    Quoted from KenLayton:

    That's got to be the world's heaviest playfield ever made.

    Wishful thinking, but maybe with these fully featured, super heavy playfields, it's time we see gas springs to support the playfield when working underneath. Like the kind used in tailgates.

    Quoted from spazzman90:

    Any use of a prop rod on anything made in the last 25 years is potentially dangerous to you or the machine and unneeded.

    I don't know, man... For me, when I'm rebuilding flippers, neither of those two positions work for me. If the game is propped up, I need a step ladder to reach the mechs. Pulled forward, and I can't reach the bottom of the mechs either. They're too low. It's not just about rebuilding flippers though. It's just general bulb replacing and other menial tasks. Prop rods make everything easier.
