Ice ball question..

[Holden]

Anyone ever ship or take one apart? I’m assuming it shouldn’t be too bad but before I won the auction I realized it was 545lbs!

assuming the back box must unbolt etc.

tia if anyone has tips!

Here's the manual from Ice for your reference: CLICK ME

The cabinet is in two chunks as you assumed and it splits right after the hump that launches the ball up. It uses a large allen key (like the ones with a pinball head) to do the latches. Maybe 5/16"? There will be wiring harnesses in there so be careful when separating them. Also don't forget the thing is like 7 feet tall and 10 feet long.

Thanks Brian, I found the Manual as well just not those instructions provided by you!

cheers

I looked pretty seriously.
But again, too big, not enough floor space.
For me.

Reminds me of last summer when I bought a Wheel of Fortune arcade game at the P1 auction. Then I found the manual and realized I couldn't move it and they wanted more to deliver it than I paid. So luckily I found someone to take it off my hands and get it directly from the auction. Be careful when you buy arcade stuff sight unseen.

I actually had remembered your post! That's why I didn't bother bidding on those bigger toys, I knew I wouldn't be able to move it in time - you need a bigger truck/trailer and a friend willing to risk traveling right now..
