I don’t have that much experience hauling around pins, but it seems to me that it would be hard to find a heavier machine and playfield than that of Indiana Jones The Pinball Adventure. This thing is an absolute unit and was a struggle to move. Anything else out there put it to shame?
Quoted from Nokoro:Hercules.
Ive always wondered how much that thing weighs....
Was going to go with Hercules, because that one is ginormous, but this one probably would be the winner of this contest... The Magnificent Marble Machine!
Quoted from Butch2099:I was told from the guys at the JJP Factory that pirates is between 350 and 375 lbs
Hobbit is 350
Quoted from Pinmeister:SafeCracker
About 290
LTG : )
Quoted from pcprogrammer:STTNG for sure.
Have it along with Hobbit and would have to say Hobbit which is crazy. Those 3 sets of drop target mechs and 4 beast mechs weigh a ton put together.
Quoted from jbovenzi:Any Bingo machine. They are like lead...
Yes this. The back boxes alone are insanely heavy.
Hobbit and Woz are good bets, but I swear the heaviest I have moved is Jolly Park.
..... and honorable mentions for all Gottlieb system 3's.
Not the heaviest but honorable mention to Dakar.
Not only is it heavy but the cabinet is so awkward.
Quoted from Grangeomatic:Black Hole.
Period.
Couldn’t agree more with you!!
Black Hole seemed harder and heavier to get in basement then TZ.
I move all of these myself - JJP games are by far the heaviest. WoZ almost fell over, hobbit was actually lighter than I thought. Pirates - heavy!! I think it might be pirates followed by WOZ RR.
Dialed In - heaviest standard I've felt NO question.
Just moved a Banzai Run yesterday and it is pretty heavy, seemed heavier than demo man which is a widebody.
Quoted from jbovenzi:Any Bingo machine. They are like lead...
'73 Bally Hawaii was the heaviest Bally bingo at 443 lbs.
Any EM I've moved have always been a pain, Nip it digs into my fingers. Any JJP machine or pinball 2000 if it still has a CRT screen.
Banzai run definitely feels pretty heavy... it's why I haven't moved it since I got it, that and it's awkward.
Sterns are like feathers compared to those.
Quoted from DennisDodel:'73 Bally Hawaii was the heaviest Bally bingo at 443 lbs.
I want one!
Quoted from delt31:Gryszzz - you're so cool! You tell 'em! And your avatar is so scary too with that skeleton. well done.
For fucks sake just capitalize the W or remove the period.
Quoted from LTG:Lighter than many. Hobbit is way heavier.
LTG : )
I stand corrected, good sir.
