Be great to see the installation process or instructions.

No international shipping?

Great idea!

The next step will be one of these......

You can put your machines into a plastic bubble

This looks like a clear coated cab like woz..is this what is on the hobbit le upgraded decals?

Also what about the head?

Ouch @ price, but I understand why. /sadface.

Cool idea. Good luck with the endeavor!

On the Johnny Mnemonic, it looks as though the protector covers the lower button on the cabinet front. Is this the case for machines that have the second button there?

The price seems very fair, especially compared to other pinball mods. I'm sure you'll sell a lot. Even more if you could source clear material with UV Protection?

I have two games that were substantially scratched by my then 4 yr old son. I could see a use for these in the homes of collectors who enjoy letting their kids play etc. when kids have friends over, stuff happens. Thanks for offering this product.

I have a few games together, I would use something like this on the end game.

What's the reason for only going partway up on the front? Too many button/shooter combinations?

Sorry but 190 bucks for some plastics sheets seem a bit out of touch.

I like the idea of the product but also think that the price is pretty high for 3 clear plastic sheets. I'd buy a few sets if it we're say 100.

Brings back memories of visiting my grandparents when I was a kid ...

Is there a vid where you can show how to install, be cool to see a before and after

He's also saving the buyer the hassle of sourcing the right plastic in the right size, and cutting it to fit. $190 is a little high, but it's easier to bring a price down than up.

BUT...I would also add that the vast majority of damage I've inflicted on my games was when I moved them. What we really need are kevlar wraps, with velcro to secure them. I'd be in for a few of those.

You should have an option where people can give you custom measurements

Great

Nice, 25% price drop right off the bat.

And seriously, if you think 150 is too much for this, I challenge anyone to do better.

The playfield protectors that BAA sells are pretty much the same thing seems like, only sized and routed for a playfield, and they're 120 bucks.

yh but there is more cabinet then playfield

Right. That's my point. It's like 300% more material for a 20% price bump.

So I wonder if I could just buy one set and use the left side for my IM and the right side for my Avengers. Does the protector work with lollipop rails?

Don't you think we are getting a little out of control with trying to protect games that are meant to be played................Heck, why even take them out of the box???

Meant to be played and enjoyed. How do these protectors stop that? It's simply protecting your beautiful games and their great artwork on the outside.

Hmmmm... I only have one side of one game that's exposed so can I buy just one side.

I was on the same page as you when I initially read this post (see my first post with the plastic bubble) but seeing that these do provide UV protection I have changed my mind. For those of us that don't have their machines in a dark basement the UV protection would be nice to have to eliminate the cabinets from fading. The only other option is to buy covers for the machines which means they would be under constant cover.

The connection to slipcovers is still strong with this one.

Although, I do have a newborn who will be walking around soon enough...

I do...Its all gone way over the top. Way way over the top. I mean out of the ballpark-and-even-the whole-effin'-city-and-into-the-countryside-type over the top. After all it is just pinball...I let my kids play my games even if they just had sandwitches and stuff, what an inconsiderate b*stard I am...Greasy fingers, you know? Retail value of my games straight down the drain. Do I care...errrmmm...no I don't as long as they r having fun.

Great idea, fantastic product.

So then why all the butthurt on this thread? Sorry that you didn't find the way to profit over everyone else's vanity?

These are amusement devices, not museum pieces. Last thing I want to see is a game in essentially a giant cabinet condom!

But wouldn't it be great couple of months or years down the road you want to sell that now old game that has been brought up and down stairs, hauled to how many events and generally abused to pull off those protectors and look at the still pristine, like new side art and get more money for it because it's still looks just like it came from the factory. I think when it comes time to sell a game that has had the protectors on it would fetch a better price. Something to think about. Resale value adder in my book.

In a word, "No". I don't want to encase my game in plastic so that it looks good for the next guy to enjoy. I want to enjoy my game. I also could care less if the protectors make it fetch a better price. Who knows what pricing will be if or when I ever sell a game? And, unless you literally treat your games like crap, damage to the cabs is relatively uncommon.

Yes, a pin can get moved to go to show, etc., but since I appreciate my games I also make sure they are wrapped properly (card board all around, legs detached, shrinkwrapped) so damage doesn't occur.

Again, to me this just puts us further from the point of pinballs....to be played and enjoyed. Not to be primped and encased put in plastic.

Ok. You won't be buying them then.

assuming there is no long term interaction between the overlay and the screen printing. Might not be an issue but where is the research to guarantee it?
caveat emptor.

Wow, I'm surprised at the number of detractors on this thread. As mods go, this one is pretty harmless and totally reversible. You don't play the cabinet, so are you really going to be upset when you play a friend's game with cab protectors? Would you walk past a new location pin if it had these? It's a non-issue to me. Poorly chosen LEDs and other "enhancements" are a bigger problem, if you want the game to look factory.

I think the front piece should cover the whole thing not 3/4.if it's going to stop cab fade I might buy a couple. joe
