Quoted from teksavy:Hi There:
Just picked up a Dr. Dude. It was an all time favorite machine of mine from my college days.
Anyway, the one I picked up was in ok shape, but the playfield had the usual wear in the ball drop area. I was going to fix it and decal it, but found a NOS playfield on ebay and decided to pick it up.
My question for you is which playfield protector should I use to keep the new playfield in perfect shape?
I found this PET-G one on ebay in Germany, but I'm not clear how the thickness will be an issue?

Do I even need to worry about a playfield protect for a HUO machine? Just put mylar in the high wear areas and be done?
Any advise is appreciated.
Thanks,
Ed
For what it’s worth, I installed one of those German pf protectors in my Paragon and I have no regrets. Installation is a snap - just need to remove flippers, gates, pb caps, etc and it lays right down. It might be a little more involved on a DD but there is no adhesive so it is easily removed. At worst you’d be out a couple hundred bucks and stuck with a big cut sheet of plastic.
