    Has anyone ever taken apart a newer Stern machine to move it? I need to move a machine down a couple of flights of stairs and probably will have very little help. I think if I take the head off, the playfield out, legs off, then I can move the cabinet alone with a basic dolly. A bit worried about reassembly. A pointer to a video for playfield removal for a Spike system machine would be great!

    Quoted from poppapin:

    What do you mean by very little help? If you have a helper all you need is to remove the legs and fold the head down to move it.

    With the machine at over 250 pounds, my helper won't be much help!

    Quoted from nicoy3k:

    There is a YouTube video on how to install art blades for a Jurassic park stern that shows how to remove the playfield

    Thanks, I'll check it out! cheers.
