Quoted from FathomPin:Does the Ez-Slide work to improve playfield balance when propped up for working under it, Data East playfield ,Jurassic Park in particular? In the Ez-Slide demo I saw the new, very high and long, side rails for propping up the Stern (I think) playfields, not a side prop bar, so I wonder if using a prop bar needs to be eliminated entirely and install the side rails too?
Right now I started using a 1x2x30-inch stick to prop up the playfield when working on it, because I have had the playfield twist off the rails when using the prop-up bar located on the RH-side of the cabinet. Propping the playfield up on just one side makes it very unbalanced; no wonder the flipper circuit board gets damaged on these pins. I prop the stick in the front of the cabinet, so it is center balanced, either at the bottom or at the top of the front side depending on how high I need the playfield to be, but I worry I might hit it with my arm or something and have it come crashing down. What should a hobbyist do here to work on the game?
Also; I've been on Pinside for over 10 years and I still don't know how to start a new topic post, so I am replying to the last post of the Data East club and not knowing what topic it will be filed under.
I've used these and they're great. I also installed stern playfield support brackets (this was on my Tommy machine). The stern supports were much better than the posts that came stock. I tried to find a pic, but they seem to be deleted?....If you reply to a post in a thread, it will be in that thread...to make a new one, pick a catagory you want to post in, then once signed in should be pretty straightforward.
