Quoted from dmarston:

"Granted, it's not likely EMs were delivered still boxed up to distributors' customers like they are today..."
I bought NIB games as an operator in the early 1970s. The distribs offered three options: (1) pick it up fully boxed, (2) they would unbox it there and load the components into your smaller vehicle, or (3) they would unbox it and assemble it and load it ready-to-go onto your truck. I think option (3) was used by operators who were going straight from the distrib to the location where the game would be operated, and the operator was responsible for providing adequate tie-downs. We used option (2) when picking up a game in a station wagon or U-Haul closed-box trailer, where the lightbox was way forward, legs along the side. We used option (1) when picking up a game in a full-size van, U-Haul box truck, or open trailer.
