The another good idea associated with this product is rain proof. I will be moving a pin from Arkansas up to St. Louis in the open bed of my pickup. The owner happens to own a pinball armor cover and as such will not have to be concerned with rain or snow or wind during transport. Using a tarp tends to have wind beating the tarp against the pinball machine where as the pinball armor is heavy and will not be flapping in the wind.

You don't need to have a high end pin to invest $200/$250 in protection for your machine. You easily spend that in new plastics, flipper rebuild kits, new translite, side mirrors, an LED kit, etc. in fixing up just about any interesting pin. Of course you might have to draw a line in where you stop spending -- but the pinball armor fits more than one game in a line up.
