    I'm preparing for a move and in the past I have always used a pinball dolly to relocate my games. It works pretty good but it's a bit tough rolling on thick carpet and having to physically lift the dolly (and machine) over thresholds and onto the lift gate of the truck.

    So, one of the movers giving me a bid suggested building a "stretcher" type device using 2x4's and plywood with padding on top. This would slip under the cabinet and make it (in theory) easier for 2 people to carry with a person on each end of the machine grasping the 2x4 "handles" and the game resting on the padded plywood.

    Has anyone seen or used something like this?
