coin-ops and a Neo Geo is a bit cumbersome, but weighs around 295lbs
or so, so generally 3 can handle it with 2 at the bottom and one
guiding the top if you're going to carry it down the stairs, don't
bump it down step by step, the innards will take a pounding...
You may want to look into removing the monitor from the unit as well
as the power supply, that alone will remove close to 100lbs out of
the unit and make moving it soooooooo much easier.
I'd just as soon not try to remove the monitor. The power supply is
only about the size of a PC PS, so I can't see as how that would save
much in the way of weight. All the cartridges will be pulled, as
they are staying home for use in the SuperGun with our 1-slot board.
:^)
The other thing that will be interesting is when we get it to
storage, I've been told it has to go onto casters so we can easily
move it between units if we have to. My Dad has been volunteered to
build the "skateboards", so I'm not worried about them holding up,
just getting the unit up on them.
