Since its only 30', I would drape it in a large drop plastic drop cloth, wrap well, and go when the rain lets up. The rain has been spotty heavy over here, and I suspect it will be the same where you're at.
I assume your able to get it into the van quickly, and have the luxury of waiting out the rain before removing it from the van.
Personally, I like pool noodles cut in half for all edges, and the idea of shrink wrapping, but sometimes shrink wrapping is a real pain.
I did have some experience with rain - I sold a Firepower to someone in Elgin, and was taking it up there in the bed of a truck. I had it wrapped in a plastic drop cloth, held in place with duct tape and bungee cords, and sitting on 2 X 4s. The same storm that partially flattened East Peoria struck while I was on the interstate near Bloomington. I pulled of the interstate, waited it out, and continued. When I got there, I was expecting a disaster, but instead, there was barely any water on it, and I was able to remove all evidence of water using a washcloth - it was damp, but not dripping wet. So, a well wrapped machine will be just fine.

Perfect - really appreciate the advice!
Quoted from tbaum:Should I bring one of those plastic covers for mattresses or anything to cover the machine? Any other suggestions?
You are going the right direction. Get a roll of sheet plastic at the big box store. Any sheet plastic ( like mattress plastic) that is big enough to completely cover the pin to keep it dry. Get some of the cheap duct tape. Pull the plastic tight and lock it in place with the duct tape.

NAVL doesn't offer service in Alaska. The seller said that ten locals were interested. Maybe I should have asked Sarah Palin to pick it up for me.

That sounds correct.

Glad you picked it up...I hope to see the "running smoothly video" soon!
Quoted from cottonm4:You made a great buy.
Thanks! I wasn't trying to take advantage of someone. I offered 800. BG is flaking and coin mechs and the hardware that holds them is missing so I will put a good bit of work into this one.

But on a positive note, that playfield looks to be in great shape. Nice pick up!
Quoted from ss-pinball:Glad you picked it up...I hope to see the "running smoothly video" soon!
I will do that! I think I will play it some, but then do a full resto on this one!

At $800.00, you still made a great buy. Bask in the glory.
When you are done you will probably be all complete for less than $1500.00, unless Alaska shipping sticks it to you.
Quoted from Murphdom:This is close to me. If someone needs me to grab it for them let me know
