Quoted from Crispin:Scwartz just found out best of pinball finally made a playfield protector for Paragon! Now I can cover up all those cupped inserts!

When I first saw those overlays, I was very sceptical indeed. Seemed like a stupid idea.
But when I went to Germany last year, I went to a guys home arcade (with 300 pins!!) where almost all the older games had these overlays fitted. I believe they used his games to design the overlays.
All I can say is ... Wow. They look like glass when they're installed.
Play wise, they play like magic. I can really see the benefits for the older games with damaged inserts etc.
119 euros seems expensive, but I guess it's a lot cheaper than having your PF professionally restored and cleared.
PS I'm a member of the Paragon club too, as of last week. Whooop whooop!
