    Quoted from pindude80:

    I am going to pick up one of these lifts but have a question. When doing the bimini caps do you tighten the bolts for whatever angle you want the handle at or does the handle just "free float" when you are using it?

    I think you are supposed to be able to tighten the bolts and have it stay in whatever position it's in, but in my case, the handle just swings freely. Maybe I did something wrong... but it works OK for me in this configuration so I haven't really tried to change it.

    Quoted from Pin_Fandango:

    were the 2 x 4 extending out were you can see them from above or simply lifting from the bottom panel, in other words, were the 2x4 just touching the bottom panel and not the sides? just wondering how strong the bottom panel is and if it can take that kind of pressure (I have seen it in older games works fine, just not sure about new ones)

    I have moved probably 6 modern Stern games with this lift table using only the bottom panel, and have never had an issue.

    Quoted from PghPinballRescue:

    FYI: There is a safety latch on this table that is usable when the table is in the full upright position.
    I accidentally tripped it when I was moving a pin and I couldn't figure out why it wouldn't lower.

    Been there, done that! It's not that hard to accidentally engage it, either... as I found out the hard way!
