Re: How much lighter is a striped cabinet ?

Atari games are the heaviest. They were built quite well. If you're going to
do what you said, take a drop cloth and put the machine on it. Then remove
everything. You will have LOTS of dirt and stuff. Get the CP, Glass, Monitor,
Everything out. It will still be heavy, but two guys with strong backs should
be able to do it. I'd say it will be less than half as heavy as it was.
