I have a gamatron and would like to add toys but don't have the room. Have any of you lowered the sitting position of a playfield?
Any pix? Special considerations?

Lots of opinions here! And some valuable advice too. In considering this idea, I have come up with a few requirements.

1. Completely reversible, damage-free mods to the rare playfield.

2. It's a trashed out cabinet. I rather mod the crap out of it than the game playfield, backglass etc.

3. Avoid cheesiness, make it better.

4. It's my game I'll do what I feel is right.

I'm liking the added height versus moving the playfield down.

Quoted from kursiv:

Gamatron was a conversion kit for Bally/Stern ss games, right?
Instead of lowering the playfield in the cabinet you have, get a Bally cabinet that had the playfield sitting lower from the start – like Xenon, Medusa, Flash Gordon, Vector etc.

If I could find a cab worthy of this endeavor that wouldn't be a crime to trash ......
