Can't wait until someone invents a machine to turn your game on and off

If you have chronic back problems I could see the appeal... Otherwise, it's not that hard to lift a playfield out with your hands.

That looks like a really bad idea-it's supporting the playfield at one point near the back. Basic physics says that the torque on that point could get pretty severe, and I can see a case where this warps, or worse, snaps a playfield under the strain. If it took some of the weight lower down (like at the support rails) it would make more sense, but as-is, it looks really risky.

neat concept , just don't see this getting marketed for a reasonable price .

That is hilarious! Talk about over-complication of a simple solution.

The guy bought that lift for $200 from an estate sale apparently.
