Joystick Prob - Gauntlet Dark Legacy Purchase *with pics*

good cause I'm a little nervous about the trailer I have and transporting it upright. There's not really a good way to keep it upright and strap it in. The metal eyehooks in the trailer are lower close to the bed so I can lay it down and then strap it in good.

Do you advise taking off control panel first if laying down? Other thoughts?

Hi,

Nice find! I also have a Gauntlet Legends cabinet. I paid $200Cdn for mine, it's in nice shape also, but came stripped (no monitor, no boards). Sounds like you scored!  :applaud:

- The issue with he control panel is the width it adds - you may not be able to get through standard-width doorways with it on. It's easy to take off though, so plan to remove it.

- As mentioned, the marquee just folds flat against the top of the cabinet, you'll need a Torx screwdriver or bit to lower it though. Not sure what size, I can check tonight if you want.

- I laid mine flat on it's back to bring it home, no issues. Of course mine was basically empty, so make sure the boards, etc. are all bolted tight before laying it down. If possible, vacuum out the bottom of the cabinet first so the black dust doesn't get all over the electronics when you tip it.

- It's VERY heavy! Mine had no monitor or boards, and the control panel off, and I still needed 3 guys to lift it down my staircase. Things were complicated by the fact that it barely fit around a 90 deg. corner in my stairs, but it made it.  ;D

I would say if you can strap it to a good furniture dolly you should be able to keep the monitor in so along as you have a strong guy on each side of it.

ALWAYS be careful laying a cabinet down for transport. Open it, check it very very carefully. Check the monitor 3 times. Would really suck to have the monitor shift and break the neck, or have a loose quarter bounce around and do the same. Be very vigilant before laying it down to move it.

Well I picked it up. Played great. Guy couldn't find keys to cab and was pressed for time so I had to transport without inspecting inside: (  almost home. Cross my fingers everything is ok.

urbecrisch:
Got it home and plugged it in... Bam!  Came on right away!  Whew! Made it home safe.  I'll send some pics when she's all cleaned up and in the game room :)  Looks to me like I really scored on this one!  I'm thinking it's a 8.5 -9 condition.  Monitor crisp and clean!
