Cliffy protectors are awesome!
« on: May 05, 2009, 02:07:44 AM »
Cliffy protectors are awesome.
I'm always buying gear from one supplier or another and I've seen these things around.
I thought since my World Cup Soccer had some pretty bad wear I would get a set plus another for a friend and try it out.
So I send the guy an email to enquire about them and he sends me an email right back, it must have been 1am or something over there.
Anyway Cliffy offers the two sets to me cheaper than he has advertised on his site even with the postage included! Cool as.
The Cliffy's arrived quite quickly too, so he must have posted them straight away. Nice.
I take them out of the bag to check them out and I have to say I'm impressed.
They have a very slight curve in them angled to the playfield, the holes line up perfectly and there's even a bit of sticky stuff on the under side to keep them down.
Very professional product.
I did think they were a little rich at first but after actually seeing the product and installing them, it was worth it.

Now pulling apart a playfield to install these things was a little daunting as I've never done this sort of thing before.
But once I got into it, all was good and the playfield looks ten times better. You hardly even notice them.

Just wanted to share a good experience. ^^^ Don't seem to get too many, except from the same people (Cough markc cough) %$%

I have a set up of thin cliffys on my Jurassic Park.

They look GREAT - it is as if the machine came out of the factory with them !

Soon mate. We're just sorting out when everyone will be in town.
I'm sure Chris will let you know as soon as a date is set. #*#

That was my thought exactly Strangeways.

I like to hear about the good pinball stories. You always hear the horror ones.
It's just good to know that guys like Cliffy, markc, Greg at RTBB, Terry from Pinball Life and Joe tripoli, here in Perth, are around.
I'm sure there are a few more but these are the guys I've had the most positive experiences with.

I concur wholeheartedly with Elkhorn Relish (Mark)
He got me a Cliffy protector and blue rubber sleeves with his order. My clitty protector is for the Spider Hole on SS - it is perfectly made to fit straight in using a formed "lip clip" underneath and is precision drilled for existing posts etc as anchor points. Looks superb and the ultra thin s/steel hardly affects ball travel at all!
The coloured sleeves are obviously a new compound. They have a semi shiny finish and do not mark up with black s**t like the old yellow sleeves did. I have planted these into my Whodunnit? and they look tres spiffy.
Thanks Mark.

Great protectors,they do hide those wear bits.Just ordered some for my Cactus Canon to stop some of the wear around the drop targets.

Anyone in Perth need anything more as i can combine shipping to save some dollars.

The Cliffy Protectors are great . I own a DE Star Wars and the 2 holes that the Cliffy's protect had very minimal wear on the edge but I wanted to stop it from getting any worse . Fitted well and look like they were meant to be on there from the factory. The Cliffy site also had easy to follow step-by-step instructions on how to fit them.

Also would like to take this opportunity to thank MarkC for sourcing them for me . I was having trouble contacting Cliffy directly so Mark ordered some in for me even though they were an item he doesn't normally stock . Thanks mate. ..  #*#
