^^^ THIS ^^^!

This could be a very lucrative new market for you and really help out a lot of older games. Even if you had to print the playfield graphics on one sheet and secure the protector layer on top (sealed somehow to protect for dirt collecting, etc.) it would be fanstastic!

Levi, do you have any actual hands-on experience with the latest generation of these protectors that you are basing your opinions on? Or just theorizing that they might make a game play poorly and might cause some kind of strange wear to the playfield, though nobody here has reported that yet?

I would generally agree that they shouldn't be necessary on a new or refinished playfield with clearcoat. However, I have also heard reports that they prevent dimpling on new playfields, and with all the problems with new Stern playfields chipping and ghosting prematurely, I can see why it might be considered a good idea to protect even a new playfield with one of these.

In any case, I have played older SS games with these installed and it was a vast improvement in both play and appearance.

I'd be thankful the protector took that damage and not the playfield.

I wonder what the balls look like on that game, pretty nasty I'm guessing.
