I just picked up a really nice Revolution X which has been a grail of mine before I started collecting. I got this game from member mikeatunion, I traded my vs nintendo mame machine for it and I couldnt be happier with the trade. I do not plan getting rid of this. This fucker was heavy, we had to remove the monitor and control panel to drag it out of mike's basement and up a hill and on top of that the damn marquee is to tall to flip up in my basement unless I take it off then slide it on. Warning to anyone this game is a pain in the ass to move!!! I might be getting a terminator judgement day next week and its going to look nice beside this game

That game is a blast! T2 will look perfect with it.
Like you said, take off the marquee and slide it on.
Crank up the volume!!!!
 
Does anyone know the official weight of that machine? I don't know what sort of grade my home was built on, but there certainly must be a better way.
 
I think the 33 inch model also has 3 guns on it.

This is correct.

Those things weighed a ton between the monitor, guns, mirror and the wood alone also was heavy. When I sold mine years ago, the dudes who bought it had a hell of a time getting it out of my basement and it was only the smaller version!

"Don't give up!"
 
I remember dumping a ton of quarters in that game when it came out. I think I also had the more disappointing PS1 version at one point. The bowling alley I worked at about 4 years ago had a Rev X. It made around $10 to $20 a week in a place where the good earning games did $100 to $250 a week. I played it a few times and couldn't really remember why I was into so much back in the day. And yes, it is extremely heavy. Though, its nothing compared to the deluxe projection screen version of 18 Wheeler. They stripped and waxed the floors one night and I moved all the games out of the arcade. 18 Wheeler was the worst. Made moving Rev X seem easy, though for the Rev X I had a U-Haul cart with the extra set of wheels that come down at an angle. Sure made it much easier to move the uprights around.
 
That game is a Tank! I have one in my garage and thats where it will stay. No way in hell I can get it up the steps into the game room!
