When 2 of us moved my marblemadness (327 lbs according to the manual) up
the stairs I removed the monitor, glass front, marquee glass, and the
front and back access panels (heavy chipboard). I think every ounce you
can strip off the thing is a help and removing the monitor and access
panels also gives you more handholds. It's not just that these things
weigh so much it's also that they are hard to get a good grip off.

Going down stairs is probably worse than going up though so I'd also get
as many guys as I could.

:-) If you do be sure to have someone video the exercise. The results
could be funnier than Loral and Hardy in 'The Music Box'.
