Protect the flipper boards when lifting the playfield

The flipper boards sit on the cabinet wall under the playfield. On slide-rail games (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on) a raised playfield that tips off its rails falls onto them and often tears off the heat-sinked SR1/SR2 transistors. Keep the playfield straight on its rails and avoid using the prop rod.
