I would really like to get a few dedicated arcade machines, like Ms. PacMan, Centipede, and Marble Madness. For some reason, the morons who built my house 28 years ago did not include an external enterance. Even better, the inside enterance has a landing with a 90 degree turn. I tried using cardboard, but it...didn't go well. You can even have the thing back afterward. It might end up damaged, but if its a ---Cleveland steamer--- cab anyway, it shouldn't matter.

You should draw out on a piece of paper the stariwell and the dimensions... i have a landing with a 90' turn on mine to but im up here in canada... i will measure my stairwell to yours. I have a dynamo cab that fit as well.

Oh ... but it is much easier to get a 250lb arcade cabinet home when you do not have a drivers license ? :P
I appreciate that the younger folk who have not experienced the joys of moving may not have a handle on what will fit where and how to make it happen.
My point is that asking to borrow somebody's classic cabinet seems to me to be a rather bizarre request when, by his own admission, things went badly with a cardboard mockup ... would YOU lend him a Galaga cabinet to try with ?
Cheers.
USSEnterprise:
cardboard mockup went badly because:
* Was made of many, many taped together boxes
* Was very floppyI tried Home Depot and Lowes for a fridge box. No luck. Another idea. What are dimemsions of upright Ms. Pac Man? I could just build a similar box out of balsa or cheap ply, and try and get that down the stairs.
Havok:
Just build it downstairs! You should make it a modular design, so it comes apart in three pieces: cp, top, bottom. All set...
