machines around in the games room as the tractor
is fine from the shed to games room. But its useless from there on unless i build a bigger games room.

There were some trolley suggestions in this earler thread http://aussiepinball.com/index.php?topic=10163.0
There is a good choice and price range to choose from.
If you don't remember the 70s then you were on drugs.
If you remember playing pinball in the 70s you were having a good time.
If you don't remember anything,  then read about it here,

No guys im not taking the piss lol thats how i move things here. I cant keep em in the shed  l dont want to wreck them with grinding dust and over spray, even though id love to leave them there as ive spent hours playing pinball after welding up jobs (the best way to unwind). I actually saw one just like that today at a quarry workshop Matt (but they wouldnt part with it) Im also actually wanting to make it myself but Ill have to do some more head scratching about the hydraulic setup. The backhoe makes light work of lifting a sega rally on and off the ute too dont worry. you guys just gave me an idea about the rotisserie though, Ill just have to mod the cement mixer  $#$

well ive been looking at different trolleys and come to the conclusion that for around $200 new its not worth making one. Ive got too many other things on the project list that will actually save money by making in house.
