    Quoted from EJS:

    I've never understood the appeal of Escalara. They're oversized and heavy. You couldn't pay me enough to use one, I've seen them before in person many times. I've probably moved over 1,000 (probably more to be honest) pinball machines and used to almost on a daily basis.
    Demo Man, take a little more time and pull your populated playfield out. Take the Xformer out, take the head off. Now you have something smaller and manageable.

    Huh? Have you ever used one? You can walk a shit ton of weight up and down steps by yourself...and you don't see the appeal? I've been able to pick up tons of games myself from basements and have a 1960s split level with 3 sets of steps (and a front stoop) between my car and my basement...and I've moved every game I've got since I had my escalara in or out, including a JD, by myself and without fuckjng up my back. You really don't understand the appeal of that? You couldn't pay me to move a game without one again.
