    Looking at picking up a road show, just learned it's a wide body.

    looking around online, it looks like the folded dimensions for a wide body are the same as a standard, other than length, which is actually shorter.

    is that true, is a wide body backbox the same as standard?

    AND MORE IMPORTANTLY:
    is the folded height any different?

    Quoted from Collin:

    In all seriousness, it's the same dimensions except for lower cabinet width as any normal WPC game. Exact same backbox. Same cab height, length, etc.

    Thank you, it should fit then. A standard pin just barely fits height-wise so I was hoping this wouldn't be any different

    Quoted from Collin:

    You'd probably have a problem with a Gottlieb or later Sega DMD with the rounded backbox. But yeah, should be fine.

    I have fit a 1996 Sega ID4 before, so I should be good?

    Quoted from Collin:

    What about another Bally/Williams DMD?
    I don't know the specifics of the earlier Sega cabs (with the non-rounded heads)
    I was assuming we were comparing like to like - one Bally Williams DMD to another.

    The only other pin I have put in my car besides an ID4 was a comet, with tons of wiggle room. The ID4 was very snug
