Quoted from reynolds531:And here I thought that I was the only fool to unbox a pinball machine on my own. I am in my late sixties and as recently as last year I hoisted a NIB AFM onto a dolly, took it up a small flight of stairs into my home and proceeded to set it up. I can't say that I will ever do this again.
I think it is more common than you think....I've always unboxed and installed my NiB on my own. Not easy..but doable. Granted, I will say the older you get the harder it is.
