Hey Dave This is what I bought (2 of - one for each floor) when I broke my Costco one. Basically identical except for blue. Shipping was about $30 on top but Fedex to my door. You don't put on the handle and it stores under a pin out of the way. Can't beat it. http://www.manitobatools.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=15565ME |

you need to be one of those crazy guys that cuts a hole in the floor and builds some accident waiting to happen pulley system.
my next house will have stairs from the garage to the basement, with an electric chain motor hooked into the roof trusses to lower machines to the basement, if i can afford the next "dream" house

i bought one of the original pinball carts, and it's great, got the cylinder rebuilt, and it works like a charm, only problem is my ceiling is so low in this house, i can't raise it up, or it hits the roof  save it for the next house i guess Eric |

These work pretty good too. When Princess Auto has a sale you can sometimes get 4 for about 25 bucks... http://www.princessauto.com/farm/casters/light-duty-0-200/8026520-tri-dolly?keyword=casters
THis what I use too as a lift dolly doesn't make much sense in my squished basement. You can also ge away with two and lift the front to steer the pin around. I'll bet that nothing beats the lift for quick set-up break down of a pin though, or lowering the pin from its leg height to work on the playfield underside, etc. |

I use a motorcycle lifter with a modified bed as well. Mine's a little more redneck/cobbled together than the ones i've seen, but truth be told, it works like a charm. pop it under a pin, lift it and roll it where it needs to go. I do reccomend at LEAST 12 inches of extra height for a bed. Dunno if they are on sale this week, but they usually sell at Canadian Tire for 95 or so, but go for half price a few times a year. |

I used to use those 3 wheel skates from PA, but I was always having issues with them popping out from under the legs, especially on carpet. This probably isn't an issue for most of you though, sine few people seem to have finished basements.  |
