    I figured its time to do the swap on my High Speed. I've been meaning to build a rotisserie for while but never got around to it. There are lots of good ideas on here on how to build one so with a few ideas of my own I came up with this. Everything came from Princess Auto and it cost me so far(of course I plan on pimpin it out)about 75 CAD. I used a 3/4 chained hitch pin http://www.princessauto.com/en/detail/5-8-x-4-1-2-in-hitch-pin/A-p8051234e with a 3/4 steady bearing http://www.princessauto.com/en/detail/3-4-in-steady-bearing/A-p8180978e. The bearing allows for smooth movement. I found some rectangular security bars in my garage which I used for securing the playfield. I have about 2 hours work into it so far.

    Like that bearing...but what are you going to do with different length playfields....some are 46", some, like yours there prob are 42"...
    Modern pfs are longer than what you are working with there....

    How will you lock it in position?

    I currently have 3 playfields to swap. 1 HS and 2 FT. I think they are both the same length. I wanted something that was quick and easy to make that wasn't made out of steel pipe and c-clamps. It took me no time to make it so I can easily modify to accommodate a larger playfield should the need arise or slap together another one.

    I'm working on that next.

    Keep at it. Once you get them how you like they're great tools.

    I really like your setup. The pipe ones are fine and work great but like your design.

    I used 2 thumb turn screen door locks. I added one to the other end opposite side. Works awesome!
