Playfield Rotisserie loan


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

On the hunt for a generous AA member who can spare their rotisserie for a month or so. I was considering making one but have moved away from my home and no longer have access to the tools making the process difficult.

 

I’m in the midst of restoring a pinny and am at a stage where accessing top and bottom consistently has ground me to a halt.

 

Please pm me if you can help, or if you have a design for a simply made rotisserie not requiring significant tools to make I’d be interested to see them.

 

Thanks,

Flynny

I made a rotisserie from stuff I found at Bunnings:

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

 

The pipe fittings: https://www.bunnings.com.au/our-range/bathroom-plumbing/plumbing/pipe-fittings/galvanised-pipe-fittings

 

The uprights are:

2x 20mm flange

2x 20mm uprights in your choice of length - I used 300mm

2x 20mm female tee

 

The rotation bit is:

2x 15mm flange

2x 15mm 100mm pipe (should fit through the tee)

2x 15mm end cap

 

I used wing screws for the rotation locks. I used M6, but M8 might be better: https://www.bunnings.com.au/zenith-m8-x-25mm-zinc-plated-wing-screw-6-pack_p2420950

 

The arms that hold the playfield: https://www.bunnings.com.au/carinya-40-x-20-x-600-x-1mm-angle-bracket_p3975785

 

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 and I had a tap handle already.

 

Metric tap: https://www.bunnings.com.au/frost-3-piece-m5-m6-m8-metric-tap-set_p6320122

 

Otherwise I used a drill, measuring tape and a couple of spanners. I would've preferred if I could've found some imperial wing screws or something as I already have an imperial tap and die set.

 

I'm tempted to bolt the flanges to the sawhorses with wing nuts so I could reuse the sawhorses if I need to.

Looks a super simple design. Thanks for the pics and method. I do have some saw horses which could be donors for a rotisserie. Definitely no taps handy though. I’m sure there’s an alternative without the need to screw and tap.

You're welcome. I've updated my post with a few details, but I can't take credit for the design, there's a huge thread of this stuff on pinside (https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/vids-quick-and-dirty-rotisserie-guide) that I read through before I made this up.

 

There probably is a number of different solutions to the rotation locking, but the taps were only $5. Originally I used a standard bolt, but needing a spanner every time I wanted to turn it was crap. The wing screws are also a but crap, but better. Perhaps an eye bolt will work better for me: https://www.bunnings.com.au/pinnacle-35-x-55-x-8mm-m8-zinc-plated-eye-bolt_p3961212

Drill a slightly oversize hole and weld nut on.

I replaced my tiny wing screws with much larger eye bolts yesterday and it works much better.

 

While I was doing it I did have a thought that if you didn't mind only having a limited number of positions, it'd be possible to just drill all the way through the Ts and then drill through the 20x100mm gal pipe a few times. When the holes align, slide a slightly thinner bolt through to lock it and stop the rotation. Wouldn't need any extra tools, but it might be fiddly to get the alignment right though?
