Evening all, I hope everyone is well.
So I have first pin (MET PRO) on its way a little over a week from now and would like some advice for a newbie owner like myself re; anything such as playfield protectors I should be buying and where to order from?
Pinball Bazzar is the only site I could find in thr u.k, but if anyone has any other sites to recommend I'd be grateful.
Protectors and maintenance:
To my knowledge I don't believe my pin has any protectors etc fitted and the machine will be my pride & joy, so want to look after it as much as I can; which items should I buy? (would be handy handy know how difficult anything it to fit before I order too)
Should I get plastic/playfield protectors/cliff's?; if so, which ones from where?
I see there is also a shooter lane protector and and extended Sparkey airball protector you can buy; are they worth it?
Which cleaning/protective products should I buy and how often to use?
Mods:
I'll prob want to buy the snake mod (the sticker kind of thing which extends the snake up and around thr right ramp) - does anyone know where I can get this from in the U.K?
Possibly interested in the snake mouth light mod - is this difficult to install?
I'll likely get the cemetery mod (although seems bloody expensive for what it is....); is it difficult to install? (As it has a light, I'm a bit worried about piping that into the wiring and ballsing something up)
Does anyone have experience with the Pinshield PF glass protectors for when the pin isn't being used?; this seems preferable to a dust cover for the whole machine.
Thanks in advance for the advice!

You are defo right about slowing down; wasn't planning on adding any mods fora while (if at all; already has some good mods; speaker lights, snake fangs etc), my priority was more should I be adding protectors etc to make sure I look after it. (Glad the pf protector isn't recommended; really don't want to be disassembling anything. Think the machine is one of the earlier models and the pf is I think in great condition ) - will look into plastic protectors though
Speaking of which, I was thinking of making a sign to put near the machine for when people are over "no food or drinks near machine!...", but I I that'd encourage people
