Removing a playfield

[Cryptkeeper]

Am i right in saying its just a case of putting the PF up right and lifting straight out?
with all connectors removed of course

I just turn the machine upside down and shake it.

pretty much. Worth having another person nearby as they're f'ing heavy & awkward!

Balls out, naturally.

newer Sterns lift straight out, B/W have those catches. No idea about EM's.

Depending on what you're doing with it you don't even need to undo the connectors. I took my TAF pf out to put side decals on and just leaned it against the side of the cabinet, there's enough slack in the cables

I'm impatient so I just smash it first.

Carrying the cabinet down a set of stairs with a turn

Carrying the cabinet down a set of stairs with a turn

When i took mine up the stairs i took the time to label the connectors in the backbox then drop em all into the coffin, then removed the head, glass, BALLS and playfield. Overkill maybe but allowed me to reloom the head and have a good look at the boards while they were clear.It also stops you scratching the wall on the way down or ending up with a hernia and having to tuck your balls into your socks !
So I took mine up in 3
(Its the magic number)
