The Big Move

[PaulSwan]

They are wrapped, double-blanketted and packed down 3 a abreast on the cabs long edge (there's only a few inches space either side). I can't imagine a way to pack the games so they'd survive being dropped or tipped over short of an individual crate. Shaking and rattling should be fine, though. Fingers crossed.

Awesome 'Arcade Life Style' pictures! 
Great to see all those guys helping you on this! Arcade Community Rulez!
I wish you all the best 'over seas' now 

 

[PaulSwan]

Yes, people came from all over to help, what a great comunity we have.
It's moored in Antwerp at the moment...

Impressive

40 foot containers are SO large once you step in them. To compare, I once moved house and (almost) everything we owned fitted in a 20' (that was long before I collected).

Good to see you had a lot of help, can you put some avatars to the faces ? (I know Alpha1 and Rav of course)..

I assume you "filled up" the container with some material ? Else stuff will get shifted/thrown around for sure during the trip....

Rumor has it that one of the left behind cabs has my name on it

That ugly bugger second from the left is me

Paul, you moved a LOT of cabs there!!  

[PaulSwan]

Yeah, about 35 plus two cockpits and one pin. They are all bobbing along the Atlantic on their way to the Dominican Republic now <gulp>.

[Muerto]

What did it cost you to move the cabs this way?? (40 foot container...)

[PaulSwan]

4500 UKP door-to-door. Been putting money away for it for years...

Hey,

He used my sister-in-law to be, and I managed to get near cost shipping for him

Oll is da-man

[gyruss]

What an operation, really hardcore! Do you have a big enough game room in the States to house the 35 cabs?   

[level42]

Hey, in America everything is bigger...... houses, cars, milkshakes, Starbucks coffee and even the government debt. :p

[gyruss]

And with all the games available over there he might need an even bigger room. 

[PaulSwan]

This is my place in the US, just after being stripped out of old cabinets and just before the floor sealing. About one third of it is workshop area & and shelving now, with the remainder open space. I've been working on getting it sorted over the last couple of years or so.
