    Theyre designed to be as large as possible but still able to fit through standard doors!

    Yeah i think we agree on your first post, or at least i do!
    Im surprised though thst they have designed some skinny models. Or maybe one that is an upsidedown U and have dual flippers on both end of the U? Ok gettin OT...

    Quoted from Baiter:

    The limiting factor is the backbox, not the cabinet. A standard door width is 32", the backbox is 29" which is the same width for standard or widebody games. A standard cabinet width is 22", and widebody is only a few inches wider 25", but still 4 inches short of the backbox.

    Youre right, i was actually double thinking myself as I remember moving a pin into my old house sideways to get past the screen door. I figure if in a bind with a widebody you may be able to do the same thing.
