Quoted from EBD_Newbie:

OK, so I found a NOS 1981 EBD playfield which I did end up purchasing. I will likely hang onto this until I have the machine working 100% then look to swap the playfield out for that extra wow factor.
For a game with limited household use, is it recommended to apply protective film on the playfield, or leave it natural? My only analogy is car films, which I liked for years but later learned they can sometimes do as much damage as they are trying to protect.
If a film is suggested, is there a specific product that works well without damaging the original play surface underneath?
If no film is suggested, any experience on how much gameplay is required to start to see some wear?
Thanks!
Brian

Brian, the best way to protect an original NOS is going to be clear coating it. Iā€™d reach out to kruzman to get it bulletproofed.
