    I recently built a rotisserie for my playfeild. i have it setup with hooks to accept a stern style playfeild without any additional clamps on the back. My home-brew is in a stern cab that was warranty replaced.
    I recently was thinking what other playfeilds can i just drop in my cabinet for a retheme style custom game. I looked back and Stern/sega/de started with its current pivot style brackets with Hook in 1992. Holy crap that's a long run.

    looks like I'm slowly going to have to find other popular hangers used.

    might be useful to others for their home-brew, if its had a long run, why not be a good choice for home-brew.

    These are the pivots and cabinet hangers associated with the stern system. this is taken from pinball lifes website

    Funny timing, I was just thinking about this same thing for my homebrew, except I bought an early SS so all I have is the service bar to prop up the pf. I'm not even sure on the best options because my only home machine is a DESW and the service system sucks on it. Every time I lift the pf into place vertically, it drops into place. It may be just a misalignment in my cab or something, I haven't been able to really figure it out.

    Yep, that's the one. It was in pretty rough shape when I got it, so the problems may just be isolated to my machine. After it pivots up, there's a hook on a strap from the cabinet that holds onto an eye hook on the playfield to hold it in place. Not sure if that's how modern Sterns are, but I didn't think so. Any insight/suggestions would be appreciated
