I am in the process of designing a playfield rotisserie that, due to repurposed hardware limitations, will accommodate a 10" playfield length range. In other words, the design could accommodate playfields between 35" to 45" or 40" to 50" or 37.4" to 47.4" etc. Any 10 inch range will be possible, however once I mount the hardware I will be locked into that range. My question to the community is what 10" range will provide the greatest flexibility so as to accommodate the widest range of playfields?

Any thoughts or ideas are appreciated!

According to this list 40”x50” seems like the answer. It would allow you to do anything but data east widebody games. JJP and Spooky aren’t on the list FYI

Quoted from chubtoad13:

Excellent reference and information, this is just what I was looking for. Once I get everything together, I'll post a thread showing the build and where to get the parts. I believe this will be one of the cheapest, most flexible, and best looking rotisserie solutions currently available.

Doesn't vid1900 rotisserie guide address this? or did I mis-read something months ago? definitely a strong possibility
