Post by: old school gamer on August 10, 2004, 09:24:18 am

Does anybody have a rough idea how much a standard upright arcade game weighs?? Trying to figure it out for shipping purposes. Thanks

Approximate weight of two of my machines is 300lbs.
The machines in question have arcade monitors and are made of 3/4 MDF.

300 lbs for both? So 150 each..... I was kind of looking for the weight of an original upright,like Defender,Pacman,Tapper,etc. Like I said,it doesnt have to be these exact games, just a rough idea for shipping purposes. Thanks

Tapper was a heavy game weighing in at about 330 pounds. Pacman is about 300 pounds and Defender around 290 pounds.

I hauled a NBA Hangtime down a sodded hill to my back patio door using a dolly that was far too small for the task. It nearly fell over twice and I pulled a muscle while trying to keep it from smashing itself all over my lawn.

I can imagine shipping one of these babies would be just short of a small fortune. By local and pick up. :)
