That Zizzle POTC is a tad bit heavy.......

Just moved a DM into the basement tonight. My opinion for top 3 heaviest I've dealt with:
1.DM
2.DM
3.Tie between DM and DM

Big Guns was the latest I moved and the huge back box was not fun.

Didn't read the Thread , but RFM is the Awkwardest and Semeed to be the Heaviest Pin that i'vbe Mooved .. Yea I'm Tore upo ....

And where's my 5th i was promisedddddddddddd Jdubbbbbbb

The CRT weighs a lot, but so does all that extra wood in the upper cabinet.

Anyone know where Banzai Run "weighs" in on this?

I am not sure on actual weight, but I know my Defender is a BEAST!!! it has like 37 coils on the PF...and it is the only game that has pulled off of my rotisserie and fallen from the weight of the PF. I had it on the rotisserie flipped over, and was soldering something or rebuilding flippers...and all of a sudden...crash, the PF landed on the base of the table...luckily I had everything off the top getting ready to touch it up (read as repaint) so no harm done, but I did have to figure out a new way to attach it to the rotisserie for the remainder of the rebuild. And that was just the PF...put it in the game, and it is one heavy pin!!!

Stargate has to be one of heaviest standard type games out there. P2K is designed to be separated and moved as two separate pieces.

The problem with Haunted House is all the weight is in the cab. The head weighs nothing by comparison so moving it with the head off doesn't buy you much. It was the only game I needed three people to get in my basement with the head off.

And earlier Williams games with the transformer in the head makes moving them difficult either with head strapped on or not.

Regardless, the games are not getting lighter and we're not getting younger - it's a battle we're destined to lose.

I'll let people look up their own machines now.

Hell let's face it, they're all heavy...

I agree with Demo Man; moving that into my basement was an adventure. A close second would be Judge Dredd in my opinion. Another widebody with a ton of wireforms.

When it comes to overall weight, I don't think a bunch of wire forms really contribute to the over all
weight of a machine that much considering they really don't weigh very much compared to the other components of a game.

+1 on DM. I always thought TZ was as heavy as it could get, but DM feels like someone stuffed the cab full of dumbbells. BH was heavy, but not quite in the same league, imho.

Pinball Circus for sure. It might be stretching it but the Flintstones pinball made by ICE is heavy.

Any idea on the actual weight? I was just about to come ask what the weight on this one is...

I lost a friend and a nut on Stargate!

CV is 300 pounds, heaviest game I have ever moved up stairs.

I don't know how Hercules could not be the heaviest by a long shot. Has anyone actually moved one? I know either HEP or Honda had one in their game room.

OK - three different flyers for CV have its weight being three different values - 300 lbs, 355 lbs and 113kg (249 lbs) - what the hell is that about?

BTW I don't know the official weight for HH but all indirect quotes I've seen has its weight at least 300 lbs.

Well the flyer for Hercules lists its weight at ONLY 275 lbs! Which means it is far from being the heaviest.

But its sheer size makes it hard to move!

I don't know but I have moved a few games up the same stairs and this thing was a total pig.
It is more than 249 but didn't feel like 355.

I moved a CV up the stairs a few weeks ago. Nowhere near as heavy as STTNG was.

Read up.

black hole ,is the worst!!!!!!!!!

I bench press JD pins while eating a sandwich.

Out of the games in my basement... I think Black Hole takes the cake....

I wanna say Paragon, cause it's a wide-body, but there is really nothing in the body haha.

That amazes me... Given the bouncing around of other games with regards to known weight and flyer weight, cananyone confirm this of Hercules? I would think the glass alone on this thing would be around 50 lbs alone. Given HH and BH weights as larger WB's, and that Herc is about twice the size, I simply can't imagine it weighs only 275...

RFM is a heavy beast but it's also designed to be moved with the head off.. I'm just sayin'

Heaviest game I've moved is Strange Science. I'd swear they used concrete for wood in that game (it's MDF), and there are two transformers in it (one for the neon)

Hercules, really ? I've played the thing before and it's such a simplistic game that it's hard to imagine there's much inside. A big-ass cabinet and playfield really. I lifted a HH once (not by myself) and the thing was easily 400 lbs. I seem to recall a painful ordeal lifting it up some stairs with lots of swearing involved...

Hercules was easier to move and set up then many newer pins. Of course I did have someone helping me but thats only because its just so awkward and big, but it still not that heavy. The playfield glass is plexiglass thats 1/4" thick. I thought the game would weigh about 1000 lbs but its defiantly more like the 275 that the flyer says. Moved mine into the basement last December and it will never leave unless I find the Bigfoot.

Okidokie. I couldn't have imagined this before, but guess it must be so. I was unaware that the PF glass was plexi, I guess given the size that makes more sense. What a strange idea that game was.

Hercules, PB 2K, Safecracker, TZ

TZ, JD, DM, STTNG, and Haunted House...all beat my brains in, and broke my back, and my freinds back...

The surprising one for me was my Capcom Airborne..for a standard sized pin, it was brutal..felt easily as heavy if not heavier, than the above...

But Capcoms are built like tanks...overbuilt if anything...One of the things i love about them..
