Title: Playfield jig
Post by: Mr Pinbologist on October 18, 2008, 07:30:50 PM
Heres some pics of a playfield jig/rotisserie that i threw together this morning, out of mostly bits and pieces i had laying around home. I got the idea from some of you on here who mentioned it before, i had my stingray pf out working on it and found it was a pain in the butt getting at both sides when i needed to. Just thought other members might want to see what i came up with for the job!
The only things i had to buy were the angle brackets in the bottom corners and the 1200 x 300 melamine covered shelf i used for the base. I made it so i can adapt it for wide body pf's if need be. Also i added locking screws that screw into 't' nuts in each end so i can lock it flat (see pics)

Thanks guys, glad you liked!! It only took me about two hours to make... simple but effective. I could've went to alot more trouble with it... i still might refine it abit more yet... or maybe not... depends how many more machines i stumble across on i guess. But im definitely outta room now, unless i buy a cheaper car and let it sit outside  :lol
