    Quoted from KozMckPinball:

    For experienced users of a roto: Is a floor stand or table top better? Ergonomics, slip etc.

    It's all about your working space. Not everyone has that much free table space to work with to put one or two PFs out... and then still have space for all their stuff.

    I liked the rolling rack for that reason.. I could move around it easy enough and move it out of the way when needed.

    Being able to work on a PF from either side is a big bonus too.

    Quoted from knockerlover:

    I would personally be more interested in a free standing unit with a tubular frame construction such as this, adjustable height if possible. I find tables to be too low to work from even with this slightly added height.
    Also I find that I’m constantly rotating between top/bottom during swaps. Because of this the life of my thumbscrew or bolt locks are about 2 playfields. I saw at the stern factory they use a large cog on the end with a locking mechanism.. like in this video.

    I think the most interesting thing in that video is that you note they hold the PF from the sides (to avoid the backboard). Not applicable to a cheaper design like this.. but the boxframe has a good purpose!

    Or maybe grind flat spots on the pipe at key angles so a flat bottom screw can get some set-screw action.... or go for the drill and pin method.

    Quoted from KozMckPinball:

    Probably how it was/is done in the pinball factory, with clamps? Anybody have suggestions on clamping without cracking clear? Is it a concern at all? Thanks!

    You treat it like clamping any other wood. Use something to give you a wide contact area to prevent dimping the surface. Use small blocks of wood under your clamp.. or stick to larger headed covered clamps.
