    I recently went over to an estate sale and picked up an EM pin. The problem I had was my wife had a sore back and couldn't really lift very well and we couldn't find anyone to help get it out to the truck ("not worth the liability" was the repeated refrain)

    Now its sitting in the garage waiting for my bodybuilding son to come over and move it to the work room. It got me thinking about doing it myself, I am thinking of some kind of scissor-lift dolly kind of thing, like https://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200651883_200651883 that will fold down for easy transport but lift a pin up off the ground and roll around on big tires.

    I know people have created their own rotisseries, I was wondering if someone had plans for a lift, otherwise I will have to make it myself.

    thanks guys, I think I am going to try and make something out of a sheet of plywood, like what SkyPilot did with the rotisserie ( https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/sky-pilots-rotisserie-plans )

    if I can come up with something I will post it.

    pretty sweet!

    I wonder if it would be possible to do something that can help with lifting them up stairs. Something like one of these: https://www.digitalbuyer.com/wesco-universal-liftkar-hd-straight-frame-725-lb-load-stairclimbing-hand-truck.html

    but not with the pricetag!
