Stern playfield backside edge handle used to lift the back of the playfield when sliding it into the cabinet.
See secondary picture for clarification.
In early 2018, Stern started installing this handle on the backside edge of every playfield, making it much easier to slide the playfield into the cabinet.
This handle can be retrofitted onto any Stern pinball machine playfield manufactured before 2018, eliminating the frustrating task of sliding the playfield into the cabinet.
