On that note, E2 will fit through smaller indoor doorways if you take the control panel off. It's 4-8 bolts depending on how many they left on.

Does anyone know if the Domy Theater panel comes off for fitting through doorways?

Not sure about the Domy Theater, but the Windy 2 is the one I'm worried about getting through small doors without a major disassembly.

Looks like the control panel is not removable which is too bad!

The Domy actually comes with a 10lb Sledge Hammer packed inside of it for the easy removal of walls.

Thanks to removing CPO, I could pass it through doorways at home

Size removing CPO and coin rail:

645 x 750 x 1450 mm

Also you can remove coin box, small front door, pcb mounting wood board and back door to make it lighter. (It could be up to 15kg less)

Egret 2 is the most awesome cab ever

Any door less than 75cm wide means major dissassembly for the Windy unfortunately.

The door frame for my desired room is just about exactly that wide, should be interesting. I know I'll have to take the door off the hinges again to get more cabs in, just hope the wood molding on the door frame itself doesn't make the difference and prevent it from scooting in.

Worst case scenario I'll have to disassemble the cab or just put it in my office.

Taking taking apart a windy is an absolute nightmare. Avoid it at all cost. I would rather take apart a door frame then tear down that cab

I took apart a Megalo 410 to get in my game room a few weeks ago and I've never had a worse experience.

I'd thought Astro City were rough, having to pull the whole can in half, but they're nothing compared to some others for sure.

Good news all. My buddy says we can use his work place to process the cabs off the container. His location is in Fremont, CA which is about 20 minutes south of Oakland. Right near the Tesla factory. More good news! He has a dock afterall and says we can use it. The only thing that is of issue is timing. As long as we can pull this off before XMas, we are good to go. If the cabs get here next week, that would be the best case scenario.

@Cereth, I'll PM you the address.

Virtual On is the most Pain in the ass cab I've ever had the displeasure of having to move... I have extra wide (36in) doorways in my basement, and I still have to strip off the coin box, divider and side plastics to fit through the doors.

Of course I have a Flash Beats now and that's so wide it has to live in my garage, and there is nothing that can be done to make it fit through a door.

build a new house around it

build a new house around it

that's actually the plan.

In that case you need to get one of those vanity street signs and have your address on Flash Beats Street.

I'm tearing mine down as soon as I get it. Going to clean it top to bottom like in the link I posted. Probably change those fans out and maybe see about recapping the chassis, psu and sound amp.

Ammeding my previous post and addressing @rewrite, @theoddtech, @Cereth, we need to knock it out in a day. Should be not problem with a dock at our disposal. But make sure you've eaten your Wheaties that day. You know I am ready.

@rewrite and @theoddtech, for general travel location, look up the Tesla factory on Google. My buddy's place of work is right across the freeway; I'll add both of you to the PM after Cereth replies so you have the exact address. What we will be doing is this:

• Back up the container into the dock
• Back up one of Cereth's trucks into the receiving bay that is for regular deliveries
• Unload one or two cabs at a time off the contrainer
• Make a quick u-turn with those cabs to the other receiving bay where Cereth's trucks will be parked
• Load them onto Cereth's truck with the lift gate one or two at a time
  • Taking extra care that they don't fall off
• Rinse and repeat until all the cabs are off the container

We might be able to stage the cabs in my buddy's dock depending on what business he has going on that day. That way, Cereth can just back his trucks into the dock and we can wheel them onto his trucks from the staging area. Skip using the lift gate. But won't know till then. Here is a pic of my buddy's dock so you can have a visual on the effort ahead:


My buddy is going to travel soon, so if the container gets here next week that would be best case scenario. If it gets here after, he is going to have one of his coworkers be around to help us with access. The only thing up in the air now is when they will get here and the logistics thereafter. Exciting!

Sounds great!
