Cabinet, Legs and Backbox Setup
A typical delivered machine may require the cabinet to be raised, legs installed and the backbox secured upright. Manufacturer or seller instructions should guide bolts, spacers and cable routing. Because the cabinet is heavy, enough working space should be available around it before the machine is brought into position.
Heavy-Machine Delivery Condition and Access
Send photos of how the machine will arrive and note whether it is already inside the property. Walk-up stairs, small elevators and narrow hallways can turn setup into a moving problem. NY-GoodHome does not automatically provide commercial moving, crating or insured specialty transport.
Leveling and Final Room Position
Pinball legs often include levelers so the cabinet can stand securely. Basic leveling can be performed according to the product setup, but this is not tournament calibration. The final room should have adequate clearance for the glass, backbox and access to the coin door or service points.
Basic Startup vs Electronic Repair
After the cabinet, legs and backbox are assembled, normal manufacturer-directed connections can be checked. If the machine shows display, board, switch, solenoid or power problems, those faults should be treated as specialist repair rather than included in assembly.
Apartment, Office and Game-Room Logistics
For boxed arcade cabinets use Arcade Game Assembly, and for broader recreation furniture use Arcade & Game Table Assembly. Pool tables have their own heavy-equipment page. Use Contact with the machine model and complete access route.
Before Setup
Confirm whether legs, leg bolts, backbox hardware, power cord and keys are present. If the machine is vintage, used or partially disassembled, send detailed photos so restoration issues are not mistaken for normal new-equipment setup.
Project Details to Confirm
State whether the machine is arriving from a retailer, a private seller or another room/property and whether the legs/backbox are already removed. Include stair count, elevator size and the heaviest section if known. For vintage or used machines, photographs of cabinet damage and connectors help keep setup separate from restoration or electronics service.
