Do you ever go to move an arcade and as you lower the dolly the weight gets ahead of you and all of a sudden it's crash and a new round of troubleshooting begins? Man I hate that. That is all.

Happens all the time. Worst case so far was with a Joust. We were loading up a truck to take games to the Houston Arcade show. The lift on the truck was tipped forward like it had tried to pick up a loading dock at some point. so I was below trying to brace the Joust and another game. When the lift stopped, it jiggled and both games started to topple off. I grabbed the one and watched in horror as the Joust faceplants from 4 feet up. We got the other game into the truck and wrangled the Joust back upright (it was face down on the ground and bottom up, still on the lift). I was sure it was toast, but I didn't have time to grab a different one, so off to the show it went.
The tube never looked better. The crash must have knocked all the crap out of the guns like a rejuve. The only damage was some road rash on the t-molding.

BTW, I recommend a rejuvenator to clean up CRTs not dropping them 4 feet onto their faces.
You could use one of these. They are expensive but it won't fall back on you. We put equipment at least 3 or 4 times the weight of an arcade cabinet on one of these in the Switching facility I work in. They ain't cheap.
