Quoted from kpninja12:I hope to build a lift mechanism...
Is that lift mechanism something you’re designing or already available? Details please. Those late model classic Stern wide body playfields are a beast to lift. On my Cheetah the side supports are feeling the pain and need repair.
Thanks for pulling those threads together. Really like the wedge idea to help get the playfield down and then back up on the metal support https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/tilting-playfield-against-backbox-on-flight-2000#post-1601423
Looks like the wedge may also help to take stress off the wood rail. I need to glue and re-nail the wood rail because it let go and the playfield almost fell. Only thing that stopped it from falling fast was it got jammed against the cabinet wall.
