My Pinball Playfield Swap - Stargate - All Electronics Done!
Buddabing:
Here's a picture of the rotisseries. The second one isn't quite complete yet. It will be painted blue. I had some blue and gold spray paint lying around that I used. I like to think that the gold symbolizes the large amount of money I've spent on this project.
The second one is shorter because I was able to locate the 30" pipes for it. I used 36" pipes for the first one.
Buddabing:
And here's a picture of the playfield clamped to the rotisserie.
ChadTower:
Very nice... those rotisseries are cool.
Buddabing:
Today I rigged up a way to get the playfield out of the machine (and back in, eventually) without ruining my back.
I had a cheap, easy to dissassemble clothes rack lying around, so I got the idea of getting another one, suspending the playfield from those, and gradually lifting the playfield until it was clear of the cabinet.
Here are pictures of the first stage, lifting the front. This part was easy since there was a hole and two flanges convenient to tie the rope to.
Buddabing:
Here's the other clothes rack in action.
For this trial I loosened the wire harness but I did not undo any connectors. The wire harness has plastic guides throughout the machine to neaten up the wiring. I've removed the wires from these guides, which can be done non-destructively.
On the back side, I threaded the rope underneath the two vertical up kickers. I think the VUKs are mounted sturdily enough and they are thick enough to withstand the weight for an hour or so.
