Jeffrey,
Use a courier or "hotshot" service. Save yourself some effort and
chiropractic fees....
I use a courier service to move my arcade games around. It costs me $25 to
have a guy in an enclosed liftgate-equipped truck go to the trucking
terminal (about 15 miles away), load up the 350 lb. crate, bring it to my
house, and drop it off in my garage.
I imagine that you may be able to find a service near you that does the
same. It's cheaper than injuring yourself (potentially), and they are
better equipped to make moves like this.
Just a thought - might save you some trouble.....
(and your back) : )

I just got a VAX 6000. More details on the system
itself will come later.
Right now, I need to move it the short distance from its warehouse it my
garage. I will probably do this tomorrow. I want to run my logistics plan by
the list and see if there are any problems.
Basically, my idea is to borrow my parents' utility trailer, throw an old
mattress (which I have) in it, lay the VAX on its side on top of the
mattress, and tie down. 3.5 miles later, we'll slide the VAX off and push it
upright. Repeat the process to get the other cabinet.
My only concern ATM is laying the VAX on its side. That won't damage the
enclosure, will it?
