    The observant among you might note the cardboard on the right side not clearing the door jamb...

    ...however I am pleased to report that no Doctors, Tardii, or WMS/BLY facsimiles were harmed or scratched during this episode. I, however, did suffer a mild pulmonary aneurysm. Still, let's hear it for "standards", "tolerances", and "(barely) getting away with it"!

    I have removed door trim in my house to get certain pins into the gameroom. Glad it fits.

    Now the question is, are you going to sell the pin with the house, or haul it back out?

    I used to have to remove the heads off any game I bought, stick the body through the basement window and then reassemble everything where it would go. Roadshow was a particularly fun one.

    My brother has exposed screws for easy removal of his basement door jambs for just such occasions.....

    Actually that IS the haul-out photo! Getting it down originally was just as much "fun" but I had gravitational assist that time. This time... ugh...

    ...I again considered removing the head, but one remind-ative look at the rat's nest of connectors (mostly unlabeled) had me reaffirming the "eff that" decision I made the first time.
