For years I wanted a Super Sprint, but had been worried about its size and whether I would be able to get it into my basement. A couple of years ago I got one in trade that ended up needing repairs and it took until this spring to get it back up and running … in the garage. Finally this week I decided enough was enough and set about getting it inside. It's been a great summer of collecting and moving games into the basement — having an 18-year-old son home from college who's been slinging tires as a summer job definitely helps.
Still I had nightmares about getting this guy inside. Sure, we had moved a Gauntlet II into the basement and even a Smash TV without incident, but I was nervous.
Know what? Second easiest game I've ever moved into my basement (No. 1 is my Bagman cocktail).
Once the monitor and CP are off it weighs next to nothing. Granted it's odd shaped, but we got it strapped on the dolly and it was gravy going down the stairs!
Last night me, the wife and our two boys took turns playing it for a few hours!
So if you want a Super Sprint, but are worried that's it's too big, it isn't!
 
For me it was Sav's DK cabaret... I was tossing it about like one of phet's anorexic houseboys. And I'm not a big fellow, by any stretch...
 
I bought a Klax machine in a conversion cabinet (Wizard of Wor cab, I think), and the thing was almost light enough for me to move it into the basement myself. That includes cab, monitor, boards, PS... the full 9 yards.. Unreal.
 
My Galaxian CT was easy as pie to move. It fit right in the back of our SUV and only takes 2 people to hold each end.

lol what? You needed 2 people on each end to carry a Galaxian?

You should be able to move them all day with 1 on each side lol.

You crack me up!

I am pretty sure I could load a Galaxian cocktail into and out of an suv without any help at all.
 
I've got to move three cabs downstairs tomorrow, I hope I have the same feeling afterward (spoiler: I won't, one is an Outrun!).
 
My Wizard of Wor is pretty easy to move, Pole Position not so much....
