Wizard of Oz
Jersey Jack, 2013How does the weight of The Wizard of Oz compare to other wide-bodies of similar size TZ, Star Trek etc.
Does anyone know the weights of these, maybe you can list the top 3 or 4 heaviest. It may also be interesting to compare the heaviest standard size games as well.
Thanks to whoever posts.
Quoted from LTG:WOZ 320 pounds.
Williams wide bodies 300 pounds.
This is uncrated weights.
LTG : )
Thanks Lloyd,
I would have guessed that there would be more a difference than 20 pounds between JJP & Williams.
Are you on the clock? Get Jack to pay you per post and you'll be retired in no time! : ))
Thanks Again
I presume it's hard to nudge WOZ? I've got a virtual pin that I built out of 3/4" ply, widebody style, with a good bit of hardware in it, and it's a solid, heavy bugger. Nudging it is a bit difficult!
I've moved several widebodies, but the two heaviest would have to be Jolly Park and Verne's World. Spinball used particle board cabinets, which are heavier than plywood (and these are even a touch wider than US widebody games too). To make matters worse, the playfields are made of heavy ol' MDF and they have a 1/4" layer of Perspex on top of that. Both are heavily loaded with toys/mechs. too. 
I'm willing to bet those two are heavier than WOZ....that said, I'm still really dreading moving my WOZ upstairs! I'm thinking I'll be beheading it right away!

Put some pants on laddy!! You call yourself a pinball player!! I crrraaaappp bigger than UUUU!
Just kidding. It's not hard to nudge.
Quoted from LTG:WOZ 320 pounds.
And keep in mind that this is without any pressboard/MDF in the cabinet. It would probably be even heavier if they used that.
I normally move games into my basement myself. I had a spotter when I moved WOZ. 
Quoted from Spudgunman:unless its FULL OF QUARTERS, then its 390!!! wooooooooooo!
$1400 dollars.
Better empty it sooner.

I can attest that it's one heavy mother. But, as far as nudging is concerned, it's easy. I'm adjusting the tilt mechanism tonight after work.

blasphemy
Quoted from vid1900:Pull the head, pull the playfield = moves like a Zizzle.
One person can't pull the playfield on a woz. Or at least my weak ass cant.. its 170+ lbs by my estimation.
Quoted from LTG:WOZ 320 pounds.
Still lighter than some of those behemoths from the 80's.
Quoted from Honch:320lbs, I think that is what RFM weighs.
Actually it was 360lbs. Dang thats heavy!
Pappy
Quoted from MattElder:heaviest would have to be Jolly Park
Holly crap Jolly Park is one of as pinsiders say' grail' pinball machines.
Quoted from PappyBoyington:Actually it was 360lbs. Dang thats heavy!

Back in March Jack stated the final game was 320lbs plus 30lbs for packaging. Although, a week ago Alex mentioned 335lbs.
Quoted from jlm33:For comparison: anyone has a WoZ and a Road Show ?RS is by far my heaviest Pin. Won't move any time soon, except to sell it. I love to move games, bring them to Family parties, pin festival but RS will stay at home. Too heavy.
You are right about RS. Pretty heavy. Just glad I have a straight shot through the basement door to the game room!
Quoted from Sunfox:Back in March Jack stated the final game was 320lbs plus 30lbs for packaging. Although, a week ago Alex mentioned 335lbs.
If jack says its 320 thats what it is. I have a proto game with a bunch of extra shit it in
Quoted from PappyBoyington:Actually it was 360lbs. Dang thats heavy!
Wow!! If I ever get one, it will get sold with the house when I die, because I'm not moving it twice. 
Quoted from markmon:Anyone know what Safe Cracker weighs? That little thing seems heavier than my wide bodies.
Flyer says 290, it seems heavier. A lot of metal in that thing. It's size is deceiving.

LOL, I wonder if RFM is the heaviest production pin ever? Anybody know of one heavier?
