I would also advise putting a few blankets under the arcade cabinet. This will help soften the cabinet's ride.
: You should be fine...just make sure that everything 'loose' inside is bolted down so that nothing flies around inside the cab during the trip.
: You may want to take out/off anything breakable like the bezel glass, floro tubes, etc and protect them in a blanket or similar.

: : I was curious if any damage could be done to an arcade monitor, if I was to ship it lying down on its back for about a 6 hour trip. I don't want to have to drive with it standing up in a pickup truck, and would rather just lay it down flat, as it would fit in my truck bed. I've heard some people say not to ship them like this, but I don't see the obvious problems from it. Everyone always ships them standing up, so I thought I would just ask here.
