I assume that the seller won’t have the tools i’ll need (which as i buy from mostly other pinheads they always do lol). So that includes:
- sockets to remove leg bolts (5/8) and head bolts (9/16). Sometimes you find those smaller leg bolts that use 9/16” as well.
- stretch wrap (or a ratchet strap) for securing the head to the cab once lowered
- 1/4” nut driver in case i need to remove the backbox latch at the rear of the machine. This prevents potential damage to flooring if you need to slide it after the game is up on its ass end.
- 1/4” hex screw. I use this to secure the latch that opens the light board door in the head. If you throw a screw in the latch to prevent it from lifting, it will ensure the lightboard doesn’t swing open and scratch the backglass/translite in transit.
- something to go between the head and the side rails. Some cardboard will do. Just don’t tighten the head to the cab without something in between. You are just doing this to protect the side rails from being dented.
- fridge cart or hand truck. Whatever you will use to move the game out to yr vehicle. The hydraulic lift table isn’t something i would bring, you can remove the legs without.
- make sure you know if there are keys for the coindoor and backbox, or at least know if they are unlocked. Otherwise you are drilling the locks out.
Don’t assume the seller can help you move the game. Ask if they can help or if you need to bring some muscle.
Also don’t forget to take all the balls out before you fold up the game. Don’t need those things falling around and breaking plastics.
