Fireball Classic will not have the back door, jones plugs ... but you don't need to remove the head just fold it.

If you have the keys you will remove the backglass, open the light board and remove the bolts holding the head to the body.

You open the light board by sliding two brackets. If there are loose you may want to tighten or put a screw in the slot to prevent the light board from swining into the back of the backglass during transport. Those backglasses are rare and never have good red color (pink or orange fade is normal).

Careful - with the backbox door swung open and the bolts removed the weight wants to fold on you so hold tight when removing the last bolt (you luck if there is more than one or two of the four most times).

So, pull bolts, secure backglass, fold head and then strap head to body.

Put ass end up on a chair and remove back legs. Drop machine off chair and stand up then remove front legs. Move machine and reverse for setup.

FBC is still a great game. I had mine for many years. Fireball is great and Fireball 2 is has nice drops (nut no disk and should not be called Fireball). Fireball home should never be mentioned.

That is actually faded but not horrible.

Look at the colors on the CRP reproduction of the original FB. The top edge of the flame is a big give away. The reds get orangey and the orange gets pinkish.
