Thanks for the advice guys! I'll let you know how it goes! I haven't looked in the FAQs yet, but if it's not in there, can someone tell me how to take the CP off? |

--- Quote from: CheffoJeffo link=topic=53322.msg535058#msg535058 --- Rule #1 is to check that everything is secure inside before moving. Anything that isn't bolted down comes out. I have broken this rule once and it bit me. --- End quote --- Of particular concern are small metal objects like pennies, screws, staples, etc... They can end up shifting during movement and end up inside power supplies, the monitor, or on the PCB. Then when you fire it up, bad things happen. |

I'm also in the Northeast. Where abouts are these games? I may be interested if close enough. |

To release the CP-- Every cabinet is slightly different. Most you can reach up through the coin door and release some type of latch. There are usually 1 on each side. Many also have one along the top edge of the CP. Below are a few pics of some latches. Some CP's are bolted on, but those aren't as common. If you know what type of cabinet it is, you can try to check for scans of manuals for the original game. Sometimes you can find the manual on KLOV, or check out crazykong.com or arcadedocs.com (currently down). |

I'm going to pick up the games tomorrow and I am PUMPED! The doorway going into my basement is 35" wide, but I stupidly didn't bring a tape measure when I went to look at the games, so we'll see if they fit without disassembly tomorrow! |
