Quoted from UCFKnight71:Thanks! I plan on doing all of that. Would love to hear some starter game suggestions from this community as well.

Don’t ship your first game. Too many risks. Be patient. Buy local or within a half days drive.
Buy anything that works almost 100%. That’s a perfect starter game.
Sure thats a good starter game if it’s fully working and ready to go. Try to get it for as cheap as possible.
Bring a friend and a hand truck.
Bring a 5/8 socket and a 9/16 socket. Bring a drill with a brand new set of bits (for drilling out the lock if needed)
Bring cardboard or pipe insulation to put between the head and the game when the head is folded down.
Bring shrink wrap or a ratchet strap to hold the head to the game for transport.
Take the balls out of the game and anything loose inside the cabinet.
Fold head down and strap to the game.
Take the back legs off first. Put the back end of the game on the ground.
Then lift the game up and put fully on its ass so the coin door points to the sky. Take front legs off.
Hand truck it to the car. Put it in the car coin door first.
Do all that in reverse when you get home.
Quoted from UCFKnight71:Thanks for the detailed response! When I fold the head down, do I have to disconnect anything?
No. Just the bolts that hold the head onto the game.
Quoted from UCFKnight71:Here are the pictures from the listing. Listing says works 100% and includes the manual.

Check the ramps out closely when you get there. Especially at the entrance. It’s always busted. Might help you get it for cheaper.
Quoted from ralphs007:I think the reason there's no lines,is because the modern pins are much more fun!
Debatable. It usually takes time for pinheads to make their way back on the calendar. Some are just as fun, if not more fun than modern pins, especially on replay ability and playing against friends.
Most people at shows are newbies. Flashy lights are light bug lights for newbies.
Quoted from ralphs007:After playing for almost an hour,
Play with friends. For dollars.
