Getting a BM66 and a Munsters. I see these protectors are reasonable price wise and advertised as easy to apply and easy to take off.

If you do take them off I assume the playfield will not be damaged during that process?

Given the dimpling issues it seems like an easy decision to just do it and eliminate the dimples.

Any experiences with these and details would be appreciated.

Thanks for all the various comments and experiences.

My main reason for considering this is for new Stern games to prevent playfield damage from day one. I would not put on an older B/W machine as I have not ever had one that had any damage/dimples/craters.

My TWD looked not so good after ~100 plays and want to prevent that from happening on any new games.

Sounds like about 50/50 as far as any negative effects.

Getting BM66. Anyone installed one on a BM66? Installation easy? Which supplier did you use (not sure if there are multiple ones)?

Well.....I bought one for my BM66 that I should be receiving this month. I will post my impressions once I get that sucker installed and play a few games. Thanks for the spirited discussions and points and counter points. Worst case I lose a little over a hundred bucks

Put a protector on my BM66 and looks great and I can't tell any gameplay differences. Not a bad install either. I will do this again for any NIB Sterns that I buy.

I only see them when the game is off (BM66). They are not noticeable when the playfield lights are on at all on my machine. So no big deal to me.
