Getting the cabinet into the house proved to be a bigger challenge than i bargained for. It separated into three sections but 2/3 of the cabinet wouldn't fit thru our front door or even the door of our arcade room. The front door measures 27" and the Grand Champ cabinet measures 31" at its widest point. We tried all sorts of ways to tip the cabinet on its side etc to get thru the front door but it was no use

How to put a racing arcade machine through a window. (The only damage that occured was to the window frame NOT the cabinet)

Cabinet all ready for racing. We have taken out the original control panel with the wheel and also the pedals (wires were cut) and replaced them with pc ones. I might try and get the wheel working, i think it may be a 270 degree wheel... maybe 300 its definately not a 360 wheel. Also using a serial trackball instead of mouse with a wireless keyboard and a 21 Inch monitor. The games we intend playing are MAME racing games if i can get a pc wheel working with it, PC versions of sega rally, sega rally2, daytona usa, daytona USA deluxe, Need for Speed series, GTR, F1 challenge, Colin McRae Rally, Outrun, and others

That must have been such a pain in the ass to get it through that window, it looks like you were lucky it actually fit.

Great sideart on the machine.
