Sometime this week I am going to pick up the V63 that I bought about two weeks ago.... what do you guys think, can I lay it down to move it? You hear all kinds of stories about not laying fridges flat... does the same apply here? I'd feel more comfortable moving it if I could lay it flat on moving pads in the back of my pickup... appreciate your thoughts....

Laying it flat to move is fine, but once you unload it, and it's upright,for 24 hrs before you plug it back in

Take the shelves out and any other loose parts. Make sure the compressor is firmly attached.
Hope it goes well!

Sorry, but it's a POP MACHINE!

As long as the machine is on its back, you may want to remove the feet and put some screw on casters on the machine.  Your local hardware store should have them (I got mine at Menards).
Attached is an image I stole from the Internet.

About how much do those casters cost? I got to move a machine soon and if I could put those on there I can just wheel it outside instead of having to use the dolly.

Last casters i bought were under $5.00 a wheel. Your mileage may vary, but definately worth it, On the juke boxes we restore, new casters are put on before it comes off the truck, it makes moving it around the shop  so much easier.

Thats an awesome idea.. my wheels are metal and are scratching the hell out of the floor as I move it around... I put those stupid moving plastic thingies under it to make it move easier.
