This is my first time working on Fathom and I'm trying to figure out how to properly raise the playfield.
I'm rebuilding the flippers and want to orient the playfield so I have easy access to the underside.
The playfield has hooks that normally slide around a set of posts towards the rear of the cabinet.
I'm able to pull the playfield up and out to release the hooks, and then I can rest the hooks on a second set of pegs that are near the middle of the cabinet.
My hope was that this second set of posts would let me flip the playfield over and rest it on the backbox, but due to an interference with the brackets I can only flip it slightly past vertical and it doesn't feel particularly stable.
How am I supposed to do this?
I've attached some photos of the playfield resting on the posts near the middle of the cabinet and the gap between the playfield and the backbox.

Thanks for the advice. I thought I was doing something wrong but it sounds like Bally designed it this way..

Oh wow, I have not seen or tried this before. So you rotate it upside down by turning 180 degrees left or right and set it back down? I'll have to do a thorough survey of the playfield and make sure there isn't anything sticking up that would get knocked off but this seems like a nice approach.

I was able to find a replacement grommet for the pivot (Marco 545-5105-00) so that's fixed now.

I just played a few rounds of Eight Ball Deluxe last night, that is a very fun + addictive game!
