So I recently bought a super soccer pin by Gottlieb and was wondering if I should seal the backglass.
It has a backglass animation that might wear the ink away.
It shoots balls up the ramp then shoots them back under

Would first make sure there are no #44 bulbs in the head. #47's burn cooler. From a sealing standpoint, it's a personal decision. I typically don't unless I see something making me believe it is starting to lift.

I owned this machine sometime ago, my only add is that any animated backglass, has the risk of the animation causing damage and sealing does protect it.

There are probably backglass experts on this site that have more experienced advice.

If it has not started peeling or cracking after all these years, I'd probably leave it alone.
