With all this time on my hands I have been cutting, welding and designing.
The main drive behind this rotisserie innovation is I despise using C-Clamps on a rotisserie to hold the playfield. They get in the way of the rotisserie frame if they are not flush, they snag on everything, and they will leave marks on your new playfield if they are not protected with some type of pad. The footprint on a C-clamp is just too small. Plus now my C-clamps are all used up on my rotisserie and can't use the for something else. I also wanted something integrated and dedicated to my rotisserie.
So I decided to make a better clamp system. I think I hit the nail on the head here. This is just the one side. I may do one with one longer piece for the back of the playfield. The only problem I can see with a longer piece is it will possibly interfere with mechanics on the playfield. That is why I made these fairly small.
I also will be adding some type of material to the clamp so it will not scratch the playfield once I paint or powder coat them.
Any thoughts/input on these? Actually I am a bit surprised with the talent on this forum that something like this has not been done before. Or maybe it has I have just not seen it.
All these parts are from my local Ace Hardware. HD also has all this stuff as well.
