    hello,

    i am in the finial stages of a restoration on a BSD.
    i did the underside of the play field on a saw horse but for the top i switched to a rotisserie.

    i hope to get the play field back into the machine in a day or two but i am concerned about warping.
    anyone have any experience with that?

    thanks,

    m.

    How fast is your rotisserie spinning?

    Should be fine. If you're really nervous prop a broom stick under the middle and call it a night.

    To prevent warping I always rotated the playfield vertically when done for the night. If left in the horizontal position you could see slight sagging. I've never had any warping thus far.

    As soon as you put the rails back on, you won't have that center playfield sag.

    You can also just rotate the playfield on edge and not worry about it at all.
