Hey all,

I recently picked up a DE Batman that has the general wear this game is known for, but thankfully in not TERRIBLE shape.

That being said -- some of the roll over switches and things are showing wear, as is around the batcave, I was wondering if I might pick your collective brains regarding these worn-down areas.

For the roll over switches -- I was thinking putting in a bunch of the Cliffy switch slot protectors -- I know those are generally for the ramp-ball-drop-switches, but I thought it might take some of the wear off that general area - thoughts?

For the joker face crack -- I thought maybe a mylar strip of some kind to prevent it from cracking further?

Should I think about mylar over all the worn areas?

Considering how this game is known to wear out -- Would you guys ever install a playfield protector (regardless of damage) to just 'seal in' whatever damage there currently is just so it doesn't further escalate?

I would love to touch up/restore the game but I won't be able to do that for some time, so I thought maybe an interim playfield protector might be a good solution.

On top of all of that -- if anyone has any recommendations to safe guard this against further playfield deterioration, any and all advice is welcome -- thanks all!

Johnny

Given the way the skill shoot works, the roll over protectors make a lot of sense.

As for the crack in the joker face, I would put Mylar over it on both sides of the ramp. I have a crack in the corner of mine that is protected that way.

There is a gentleman who is reprinting playfields for DE Batman, and obviously he has a playfield scan. I believe it is user 85vett.
