Quoted from wilsonza:

The pop bumpers slowed me down due to the soldering. It's not a big deal to solder at a table but I haven't mastered soldering inside of a pinball machine. I need a third hand.
.

I had the same problem when restoring my JD, I ended up cutting a 2x6 piece of wood just wider than the machine and using big plastic clamps to stop it from sliding down the side rails, and used the wood as a table of sorts. It made soldering with the playfield straight up much easier. Still could have used a third hand though. Flux will be your best friend. It helps bind everything so much better.
