Cue the pushy salesman on the cheesy late nice TV infomercials..
"Are you tired of losing tools your pinball cabinet ? Are you wasting your time going back and forth between your pinball and your workbench? Then you need a 'PinBench' (patent pending) "
This is something I've used for years and I thought I'd post the details on the PinBench I made one day after I grew tired of losing parts in the guts of my EMs. This time I made a BETTER version than my original, and it seriously took me 30 minutes to knock up. Basically it's a workbench that sits flat on the pinball cabinet while you work on the underside of the playfield, or in the guys. I've found it useful for when I want to rebuild flippers, or clean the underside of a playfield.
So here is EXACTLY what I use it for - while cleaning and rebuilding untits on the bottom of the Buccaneer Playfield ;
Everything is "level" - you can place containers with cleaning solution and you don't need to worry about it falling into the game - it can't. It could fall sideways on to your feet, but that's about all. Soldering station - no problems. It is made of laminated wood, so no scratches !
Here's what it looks like out of the game - and remember - this is FLAT - whether it is on the game, or on your other workbench ;

Just a neat little setup that saves me hours of going back and forth grabbing tools etc. I hope someone finds this useful as I have
