Im thinking of getting them but concerned about the scratch factor. I don't needlessly pop my playfield up, but there usually seems to be a reason to get in there monthly.
Have you scratched yours? If your careful will you be fine?
All pin side clearance is different even within the same game title. Some of mine have minor scratches, others don't. Even with, very hard to see unless you're looking for them!
No scratches on mine - once they are on you become more careful for sure when raising / lowering the pf.
Don't they come with felt strips for the side of the playfield now?
Shouldn't be any scratches with those on.
Scratches aren't the real problem I have, it the ball pings. My LOTR blades are riddled with them. I have a new gold set for when I finally decide the current ones are beat up enough to swap out.
I tried the felt. Some of it stayed on, but on the games where it came off it was a real mess to wipe off all the smeared glue. I did find out one thing though....if you use the felt it has to be one continuous strip or it will tear off at wherever the ends are.
