Title: Best way to transport pre-assemble T3000 home and down to the basement?
Post by: Edmonton_foosball on December 18, 2013, 07:09:15 PM

Hello all,

 I tried to search and can not find the answer i was looking for.

anyway, here goes. I am planning to buy a newly tournament used T3000 from local shop (SML-edmonton) and was wondering what is the best way to transport it home and into the basement?

 with my 1st table (1978 coin op grey mable tournament Soccer) we took the leg off and bring the top with all the men attached as one piece.

Should I do the same with T3000?

Open the top to about a 90 degree angle and slide it off the hinges.  Two people recommended.  I've done it by myself in my younger days but I wouldn't even attempt it now.  Depending on the stairway and door to the basement, you may not have to remove the legs.  It's a simple operation though if you do.  Do not over tighten the legs.

Two people. One small dolly. Just moved two cherry coin ops.  Unbolt th legs, lift onto laid down legs (alter each side while buddy holds up other side).  Lift top at 90dgrees and slide off.  Stand on end.  Run rubber straps through rods so they don't move.  Strap to dolly low and high.  Pull to stairs.  Lower down with one guy below. EASY!  Reassemble.  Trust me, walk in the park.
