Been collecting for 6 years and I just made one last weekend. I am still wondering what others do if you are alone to set one up?
For instance, if the machine is vertical (folded up) I can easily add the front legs, then tilt machine forward ... but how do you all add the brace under rear when you are alone?
Anyway, the brace works fantastic once you get the machine lifted.

Note the extra 7" 2×4s alongside the 4x4 ... I added these to give another place to add 2 more screw's on each side so that base 2x4 can withstand more torque. I used it first on WOZ and it worked brilliantly and very stable.

One benefit of this design is there are no screw heads that can contact the floor (or the game bottom if you care)

4x4 and 2x4 construction, screw's are exterior torx head 3"
