Congrats! I'll need a creature some point in my life.
As for the stairs alone, appliance dolly and hope nothing goes wrong.
Legs - 4 milk crates and some wood. 2 milk crates under front of machine should get it off the ground. 2 in the back will not raise the back...you need a piece or 2 of wood...or whatever to give you some more height. Doing that you have all 4 legs off the ground and can put on/take off legs.
Get some carpet sliders to help you move them around easy by yourself.
if you can afford a nice creature, you can hire some muscle to help. stairs aren't worth tackling alone imo.
everything else can be done solo, no prob.
if you're stubborn, and you must do it by yourself. take off the head and carry it. pull the glass and balls from the cab, and STRAP it to a dolly. it takes time, but just go slow.
I call the local removist and offer a case of beer to do 1 or 2 moves at the end of there day, cheaper than damage to yourself, house or game, good luck.
Well guys got it in the house no prob bymyself the truck bed was level with the porch on the side of the house and got it together bymyself very proud actually this seemed to be the easiest move yet this is pin number 5 in less then a year and will deff be around a lot longer then all the others creature is a fav of mine will post some pics tomorrow !!!!
Congrats sir! Glad the move went ok. I'm actually trading a certain NGG for Creech this weekend. Like the Gofers, but couldn't pass this up. Played a couple amazing CFTBLs in pinball league and have been deliriously trying to get one ever since.
