• Cheap covers for pinballs?

    I moved to a new place and the game room (kitchen) gets a ton of light.
    I'd like to cover my games so they don't get any more faded.
    Any thoughts on the cheapest way to go?
    Thanks!

    For the glass, just use old bath or beach towels. Not certain what you can do for the sides of the cab. You may want to look into UV window tint / coating. for the windows themselves.

    Craigslist - cheap kids camping tents. Or cheap tarps.

    I was thinking about maybe a tarp, or very large sheet that can cover 3-4 machines side-by-side.
    There is probably something made for covering furniture, but I'm not sure what term to search on...

    What about putting UV protective film on the windows? There are films
    that protect against fading and then you don't have to remember to cover
    the games...
