No way, you mean there is really only a 25 lb weight difference between an Atari cab and a Williams one? Man, it feels more like a 100 lb difference. ALthough the fact that Atari cabinets have nothing to hold onto might make them feel heavier.

Mine is only about 70 lbs with monitor. I decided to go with paper mache to make it. The best part is I can fill it up with candy and let the kids take a baseball bat to it once or twice a year.

I agree that it is deceiving, Atari cabs seem to feel a lot heavier for some reason but they really aren't that much heavier than most of the others (except Nintendo!). :)

My Space Firebird actually weighed in at under 100 lbs, with everything inside. I was so light and easy to move that my buddy an I were able to covertly move it from the end of the second row to the beginning of the first row at the auction while they were selling the slots.
