So you've bought a NIB pinball....

[Sutol]

Would you use cliffys or say mylar in the shooter lane on the new playfield. Maybe even get a playfield protector for it or just leave as is and play the hell out of it?
Obviously on site it would get a lot more usage than being in a home environment but even then would you still use the different products to protect say a 7k machine?

I fitted the cliffy shooter lane protector to my IMVE the day I unboxed it but that's the only thing I did as it came with ramp protectors and mylar over the magnets from the factory. I doubt any NIB game would get enough abuse in the home env to require a full playfield protector but it comes down to personal preference as I know people fit these as well. You're not going to hurt anything by adding these things, it's whether you want to spend the cash

Just play it

 

[Spadge]

I eventually add protectors

Possibly shooter lane and outhole protectors. Depends what game and when it was made. If it was a Ghostbusters I would wrap the playfield in bubble wrap.

I'm amazed you didn't strip it down first and give it a good clean up!
