Dialed In
Jersey Jack, 2017
White Water
Williams, 1993When putting my new machine upstairs, I had assumed that Dialed In was going to weigh similar to any other Williams machine that I've owned and moved around, but holy crap, that was a beast to get up 13 steps. I later looked it up and I saw a weight listing of 370# for Dialed in, compared to 250# for White Water. What in there is weighing an extra 120#?
I don't think my neighbor is going to want to help me anymore. At least I give him free beer all the time.
There’s more in them including thicker / higher quality parts. Items such as the LCD monitor, PC, and shaker motor also add to the games weight.

Feel lucky it wasn’t a WOZ, my relatives still hate me !
I noticed cgc game heavier than stern too. But I dont see any probs with the sterns we have so not too worried
The cabinet is also a higher density particle board with a plastic coating that weighs way, way more than regular plywood.
Quoted from Rarehero:27 inch monitor, for starters.
27" LCD doesn't weigh any more than the light panel it replaced from WPC games. Now, if it was a CRT... 
Extra weight likely from better/thicker cab materials, few more assemblies on the playfield and a bit more power-related hardware. I think 375 is an exaggeration for DI as well, probably more like 325.
Quoted from Dayhuff:What are stairs?
I bought a house with a walk out basement just for this reason and never regretted it, trust me!!
