What doe an arcade cabinet weigh?

[DrTopCat]

I'm moving home and the shipping company needs to have an itemised list of the weight of the items being moved.

Does anyone know the weight of an arcade cabinet.

I have two. One is a leisure 2000 a bit like this one:

The other is a typical Taito Space invaders cocktail cab. TIA

Uk stype jamma cab 120kg - 140kg or more.
Uk style midi / cabaret 80kg-100k.
Williams classic upright - 120kg.
Jap candy cab - 80-130 kg.

The candy cab frame itself weighs less but 29"tube weighs a tonne. Also for the euro style cabs the weight is more because they generally were made of chipboard rather than plywood which were used on the original, dedicated cabs.

The heaviest ass cans I have shifted were Atari Europe, and the 2 "BAS cabs. Goliath are not far behind. They weighed a lot more than other cabs.

Also I got stopped coming back from play Manchester one year - the van had 1300 kg of load with maybe 9 cabs in it when put on the weighbridge by traffic police.

Space Invaders cocktail cab is 54kg.

An outrun upright is 120kg, which was one of the heaviest I've moved about, infact the Outrunners was heavier, but that has a larger monitor, which can make all the difference.

I've used this site before which has been quite useful although not every piece of information is in there:
