    Okay guys I need your advice! I'm brand new to pin restoration, and am fixing to do my first fully shopped pin (Stern Lightning). I have VERY limited space, so here is what I'm asking for:

    1) The best FOLDABLE or storable rotisserie plans that you've seen. I need it to store next to wall and still be stable, so I'm looking for the smallest "foot print" (floor space) I can find.
    2) I would like to add 2 adjustable arms to the rotisserie that can pivot over the play field, which will hold a small tray in each arm. I want to put small bolts, washers, parts in these 2 trays/tables. Plus these 2 arms can not add any more distance to the rotisserie either. I will barely have enough room to set up the rotisserie, so I can't add any additional length to the working area.
    3) Are there any posts that I missed that has step-by-step video, PDF, or pics? yea, yea, yea, The one post that had PDF files is a "dead link." I know it's really easy blah, blah, blah. But everyone on here probably has 100's of hours restoring pins and building stuff, but I'm that newbie that barely knows how to "scratch my butt" right now. I'm looking for the most thorough easy to understand instructions to make this project fun and not a "pain in the butt."

    I saw the one post that added bins on each side but this takes up too much room. I only have room to work on restoring one pin at a time in my 12' X12' room, which already houses 3 pins, and one full size Sega Outrun 2.

    Quoted from vid1900:

    This one instantly slides apart and lays 2" flat against the wall:

    Take an articulating arm off of an old computer monitor. Add any tool trays you like!

    Yes I've seen one in action, but I should have mentioned that when there is a play field in the rotisserie that I wanted it to take up as little room as possible. I was thinking then that maybe I could make the legs swivel so when there is a play field in it, then I could push it against the wall, and only have the les that are away from the wall angled outward. The legs against the wall would be swiveled to be flat against the wall.
