JUST IN TIME & just what I NEEDED! “THANK you, Fright Boys!” 😅👍

Perfect timing for this video. I was on my way to Harbor Freight when I saw this video pop up😁. Thanks a lot!

Always enjoy your how to vids mate, easy, practical and works. Thanks mate.

I got one and set it up today! Thanks for the tips!

See ya at expo! Great video

The intro to this video is EPIC! I'm probably going to do this MOD, thanks so much for this video bud!

Hey, Cary! Great mod! I'm having trouble finding T hinges that don't have offset holes AND have holes big enough for the M8 bolts (I can find one or the other but not both at the local Lowes). Can you give me the details on which hinges you used and where you got them?

Next video: How to fix Getaway. =)

Really useful video as always. I couldn't find the video on building the clear coating box mentioned at 13:15?

I wonder if a 45 degree bracket would work. But I guess the hinge makes it easy to store.

When I first saw this video I thought oh yeah he's another guy flapping his gums. But after watching the video I was like hot damn this is a great idea, and I ran out and bought one. With inflation I can see they raised their prices but this is still way better than going out there and finding big-time bucks on pinball lift, and you don't have to wait for it to be delivered in the mail to boost

A HF metric wrench set would be the bomb for this. Splurge for the $6.00 (know you have that )

Is it safe to use a lifting cart to lift the pinball machines from the side? I have a lifting cart with a platform that is 32” long so trying to see if I can get away with it without modding until I get more pins.

Good video. Just FYI, the current version of the HF Lift Cart doesn't have holes that go all the way through the handle bars. So I had to drill out new holes in order to get a bolt through that could be tightened with the nut and washers.

Also, I didn't have to adjust the cable on my cart at all. After installing the hinges, the cart still lowered as before. So that saves a step, so I'd recommend anyone try the mod without actually adjusting the cables first.

How much does your lifting cart weigh? can you lift if to go with the pinball machine once in the back of a truck or car easily?

So M8 1.25” for the bottom. What length bolts to attach the handle to the hinges?

2'' bolts would suffice

Simple rule for tools. If it has parts that move, spend a little extra for a good brand. If the parts don't move Harbor Freight all the way.

Adam Horton , good way to look at it. Personally, I go by”if your only going to use it three times harbor freight is ok.”

Curious. The lift table basically use the floor of the machine to bear all the weight. If there a concern of damaging the floor of the pinball machine?

I dont know the answer to this but I'm also concerned and plan to have some wood planks that run beyond the side of the table so it distributes the weight across and to the sides.

What are the dimensions of your trolley?

The bimini cap mod is a lot cleaner than the hinges IMO.

Without a doubt it is a very cleaner look, but functionally the same as the hinges . :)

@@CaryHardy For sure. The Harbor Freight lift is absolutely perfect for pinball.

Have you had issues with the cart not lowering? Have had it for a few months with no issues and now it won’t lower?

Can you manually lower it by pulling on the mech i specify in the video?

Skip to about 6:00 be all good.

Anyone else here because they saw Jack*Bot in the thumbnail?

GHETTO yet functional... So very "pinball". We will spend $300 on a set of plastics for some obscure pinball machine from the 80's. Yet the tools we want to use to fix them are probably made with radioactive metal that was scavenged from the reactor of a scrapped 1960's aircraft carrier.

Makes it easier to find when you drop them inside the cab. Just turn off the lights and look for the glowing tools.

You ramble a lot. Would be nice that you'd go STRAIGH TO THE POINT! Gosh
