    I bought a M60 from Mike about a year ago. I pulled 40ish arcade games out of my basement by myself including a full size skee ball machine... with a blown out left knee.

    It handled a pair of Daytona Twins with no problem. We did have a problem getting them out but it was because of a steel beam.. and not the dolly. Dropping them in the new basement was real easy.

    On the actual moving day my buddy pulled all 16 pins out of the basement by himself with the Escalera...and a few days later put them in the new house for me (stupid knee).

    I actually configured the basement to put in a small elevator in the future. But with the dolly I probably won't do that. The elevator certainly won't help me removing a pin somewhere else

    The Escalera was a life saver for me during my recent move. There's no way I could have made the move it without it

    I will say that vids are actually easier to move than pins with the Escalera. Pins require just a little bit of muscle to lean back once the climbing feet hit the stairs...due to a lower center of gravity. It's not much...but if you had to moved 25 pins...you'd probably feel it by the end of the day. With the vids it required virtually no effort to move them. My M-60 (bought from Larry) moved 3 Punchout cabs (dual upper monitors) like butter up my basement stairs..by myself..on one leg

    The m-60 is already taller than any dolly I own including my appliance dolly.

    Just a warning though..you'll get super lazy (some could say smarter though) with the Escalera around...damn near everything comes out of the basement with it now.

    Quoted from flipnout1:

    The MS-60 is the same price as a MS-66 or a MS-72. I would suggest a taller one for vids but you know what will work for you. Let me know if I can help.
