I hope they took the transformer out first..That's got to hurt one's ass
considerably, those system 11 transformers are pointy and awkward.

damnit. I've been looking for a project High Speed on the cheap. There's one
less out there to find and restore for my basement. (selfish grr)

I'd be less worried about the transformer and more worried about the pointy
screws that hold the cabinet speaker in. I put one of those right through my
hand when trying to get some crossthreaded head bolts out of a machine I was
buying. Had to crawl inside the cab and hold the T-nuts with vise grips because
the teeth had broken off them and they were just spinning. Trying to wiggle
further into the cabinet to reach where I needed to be, I supported almost the
entire weight of my body on one hand - on top of one of these screws.

For those of you who haven't seen 'em; they're really a cross between a fine
thread bolt and a nail. The tip is pointed and VERY sharp. It pierced my hand
and hit bone. When I removed it (slowly) I swear I could feel tissue bumping
over every thread of the bolt. It was lovely. It hurt.. a LOT. Still got the
machine apart and wrapped up, and loaded into my truck. (And of course, after I
got home, I went to get a tetanus booster shot.)

It looks like all they did was set it on a wagon and take the
playfield out. The steering wheel is a logitech one that clamps to a
table, and the board it's clamped to looks like it's being held in
with C-clamps.
