Quoted from vid1900:

You still have to gap all your switches, adjust the pop's switches, do your flipper alignments, aim your kickouts.....a ton of time saved with a rotisserie, even after the playfield is populated.
Do NOT start without building one.

Three swaps in... no rotties here.

By FAR the most difficult one was Jackbot, where I dumped the harness in the cabinet with everything attached. Getting things pulled back up onto the playfield to where the harnesses were adequately supported with all that weight of the mechs and lamps and crap was a nightmare. Had I not been working solo it would have taken me half the time, just to have someone hold up the two flipper plates high enough to let me screw them in first. ugh!

*EdiT* I still don't get how you aim kickouts without changing where the screw holes are.

Shuttle and Crescendo? No rotisserie needed or wanted. Was super easy to use flat surfaces to mount the stuff on the back, then put them in the cabinet and do the rest there.

I will NOT do another DMD swap with the harnesses left in the cabinet connected. Period. I don't give a flying crap if I have a rotisserie or not. It didn't take any longer to gap switches or adjust pop bumper bodies or any of that....there wasn't anything damaged because it was in the bottom of the cab...it was just simply a pain the rear to lift and support everything. BLEH!!!!
