Picked up a nice IGT Slot last night. The price was too good to pass up. My first slot and I grossly underestimated it's size and weight. The guy on the phone said you can fit it into a car. He should of mentioned what size of car like a gianormous four door 70's Cadilac or something. Definetly not a 2 door Monte Carlo. I had planned on setting it in the front seet like I have done with some larger TV's and such. Lay the seat back and you can get some pretty good room. I was already in the guys neighborhood and to go home to get my truck would of been a good 3 hour round trip so I said lets take this mother apart and piece it into the car. We did just that. The shell did fit in the front seet just barely, the door was in the trunk, the glass in the back, the coin return and hopper were in the trunk. It was in pieces everwhere and the SOB still weighed a cubic assload. This thing must weigh at least 165 lbs. I wish I took some pics. Anyways, in the process I ripped my pants front pockets to shreds on the edge of this thing. Ruined a nice pair of dress slacks. I get it home and I am alone taking it out of the car. Before doing that I decide to eat dinner and get out of the ripped slacks and put on some comfy sweat pants. Afterwards I went back out to unload this monster by myself. I did have gravity on my side so that did help a little. Slid the shell out. I used a dolly to get it over to the little stand it goes on. Then I proceeded to He-Man this thing and hoist it onto the stand by myself. After several grunts I managed to get this think lifted up onto it's stand. In the process I heard a loud tearing sound like velcro being ripped apart. At first I thought it was my back or for sure a hernia but I soon realized my comfy sweats had suffered the same tearing that my slacks did. I still don't know what the hell they got cought on. So after two pairs of pants I'm now the proud owner of my first (and only ever) big ass slot machine.

Cool... thats a nice looking machine.
Don't know what price is a good price for these, but a guy I know has a few for sale here (He's in Oneonta, NY) if anyone is interested.

sorry for the thread hijack... back to admiring supadave1's new score!

cheers

LOL!! Thanks for my first laugh of the day. I'd buy one of these if it popped up cheap and local.
