Hi all, thought i'd post a couple of pics of the new pf rotisserie i just built.
As per the subject, this cost me bugger all to build (only about $5 for a few half inch & 5/16" bolts & nuts i bought to use for the pivot points and for the locking clamps so i can lock the jig into any position i need. I used angle iron from old bed frames i had lying around that i had saved when i moved back to the coast. I just measured and cut it all out with an angle grinder, then borrowed a MIG welder from my brother and basically re-learned how to weld
(i had dabbled with welding about 20 yrs ago when i was messing about with cars and then when i built my pinball trolley).
It aint pretty (yet!!) but its strong and will do the job. i will eventually grind it all smooth and paint it. I had need of a bigger jig as i have AP member 'howzat's Genie pf to do (pictured clamped into the jig) and it was too long to fit into my old timber constructed jig, (genie's pf is about 5 inches longer than a standard pf!!) I needed it built quick so i can start on Ian's Genie PF, so finishing off the jig will have to wait for now
All up it took me about 4 or 5 hours to build including time spent working out how i was going to swivel points and clamping bolts (easiest/quickest way i could do it that is)
I also plan on putting a plywood tray in the bottom to hold parts/tools etc.
BTW, it will hold standard size playfields as well just by sliding the pivot bolts inwards.
