Best/safest way to move a cabinet?
javeryh:
I'm having some work done on my house and I'll have to relocate 2 of my arcade cabinets to my parents' house for several months. What is the best way to wrap them up for moving? I imagine I'll make 2 separate trips to their house (one for each cabinet) using my Rav4 with the seats down. So the cabinets will be resting on their backs. I was thinking about covering them with blankets and then wrapping them with plastic wrap. Man, this sucks.

Good moving advice thread. My take way is to tape up any cords you can't remove from the back and to wrap with blankets and saran wrap. It's pretty easy.

Most important thing is to make sure that there is nothing loose inside.

Unless we're talking high end games here, or games you've restored lovingly, there really isn't a need to be all protective about them. They're plywood boxes with paint. Just make sure nothing is loose inside and that the monitor is secure and you're good.

The blanket and plastic wrap thing just makes them harder to deal with if they are going into something like a Rav-4.
As the others have said, just make sure you don't have anything loose inside of them.
