Quoted from inhomearcades:The way I put legs on games is as follows:
Game is on its back, I put the front two legs on the game and lower them to the ground. I then pick up the back of the game and rest it on my hip and put the back two legs with the game being tilted on the front two legs. I have done this on every single game ever made, this is the first time that I have ever seen damage occur from doing this.
Can't do much more than replicate as per Stern's instructional video from 2014 (from the 2 min mark).
Looks like they need to add a disclaimer or an updated instructional as it seems any front end stress during setup from tilting the weight of the machine on two legs is going to have an affect (either noticeable immediately or developing after a prolonged period) on the new and improved cabinets coming off the line.
2014 now seems like such a long time ago for Stern pinball.......but I digress.
