what would be the best way to protect playfield on one such as a flash pinball that is 40 years old.?
it does not have mylar on it so i was wondering if clear was needed or just wax often to protect it.
what kind of wax or clear would be best .?

i may get the Playfield Protector later on , but for now i will wax and change the ball often.
here is a picture of the playfield . I am working on changing the plastics and adding in led bulbs soon.
playfield seems to be fine except for the some white lines arounds the inserts.
are the inserts hard to change?

the inserts do look warped after getting a better look at them.
i do want to change these out if its not too hard to do.

i took them them out and sanded them and inserted them back in . Seems like they look better . Seems like the inserts were loose due to the old glue drying up . what's some stuff that would glue them where they don't come out easy.

i will get the rest of the inserts cleaned soon , the others don't look as bad but still could be sanded a bit to to look better..
the next thing i am about to do is the the apron which has a lot of wear on it. i am waiting on a decal for it to come and i was wondering if i should sand and repaint the apron with a gloss black before putting on the decal.
