Quoted from CoolCatPinball:I see you have 5 machines listed in your collection. Go ahead and buy the Harbor freight lift asap. You'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner. I had 8 pins before I caved in and bought one. It's invaluable to me now. I promise, you'll be so glad you have it. Until then though, I second what others above have said.
Is it OK to raise the machine using just the bottom of the cabinet or does the Harbor Freight lift have to be positioned in such a way that the cabinet sides are resting on it? I'm imagining a machine with legs on and rolling the HF lift between them from the front. Seems like all the weight would then be just on the cabinet bottom when raising the machine.
