That is got to be the heaviest cab around. I have no idea how they got it up there. My entire body aches. Craigslist find, really nice shape. Not sure I would do that again for a free spy hunter though.
 
You guys that choose to haul games up/down stairs, into basements, using homemade pulley system, etc. are insane.

I didn't choose to, it was already up there. It was local and a good deal, never thought it would be that heavy. At the bottom of the first flight we couldn't turn the corner and I ended up trapped between it and the stairs. All part of the hobby I guess...
 
Golden Tee (white cab) are another heavy ass cab to take down a flight of stairs and here i was thinking about picking up a Spy Hunter cockpit can't wait to see what that's gonna be like when that day comes.

Hahaha....My wife and I moved ours across the kitchen yesterday and we said the same thing! The Spy Hunter is one heavy MOFO!
 
Yeah it's heavy. I've got casters on all of my cabs and that one requires six of them instead of four. The centers wallow out or break with one on each corner.

A Virtua Fighter cab is not a fun thing either when it comes to stairs. I had one get away from me going down a flight of stairs from a second story apartment one time and ended up riding it down to the bottom.

Yes I agree.. I have gone to look at games before, and the seller never mentioned they were in a basement.. Most of the time I walk away...
 
A couple of weeks ago via a Craiglist deal, I moved one out of a basement in a snowstorm.

Well worth the price, but it was unexpectedly heavy. It still wasn't as bad as the Atari Blasteroids that actively tried to kill both me and the person helping me move it, however. The base of that thing is just stupid.
