So - I started moving my pins into my new basement arcade and had a serious moment with my escalera trying to move a sys 3 Gottlieb. After some digging, I found that part of it was likely because the body is a few inches thicker, and thus the load was even further off the handtruck and heavier than other cabs of the era. That caused the center of gravity shift to be more dramatic and almost ended real poorly...

That got me thinking - is there a list of Pins and their weights? Ideally we could include individual titles or quirks (ie - Gottlieb sys 3 is a few inches wider, or Twilight Zone is extra weight due to the amount of stuff, model is designed/easily disconnected to two pieces, etc etc). This kind of information in one place could really help in determining if you should call a buddy to help, handle it yourself, what type of transportation to take to a pick up, etc etc etc.

Thanks in advance to anyone able to willing to contribute!

That's a great point! I've always heard the Sys 3s were tanks (and in fairness, when I was moving out in January, this took a bit of a dive getting loaded onto a truck that was parked on snow and ice... the paint wasn't even scuffed and everything worked 100%. It truly is a tank). That's good to know about them for sure though. Any idea how far back the Gottliebs were so much heavier/stronger? (just Sys3, or into 80a/b? I know sys 1 and regular 80 aren't much different). I completely forgot about "this machine is a tank" until the 3rd step down. (ironically, the six steps outside my buddy's place were zero issue. probably cause it was wider and I had a buddy beside me to help navigate)

Yeah I've seen the vehicle list. Actually part of the reason I upgraded from my Honda Fit to a minivan is to reliably carry a 2nd (or 3rd if I get real aggressive and remove heads) pin and hang the escalera off the back on a hitch.
