Joined the ranks last weekend. Blades, LED, backbox light, plank, speaker lights, and skeleton flippers. Lots of plans for it but noticed a couple bulbs were out. The one light I can't resolve is the crossbones flasher in the middle of the pop bumpers.

Is this one on a seperate coil in the menu or is it wired directly to the pop flashers? I replaced the bulb (was LED) but no light still. Also notice the bottom pop doesn't light in the menu but works during the game.

Quoted from C0untDeM0net:

Anyone else have a squeeky tortuga? I've oiled mine as per the stern docs but the squeeky gets louder as it slows down. When up to speed not a ton of noise. Seems worse after oiling it actually. Not sure what's causing it.

Mine squeaks too. Hadn't looked into it yet

Down with the sneeze guard, and added a little cannonball catcher for good measure. Thanks Maffewl!

Everyone says to buy LCD and go DOTSXL, I did and love it. You don't have that option with the LED.

Check this vid that shows both.

Still trying to find the source of the light under the two swords in the middle of the flashers. Has anyone seen this coil control in the menu? Or the manual? Every pin I could find on youtube did not have this flash during attract mode and their pins only flashed during pop hits. Nothing triggers it in the menu that I can find. I have a normal bulb in it.

how do you test it and what controls it?

To answer my own question, I figured out that the right backwall flasher coil #30 also controls the pop swords PF flasher. The bulb must have been loose in the socket, got it workin now and they flash together

Quoted from teddyb73:

And by the way the LED DMD is still the best for POTC. The rest of you crackers are wrong.

Teddyb can you say what exactly makes it so much better? In the video I posted a while back it seemed almost the same.

Quoted from teddyb73:

I was just messing with you guys calling you crackers. But in my opinion what makes it better. The colors are more brighter vibrant and more defined with the images. LED also looks better for video footage of movie clips. Iron Man, Spider-Man, Indiana Jones, Transformers etc.

Good point on the movie clips.
Found this quote when I was looking for something else in the forums-

LCD provides more display options including larger dots and the blending of the dots to create solid text and pictures (high resolution upscaling). It looks good straight on but is dimmer. You can really see this at an angle. It is larger since it is basically a laptop display.

LED is brighter and just has the ability to display dots. The colors pop. The size is exactly the same as original display. The price is a little less.
