Where can I get one of those nifty pin movers .. you know the ones that have a foot pump and just lift the whole game from underneath?

ones like you're talking about are kinda spendy....like, several bills:

they make rollers you can attach to the legs that are a bit more affordable:

(but yeah....i want a pinball dolly too)
 
You can also use a hydraulic table. I picked on up at Kragen's for $70. Took the handle off and it works good. Just a bit heavy to move around.
 
If you're not in a huge hurry for one, sometimes used ones come up for sale. I got a pretty good deal with the one I picked up, wasn't really looking for it at the time, but glad I grabbed it when I did.

Have patience and one will come :)
 
Not in a big hurry..just looking at getting one if I get deeper into pin collecting.
 
I grabbed the HF lift after seeing another Klov member's post on it, works great (after installing hinges on the handle)! I like how I can roll it up to my tailgate, pump it up, and just slide the pin on, install the legs and I'm good to go. Worked great getting my Frankenstein into place in my low ceiling basement. Jacked it up, took off the rear legs, lowered it, raised the head, jacked it back up and reinstalled the rear legs, Bam.. (I could not raise the head without hitting a joist)..

I too liked the harbor freight lift table. Does the job for me quite nicely. And you can use it for other things besides!

Well if you were in Maryland I could hook you up with one of the old Wico pinball dollies (just like the penguin one on ebay) but with a hydraulic ram and it lifts higher. I have 3 right now. I usually get them for $150.00 to $175.00 but they are heavy so shipping them would cost way to much.
