Welp, turns out that wooden storage box thing was easier to take off than I thought! :D

Truck is ready to go. Gonna go get it in the morning.

Everything went pretty smoothly. The damage on the machine was on it when I got it, for the price I paid ($280) I'd have expected a lot worse. Glad I brought the dolly as one of the two caster wheels was missing.

Happy with it either way. Plan to still fix it up a bit, replace some parts here and there, etc. It works fine, which is the most important thing.

Sitting in a kinda temporary spot until I find the time to lug it into my game room.

I like that you have it so close to your fridge. When playing MKII, a beer should always be within arm's length.

Good forethought on your part. Better to be safe than sorry.

Cab looks pretty excellent, by the way. Congrats.

Glad the trip went smoothly without giving someone an impromptu hood ornament.
