Ow guys.....sorry !!!!
The item I wanted from Quarter was a filter board for the Q*bert but .....I decided to literarily "cut that out".....

So I don't really need anything from Quarter anymore at the moment......yikes.....well only maybe some black-leathered T-molding, but I'm not sure if that will justify all the extra hassle (can just as well order that stuff at T-molding.com or Gamemolding.com)
The leg levelers are going to weigh in hugely and will be probably responsible for most of the weight....I think that would explane the 44 bucks shipping costs....
Since I started this, I'd still be OK with giving it a go but blackie63, where are you located ? Sometimes shipping such heavy stuff on will tend to make things just more expensive. Quarter arcade also always declares "full value" which might make the order end up needing import duties and taxes....
