    Quoted from dgpinball:

    but in most cases I'm not a fan of putting on a game until they show some wear.

    My feelings as well.

    I have none on Woz, not needed for me.

    My Lotr Le looks like it did the day it came out of the box with about 2k plays later. I have them for that game and will use them at some point.

    As for the shooter lane, I always just use "self adhesive laminating strips" that you can get from Office Depot. Works great.

    My SM magnet shows zero wear while the shooter lane does from the previous owner. I'd use mylar for the magnet area.

    I may be overly worried about scoop protectors and the ball banging those, getting nicked up, and causing more damage to the play field. Shooter lane more important for protection right away imo.

    If I was buying an older title and I saw Cliffy's installed I'd still want to know whether or not it was "HUO" and "low plays" or not. In most areas I think mylar/self laminating strips can do the job, imho and no offense to Cliffy and those that love using them.

    Change and check your balls frequently as well. That will prevent more damage than anything.

    I've got a few layers of self laminated strips on all of my pin shooter lanes, works great and you don't see the "granny vinyl Cliffy covers" on your new couch.

    I like to see "wood", not metal.

    At the end of the day, if you play living crap out of it, which should be the objective, swap out the play field with a brand new one down the road, problem solved!
