I've been trying to think of an easier way to remove playfields from cabinets by myself. If I dismantle most of the topside, I can usually do it, but it's awkward. Same thing with dropping them back into the cab myself. If it's fully populated, I have a difficult time. I saw this shop crane in the HF ads. Anyone think this could work? The specs say the height adjusts close to eight feet. Thoughts?
Quoted from winteriscoming:I'm plannng to put the game on my lift cart, remove legs and lower it for hopefully easier pf removal and installation. I figure having it a little lower would help.
If I have the head off, I'll take off the back legs to lower the cab at an angle, and then I can stand behind the cab to make it easier. A fully populated playfield is still heavy and awkward, even with the cab lower, so I was hoping this shop crane would make it easier. I also rarely have the head off when I'm removing or replacing the pf. If I get a nice gift card for Christmas, I might give it a try.
