I'm planning out a custom multi-pin where I have multiple playfields I swap out. From what I've read modern playfields are all 20.25" wide and 42"-46"long. So it seems like any standard playfield would theoretically fit in any cabinet, as long as there's enough vertical clearance and I swap out the playfield hangers with the correct ones for that cabinet.

One thing I noticed in my collection is that my WPC & Stern machines have a lower shooter rod vs my System 11, which has me thinking that I need to look at WPC or Data East DMD cabinets or newer. For a donor game South Park and LW3 are on my short list. Assuming I can convert the gun on a LW3 cab over to a shooter rod, does this all sound reasonable?
