Advice on moving Arcade Cabinet

I figure boards are probably going to shift in transit anyway, so it makes sense to pull the delicate stuff. At least then if there are any accidents with the cab itself there's a reasonable chance it'll be something cosmetic. re. dollies, one of our guys at the museum made a couple not long ago, and they've been fantastic - he said the castors (about 4" diameter) were dirt cheap (I think it was ten pounds for four - so around $20), and he used wood for the deck (around 1 1/2" think). I was wary about how well the wood would stand up, but we've had stuff probably 3x the weight of a typical arcade cab on there and run them across rough surfaces with no ill effects so far. The height's not really been a problem so far, and the larger wheels are a great help. I'd get pissed trying to move something heavy on tiny castors over anything but the smoothest of surfaces... You need two flights of stairs, a thick bit of rope, and another cabinet to use as a counterweight ;) cheers J.
