how safe is transport an arcade game on its side?
from the pic, the monitor tray looks secure.
that should be my only concern right?
-
Transport how far? A gutted cab or a working machine?
On a working cab, beside the monitor you need to make sure the power supply is secure as well the monitor and it's isolation transformer.

If you can tip it on it's back, then you can tip it on it's side just as easily, as long as everything's secure. The cab I have was transported to me on it's back because it has wheels on the bottom of the backside. Made it a lot easier to pull out of the back of a pickup and if the back got scratched, big deal because the back is up against a wall now. But if it's easier for you to transport on it's side, then it's just like anything else you would want to transport.
Make sure nothing will slide into it, make sure everything inside is secure, and make sure that nothing underneath is going to scratch up the side. Above all, make sure it's secured to whatever you're transporting it in.

its aggiezze rygar cab in the buy sell trade forum
there is a monitor in it, i can't tell about the power supply or iso transormer from the pics
i'll have to take some tools in case

That's the best way to go about moving anything, have a moving tool kit to go along with you. ;D

That Rygar cabinet doesn't have a monitor, it has a picture tube, all the rest of the monitor is missing. Picture tube with no chassis means one of two things, chassis was robber because IT was good, and the tube was bad, or chassis was taken out for repairs and never put back in.
Anyway, you should always check inside any game before moving them to make sure stuff is secure, if it is then you can pretty much move them any way you want.

That sucks. How does one dispose of a picture tube?

One way is to climb up on to of the house with it. Look down for small animals. Once you spot one, dispose of it in the direction of the small animal.
another way is to set up on a post in your backyard and use a 12 gage shotgun. Aim in the middle...
yet another way is to prop it on top of a partially opened door and then call your neighbor over...
And my favorite way :Take it on the road at a minimum of 45 mph, open the window and dispose of it on a brick mailbox...
