I have to move a Pin in the back of a covered truck and today would be great, but it is Freaking Cold outside! I am talking about -15 to -20 Below zero Fahrenheit or -25 Celsius. The posts I looked through all talk about around Freezing temperatures. Anybody move these DMD era games in this kind of temperature? I think the game would have to be in the back of the truck for about 8 hours!

Or should I wait for the warming trend that is coming...


If it does not have a real screen backglass you should be ok, but be careful handling any playfield glass or translite glass as the warmth of your hands is enough to cause tempered glass to shatter.

Do NOT power it up when it's cold.
