The NAVL guys showed up yesterday right on schedule, they had to wheel my 'new' baby down my 400ft driveway on a pallet jack and into my 1st floor gameroom. Tip of the cap to the them, they did a great job, this was my first dealings w/ them and everything went super smooth. The seller went way above and beyond in preping the machine as you can see in the pics below, pics were after all the blankets and wrap were removed. Put the pincab protectors and topper on, moved into final resting place and leveled everything out. I think WH20 is going to like it's new home.

Congrats!
Looks great.
Packing does look thorough, but surprised to see the legs left on. Seems to have worked well for you.

Dig the cardboard wrapping and address labels. I can picture it with a stamp on it and sitting at the mailbox.

Yeah, was certainly nervous to ship w/ legs on but did a bit of research here and it eased my apprehensions a bit.....a bit. I think shipping w/ legs on sort or forces the shipping company to give it its own space, less likely to stack something on top of it. Also it makes it painfully obvious that it's a pinball machine and people would be more inclined to be careful w/ it.....at least this is what i repeatedly told myself the last two weeks.

Shipping with the legs on with NAVL has always yielded me good results.

Congrats on your new pin!

Thanks for the congrats. WH20 was the pin right next to TAF when i was a kid growing up so having them side by side again is very nostalgic. It's been a while since i've seen the original topper in person, man that thing is just cool as hell, the previous owner even made a shim that goes under it so it tilts forward a little bit more. Work can't get over fast enough today...

+1. Kind of like when I had a White Water FEDEXed to me last November... No seriously!

Congrats on getting a great game!

Congrats on the White Water! My only concern with the legs on during shipping if their is only one person they might choose to drag the machine from one end possibly digging into the cab or decals causing damage. Glad to see yours made the journey safely and enjoy it!

Nice grab!
Everytime I see someone get a new WH2O it motivates me to get off my butt and finish putting mine back together. I'm missing playing it

Enjoy!!!

Yeah, those curtains are usually never open, was only open that day so i could see when the NAVL truck pulled up. One of my roommates opened them up last week to 'let in the sunshine'......she was promptly scolded and thoroughly educated so this cardinal sin wouldn't be repeated.

Welcome to the club, I just got mine last week. I have mine in direct sunlight for now. I cover it from topper to legs when I am not playing it. Curtains are not an option.
