Probably should've waited on my first pin until I bought the house. I was so determined to buy a pinball machine that I never considered the logistics of space in my old apartment. I found an operator selling a Sega Twister for a decent price and made headway into clearing up the spare room to fit the machine. I figured the height and if it would fit through the door.
Never considered either stairway going up to the 2nd floor though. I bought the machine and had help trying to bring it upstairs to the 2nd floor (of the 2 family residence). Tried both stairways leading up to the apartment before realizing there was no way I was able to bring the machine up either way. I was crushed. I had to store the pin in my parents basement a town over where it sat for 2 years until I purchased my current home.
