    I imagine this could also be made with PVC, the sturdy stuff, perhaps 1.5 or 2" would be cheap and plenty sturdy. Think I'll actually make one and see how it does.

    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.

    I've done this as well, several times, it is that last several inches that still sucks almost as bad as the first few.

    Or you could make one from a lumber holder for less, just replace the wheel with a strip of metal. I still think there could be something even better, some nifty design to make lifting the game easier. When I get spare time I'll look into doodling up some real ideas, so look for it sometime around 2017.
