I found a cheap third hand that is useful for working under playfield
work. Most closets have the type of pants hangars that have two spring
clamps on a rod. These spring clamps slide back and forth along the
rod and can be rotated around it. If you remove the rod and clamp
assembly from the hangar it makes a simple clamp for use under the
playfield. One clamp will hold the rod in place while the other clamp
can be extended along the rod and rotated into different positions
while holding stuff. I've used it a couple of times to hold new
microswitches in place while soldering wires to them. Cheap and easy.
