Quoted from Tsunami:Looks great! Did you paint it or did Back Alley paint it?
Great compliment if Soulrider did the paint
Yep that is painted by yours truly. I looked at a lot of photos of the Chest from the movie. Wanted to make it look a bit weathered. Used a lot of dry-brushing, and washes
Quoted from Soulrider911:And… we have cannons! Arggggg

Post a vid once installed. Curious how bright those are. Nice work!
Quoted from Soulrider911:Anyone interested in the rope bridge mod? This came on my game and decided to remove it. Like new 35.00 shipped

Been working on a barrel spotlight housing. This can be slid over an existing spotlight, and the back clips in and holds it in place. No glue, not permanent, totally reversible. First Protoype:

I'm assuming the backbox light is just a tube, and fingers crossed it just the tube......
If not, where on these machines should I be looking to troubleshoot?
Quoted from dr-fun:[quoted image]
Need details on all these figures, chest, and key. Cool!
Curious what everyone's gameplay strategy is? Any rule adjustments to switch it up a bit from default settings?
Basically, I try to hit the left ramp for multi-ball (short plunge to try and load up the compass spinner to max out multi-ball count), then try and collect the compass modes and destroy ships. Are there ways to add time to multi-balls during a game, but prior to starting multi-ball? (ie. Scared Stiff)
Quoted from midcoastsurf:Need details on all these figures, chest, and key. Cool!
That POTC looks familiar!
This was my beloved POTC I had to let go of after 4 years together. Loved owning it, but had a new pin ready to ship, so, choices. I just thought I’d help you with the mods question. When I bought that pin in 2018, all the characters from the movie were already attached all over the game with tiny zip ties and hot glue (similar to figures on LOTR). So I’m not sure where the figures came from, but I’m guessing a POTC collectable figures/toy set. The key I found online by searching EBay, I believe. $10 if I recall, and it’s metal. I used a strong 2-sided tape along the back and stuck it over the key art. It held for a couple years now and even withstood shipping. The little chest is also an eBay or Etsy find. There are lots of little mods like that on that pin. If you want to see more, including the drunken skeleton holding a bottle, PM me.
So farewell, POTC, or Bon Voyage, it was fun. BTW, the game had the last laugh…while bringing it upstairs to prep for shipping, I was lifting the game from the bottom while a friend lifted from above with a hand truck. We’ve moved dozens of pins without issue. My foot slipped, and I smacked my mouth on the back of the cabinet, driving my bottom teeth into my lip. No stitches, but the result was gruesome. The Curse of the Black Pearl?

Thanks for the info and the great story - hope the curse is gone.
Hey friends. Question for you all. My pirates, that i recently purchased, has a different soundtrack / sound file on it. How would I go about getting back to stock? Any links or input would be great thanks!

Nice work, and they look great on your new POTC.
Quoted from Soulrider911:Thank you marioparty34, are there other mixes out there? Just curious.
I have the Disney Ride Soundtrack on mine. I love it.
Quoted from Soulrider911:OOO how would I know it that is the one that might be on mine? Or where can I get it
Check out page 13, post 647. There are also youtube vids so you could hear the gameplay sounds.
I have a few of these pieces of 8 Lockdown bar mods left if any are interested. Thanks to the astute recommendation by @midcoastsurf, these can be made in one of 2 flavors: Flat bottom with double-sided tape, Or with a snap fit plug to press into the tournament hole button

awesome! PM sent
Got my PotC today....how cool.....
First thing to fix......fluoro tube isn't working, have tested the tube and starter in another machine and they are fine
Next suspect is the ballast isn't working
Put me into thinking changing it to a LED tube, we are 240v here, and if the ballast isn't working, what is the best installation method for converting to a led tube?
Also, ran it through flash lamps test in in test mode, not getting any lights light up when it is cycling through......is this normal for this machine?
Ricbec Congrats its a great game! The tube, yes switching to an LED is the way to go. Reguardless if your on 120 or 240, should not effect the power to the neon tube. Anyhow swapping to an LED tube is fairly straight forward, you just bypass/remove the ballast and run 12v direct to the tube mount. There is some info on here somewhere..
For the flasher test, make sure you have the coin door release pressed in - you can also pull it and it will lock in place - THen you need to press the enter button on the coin door controls to engage the flasher. I think
Quoted from Soulrider911:Got some spot light barrels left for anyone that might want one! Use coupong code PINSIDE for 3.00 off

Check that F2
Quoted from Da-Shaker:Check that F2
If your referring to the flash lamps.....they are working, I just needed to pull coin door button out
Quoted from Ricbec:Looking at new balls.....PotC doesn't have any magnets does it?, still learning the game
No magnets

Thanks, ordering some
Do these games come with a printed backglass or translight from factory?
Mine looks like translight but seems to be stuck against the glass, as in, not glued, just seems stuck.....

Received my coins today. Awesome!! Included double sided tape already attached and an alcohol wipe. Took more time just to remove the plug cover.
