All -
I have a one time use / need for one of these. I am not a restoration guy any more (used to spend lots time but just don’t have it to do full restorations). Also I love the design - kudos to Bill.
I did chat with Bill about renting one but this is not part of his business model - which I completely understand.
(A) SO my proposal (anyone buying the rotisserie & the sidekick) I would rent it from you to do this 1 time playfield swap.
This could help offset what you pay for one for the long-term!!!!
(B). 2nd proposal - if you are doing a 1-time swap I would buy the setup from you to complete mine after yours. Let me know.
PM if interested.
Thanks.
Quoted from tonyhoff1:Or you buy it and resell it to me as I can use 2.
That is another good idea!
Anyone interested in any of the 3 proposals above PM me!
Quoted from rx3:Got my rotisserie a couple weeks ago. Very nice. I envy your welds op. I'm sure I'm in the minority here when it comes to using clamps, but no way will I use clamps to hold my playfield. Please no offense, this is just my constructive criticism, but clamps seem kinda cheesy for such a nice rotisserie.
I made a different mounting system that is working out really well. I copied it from another rotisserie, so not my idea. You can mount the whole playfield including the backboard. I'm posting pictures, and yes I know my welding sucks ass.
I plasti dipped the rotisserie, but I still think powder coating is the best option. I ordered the pro version because I wanted to use one piece to join the A-frames together as opposed to 3 separate links. One piece seems sturdier. I think.
I put together this rolling cart allowing me to roll the rotisserie around in my crowded garage. It's also the perfect height for working while sitting on my work stool.
I have thick skin. Feel free to tell me my ideas suck.[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
Like the idea.
Have you thought of making it a U Bracket plate where playfield slips in between and bolt goes through. Then you can install rubber foam on insides of u bracket.
Basically you have half of the U. Weld another plate on each one.
Just wondering when you flip all the weight is now on bolt head.
FYI
Quoted from rx3:Damn! That's a good idea. I'm going to try that.
Then we can buy them from you. Nice add on!!
Read 2nd post. Maybe still make in that way and you can still use your way or my way depending on your playfield.

Quoted from wrd1972_PinDoc:The June build begins tomorrow! Still taking orders on Rotos and Sidekicks. All items (excluding LE) will ship before the end of the month. Sliders (excluding LE) will start shipping early July. The Sliders will be order-able by the end of the weekend.
BEAT THE PRICE INCREASE COMING IN JULY!!!
Starting next month. All the prices on all items will increase 5%. This is due to a cost increase on materials.
Also by popular demand. I will also now be including thumb-bolts for the extenders on all Premium, and LE rotisseries, at no extra cost.

I would shop the metal around (before raising prices) from near and far suppliers you might be surprised at the pricing variation we are seeing.
Example - less than $1.8/ft

It may not appear so on the surface, but there is a large supply chain, and other moving pieces that go into build these things. Also I don't currently buy any metal on-line. Could not even begin to imagine what the cost of shipping that kind of size and weight would be. Yikes!
All my metal is purchased locally, and I simply haul it as needed in my Chevy Avalanche. I would love to know how many thousands of pounds I have already hauled. Overall I do believe I am getting the best deal possible from my metal retailer.
But in the end, the cost increase only amounts to 5%, and most of it appears to be due to C19. But again, its not just limited to metal.
Sounds good. The 1.80 / ft included shipping to your door. FYI

Best part of that picture is the Green Bay packer logo/pillow on background.

Quoted from wrd1972_PinDoc:ROTISSERIE PRICE INCREASES COMING IN APRIL 2021
Metal stock prices have further increased in the last 6 months, and are showing no signs of decreasing. From what I have researched, it is due to supply/demand and the shipping companies dramatically raising rates for deliveries. In fact, compared to a year ago this time my metal cost has nearly doubled. And I don't know what it is about the 1" and 3/4" square tubing, but it has increased over 100%. Ouch!!!
https://www.national.biz/2021-steel-price-increases-affect-small-business/
So for the February and March builds, I am keeping prices the same. But in April, I must increase all of the prices to continue making this project worth my while.
So avoid the coming price increases, get your orders in this month or no later than next month (March).

What are you paying per foot delivered for 1” tubing?
