I know people have tried to make / or did make a nice pinball cover but my wife is going to try to make one for one of mine tomorrow. She went out and bought the material for it. It will be a black out cover with a soft lining on the inside so it won't scratch anything. Then I'm going to have her embroider the game logo on the top front. I will post pics as she gets going with it. Fingers crossed that it turns out perfect. I'm going to have her start with my addams family or elvira party with the monsters. She has to look and see what copyright she can buy first. Will post soon

I dont cover mine but if I did I'd probably just use a bed sheet. Why cover them? Seems a little extreme to me.

That's your opinion! I don't want people to walk in my house and I have bed sheets laying all over! But that's just me!

I had white bed sheets first, my game room looked like a morgue...

For a time I used a bunch of flat blackout curtains I bought for $15 each that draped over the games just like the images above... just didn't cover the coin door. They stayed on without magnets partially due to their weight and rigidity. They actually looked really good.

You know you don't need a copyright if it's for personal use right? Unless you're planning to sell commercially don't bother whatsoever.

Thanks for the heads up about copy rights! She didn't make much progress yet but I will have her back on it today. So far only $9.00 of material and the uvrays won't hurt it!
