Storing pinball machines

(1/3) > >>

Flake:
So I sold my house and am in the process of packing things away into storage while my new house is being built.  My plan is to move the pinball machines to my parents house.  Would it be better to set them up or leave them folded up?  My parents will not play them.  Is there something in a pinball machine that will suffer from being in a folded up state for 4-5 months?

Flake:
Well space isnt a concern at their house.  I just wanted to make sure I'm not going to hurt anything by leaving it in a folded up state for 4-5 months.

Thanks

Pinball Wizard:
Depending on the game, remove the pinballs out of it. Only a handful of pinballs actually are held in the game well when vertical and/or being moved. I've heard one to many hit the playfield glass as they jump the trough. Other than that you should be good.

If the games have batteries make sure they are new.  This is to avoid corrosion and keep any settings and high score while not being plugged in.

RayB:
Store them at my place.
