    Quoted from shimoda:

    It still begs the question about lifting the back end up. That is always a pain, especially on some of the games I've moved like Genie.

    When I was 20 years younger I could deadlift the back of a WPC game from the floor all the way up.

    Now that I'm an old man, the best technique I've found is to do it in two stages using a small box. In my case I use a toolbox - you can lift the back onto the toolbox from the hole at the top, then you can get enough leverage to lift it from the bottom the rest of the way.
