Playfield Rotisserie wanted

Hey guys, I’m starting a Addams gold rebuild soon and looking for a rotisserie to make life abit easier. Anyone got one they no longer want?

I just did my first playfield swap. You can build your own very cheaply. Credit goes to KJS who came up with the basic idea. I just added the bike repair clamps.

Go to Bunnings any get the Ozito miter saw stand for $59.

https://www.bunnings.com.au/ozito-mitre-saw-stand_p6290176

Then get 2 X 1 m X 25 cm X 25 cm square steel posts.

You also need two of these quick release bike clamps. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com.au%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F162192125382

If you want to save money just use some brackets instead of the bike clamps but I think the bike clamps are a must item. Drill a couple of holes and get some bolts and you are done.

Here is how it looks assembled.

I added a sheet of old plywood as a table.

Cheap and very practical.

Another shout out to KJS as l also used the ozito miter saw stands.

Not sure if they changed but it's 30mm x 30mm for the uprights now 😉.

Welded nuts and bolts and cut some bolt handles out of a piece of angle.

Just used cold gal in a can and added some plastic caps on the ends.

Worked so well l made 2.

I didn't use fancy bike clamps, the Ozito saw stand (though I kind of wish I had - it looks good). I made two of these:

 

The uprights are:

Saw horses: https://www.bunnings.com.au/craftright-folding-metal-leg-saw-horse_p5710162

2x 20mm flange https://www.bunnings.com.au/kinetic-20mm-galvanised-flange_p4700443

2x 20mm uprights in your choice of length - I used 300mm https://www.bunnings.com.au/kinetic-20-x-300mm-galvanised-pipe_p4700264

2x 20mm female tee https://www.bunnings.com.au/kinetic-20mm-female-galvanised-tee_p4700089

2x Eye bolts https://www.bunnings.com.au/zenith-7-8-x-82-x-19mm-galvanised-eye-bolt_p4220692?ReturnUrl=%2fwish-lists%2fdetail

 

The rotating bit is:

2x 15mm flange https://www.bunnings.com.au/kinetic-15mm-galvanised-flange_p4700442

2x 15mm 100mm pipe (should fit through the tee) https://www.bunnings.com.au/kinetic-15-x-100mm-galvanised-pipe_p4700245

2x 15mm end cap https://www.bunnings.com.au/kinetic-15mm-galvanised-round-end-cap_p4700104

The arms that hold the playfield: https://www.bunnings.com.au/carinya-40-x-20-x-600-x-1mm-angle-bracket_p3975785 - I used tin snips to take off one segment so the the arms are equal lengths from centre.

2x 2x150mm clamps https://www.bunnings.com.au/irwin-150mm-2-piece-quick-grip-mini-clamp-set_p5861495

 

There's a pair of bolts each end holding the angle bracket to the galvanised flanges and few screws through the bottom flanges into the saw horse. Most of it is only hand tight and comes apart for storage. The only slightly odd tool I needed was a tap to thread the holes the locking bolts wind in to, but I had an imperial tap and die set from fixing stuff on pinball machines already. The whole thing comes apart an folds flat for storage.

That looks good too. The bicycle clamps are actually $3 cheaper than your home made set up.

Possibly. I already had the irwin clamps and sawhorses though so I only really bought the gal pipe stuff for it.

So to make your own is about $170-200. If you got an actual playfield rotisserie - how much are you looking?

Around $200

 

Where do you get a fully made ready to use one for $200?

I’ll have to add the bits up but I think I spent around 160

Pinball spare parts were selling them for around that price a while ago.

gamemasters make them https://www.gamemasters.com.au/about/pinball-trolley/

 

One on the left. Ozito bench modded.

Was about 90 bucks all up.

Thanks Doug.

Been trying to think of their name all day:)

I bought the Gamemasters rotisserie , works fine, good quality. They are in preston Ph 9484 2229

I bought the game master rotisserie a year or so ago missing some parts said will post out, did not receive parts. Then could not get back in contact with them not overly happy with it

I hope this works!! Here are a couple of my rotisseries i built from scratch, using mostly angle iron and stuff i had laying around.
