Glass and playfield covers e.g. pinshield

[MattCarr]

Hi,

Where is the best place to get something like these foam glass protectors from in the UK.

Found these on pinball bazaar but they are on back order.

Good call! - I was also looking at ordering one of those from PBB, but as you say, on back order. Do you have a link to which yoga matt you used?; looks almost identical and I'd imagine costs less !

Sorry it was an old everlast one that's been on top of the wardrobe for years. Probably from Amazon or sports direct.

It's about 4mm thick but I think a 6mm one would work fine as well.

Themed beach towels. Just the right size, no scratches and takes 2 seconds to get off .....

Ordered some of these off amazon. Same thickness and only a tenner. 5 differant colours.
Cutting them to size will be easy enough.

Perfect, just don't do any yoga on them when they're on the machine.

I’ve got a few pin shields and those black or the grey yoga mats look perfect.
For a tenner I think I’ll try one out.

Nice find!; I'll be getting one of those I reckon

Get the Stern one (assuming it’s a Stern machine), it is really good quality and looks cool.

I bought pinshields lasted one day and the bloody cats used them as a scratch pad. Had to take them off...

Took 2 days to get here and 5 mins with a Stanley knife using some old playfield glass as my straight edge. Now to do the others. Same as the pinshield minus the logo. Extremely happy with it.

 

[Ant-H]

Looking good

Mine should being arrive today.

Where can you get the stern ones pal

 

[JAG555]

Phil got me two and then I got 2 from the US (I think it was Pinball Life).

Not cheap, but really happy with them.

Where did you get your hollow shaft nut drivers from, Pinball Heaven? They look longer than the ones I've looked at on Amazon.

They are the same ones.
I got the 7 piece magnetic set in 2018 off amazon and they were £44.
Just checked and now they are nearly double!!

I've joined the P̶i̶n̶S̶h̶i̶e̶l̶d̶ Yoga club . The 'pattern' on the material makes it easy to measure and keep a straight line when you are cutting it, plus there's about a third left which might come in handy for something else.

I might pop a logo on and flog them for £20 (did I say that out loud?).

Make sure they are neatly cut and sell them for
£10 Inc p+p for standing your pinball glass on

Cheers for the update, I'm going to grab some soon!

The off cuts are also ideal for resting the dmd display on as it spans the full width of the machine so no resting on the siderails.

Great Idea! I threw mine away though

Or get an image printed on a beach towel



I even sewed a magnet in to each of the top corners so they stick to the siderail at the top and it don't slide off, but now sold AIQ so likely to end up as a raffle prize at the next Swavesey get together.
