Moving a machine up stairs
ChadTower:
The transformer takes a lot of weight out too and isn't that much effort.
I don't know about carrying a headless, glassless pin up stairs alone, just because of the bulk. Easy with a hand truck, though. Most of mine fit that description and I rarely have any help going in and out of the basement. A $35 Home Depot hand truck does fine.
If you're going to buy one, though, don't get one with inflated tires. Mine has them and it makes the thing too bouncy on stairs.

The implications of this post are accurate

I just moved a pin downstairs about 2 hours ago...
Use a hand truck. Strap it to the hand truck, count to three on each step and have the guy below push as the guy above pulls. It's easy.

Heh, tried that with the last guy I moved a game with... let's just say he was impatient, didn't listen to timing instructions, and then knocked the cab off the stupid hand truck even though it was strapped down. Some guys just aren't good at things like that.
