Quoted from littlecammi:As recently as 2014 I unboxed Stern Mustang by myself, putting on the front legs then lifting the heavy back end while using one foot to slide a barstool under it. Turning 70 in 2019 I realized I was no longer up to doing that. So Elvira's House of Horrors sat NIB in my game room for months until a friend came over to help me. (At least that gave the clear coat more time to cure.)
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.
