Quoted from Marten:Haha, what’s next? Flamethrowers?
real canons!! and torches on the side!
sounds better now i know he's not acussing me of being aroused and also ask pictures of the boards, under the playfield, and a movie of ship and chest working properly. ship sinking and coming up, and chest opening.
what is thewhite thing on the ramp middle right?
plastics see mostly ok?
all is fixable btw, but like peter said depends on you.
ramp and plastics set are expensive. ship is also pricy if cracked
The ships clutch under plafield is pricy.
compas decal just 20 euros
Quoted from BENETNATH:I don't know how i the market around you, but in france, it's quite a good price...
all depends on state of components as mentioned earlyer.
If you're comfortabele with repairing tweaking and so on it's okay but if you need to hire someone to fix and adjust you have to count that up with parts.
all depends on state, but i say just go for it everything is fixable and you can easaly do yourself!
just let us know if you need help
Quoted from BENETNATH:Ok, i got additional videos. ship , chest and spinner are working without issue. I'll join the club
Does anyone have the french modified rom to get movie's musics ?
i think you can find the french code with sound on youtoube is s movie i believe
Quoted from Koos:How do you make the machine show the credits and sound the music like that??
open the coindoor an yell inside, joho joho a pirates live for me!
no just kidding its a code you enter with flippers, i will look it up for you
The game contains a secret credits sequence accessed by a special flipper button combination. You can activate it during attract mode with the following flipper button code where 7L means hit the left flipper button 7 times, 1R means hit the right flipper button once and B means hit both flipper buttons together:
B, 7L, 1R, 1L, 1R, 13L, 1R, 1R

Quoted from jbug:Where did you get the custom instruction cards from? They are more colorful and brighter than the set I got from Coin Taker which don't lay down flat (even after a bit of trimming).

Where is number 2 ?
Quoted from BENETNATH:There are 2 if i'm correct
Just about my search of a ramp. If it's in usa, i can have it shipped back to France. So ping me please
Quoted from Psw757:I didn’t know this, I’m assuming another multiball?
http://www.pinballnews.com/games/potc/index7.html
about 3/4 of the page
i only made it once on a potc with all settings on easy 
, but im just an avarage player.

either way it is a lot of work!

Quoted from michi:I haven't been able to get to gauntlet on factory settings yet. I've played Four Winds about 20 times now. But never manage to finish it. The problem is that you get only one shot at Four Winds. If you don't make it, you have to complete the entire compass again.
POTC has one of the hardest wizard modes in all of pinball.
But it keeps you coming back for more

Quoted from Gleger:It clears the cutout but seems to go too far back. The ramp stops the lid instead of whatever mechanism is supposed to stop it. I just can't figure out what it needs. I'll have to take it apart.
Everything else seems screwed in right.
take a look in the manual page 76 and 77
if you don't have it just google for stern potc manual

Quoted from Koos:Hi guys, I’m seriously considering selling my POTC to buy another pin.
Unfortunately I only have room (and the budget!) for one pin. And after a year of playing the same game over and over again I’m interested in getting to know a new game.
Prices of more modern pins like Ghostbusters, Metallica, Aerosmith and The Walking Dead are dropping so I’m discussing a few trades here and there.
The question I have for you guys is what do you think a very nice POTC HUO is worth nowadays? Mine is in mint condition with no wear at all on either the playfield or the cabinet. I installed Cliffy’s, replaced all lighting with LED and created a customs topper.
Please let me know what you guys think! Thanks!
Sorry to hear you lost your mind Koos 
Buddy of mine sold his one for 4500 with some mods normal dmd but real great shape almost like new
But buyer was a potc fan
Good luck keep us posted
Quoted from PeterG:Yes rubber ones from ebay, five pack. Painted them with darkgreen model paint. Tamiya. They are bright light green. I always like to weather plastics. They did come out nice. Placed some additional lights below the kraken to light things up.
i have a set of these but was affraid of the rubbery texture it might flake the paint.
I have them as a topper
the paint u used is model paint i believe?
btw Peter i finaly got a canon for my inlanes, hope to cut it and place soon!

Check if the coil isn't locking up by dirt or melted inside the coil bushing
Even if a coil is a little out of position it can intervere with movement
If everything is good check the wire's for internal breakage by the movement.
Quoted from Koos:So I'm afraid I have to leave this club soon or otherwise I'd be keelhauled.
We know youre not a mutineer Koos, so just drop in now and then and have some rum!
Good luck with your sale, verry nice machine you have the buyer is lucky

Quoted from altan:Arrrrr ye pirates.
It appears there were 2 runs of Pirates. The 2nd happening in 2008. I'm wondering if there was any differences between the first and 2nd run?
I've looked on Pinside and RGP, but I cannot find any mention. I'm surprised I didn't pull up ANYTHING about the second run. But the silence makes me think there were no differences.
(So you don't think I'm crazy. I know there have been subtle differences between runs of other pins in the past)
... Altan
Mine is from 07 , so was there realy a between?
have to look up the month .....
any help or tips for this guy?

Quoted from weaverj:got a POTC in a trade yesterday. excited to start digging into it. first thing i noticed is the shooter is rubbing the auto kicker. shouldn't be that big of a deal, but i'm sure i'll have plenty of other questions along the way. hola.
take a look at the plastic bushing on the axel of the kicker assemblee, adding a small spacer ring or new bushing can solve sometimes
Quoted from weaverj:thanks, bud. haven't even lifted the playfield yet, but i'll check that out.
what were the colors and locations of any colored oem bulbs? i figure the backboard had colored ones. what color were they?
The upper row are normal bulbs, the left row above the compass are red, the right 3 above key are green.
I personaly have bright white leds but with red and green bulb condoms on them for a little more oomph
The top row I have incandecent
Quoted from PeterG:Love the ship, where did you get that?
i found it on marktplaats (Dutch ebay) its from a hot toys jack sparrow i believe
I use my own sounds and sometimes sounds from other people made with paintball browser
If you find certain sounds to soft or loud by your liking you can adjust or even replace them.
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/any-potc-custom-codes
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/acdc-display-and-modify-dot-matrix-images
You can also just use standard code and use pinballbrowser to adjust volume but for long soundings you need an official full copy of browser by making a donation
If you need help you can ask oga the creator he s da bomb
2 weeks later
sometimes the autoplunger needs adjusting, under the playfield the plastic bushings on the axel go bad causing space
This results in not both sides of the plunger hitting the ball.
Best first to check this and clean the coil bushing to.
maybe this will solve your problem, also look in the menue if coil power is set to normal not to soft

Quoted from Marten:I've had the machine for a while now but can't seem to figure out when I get Broadside (chance of sinking the ship with one shot). I know it starts when the ball rolls down the right most lane from the top but it doesn't always reward it. Anybody have a clue?
I think there was a setting in menue how difficult to get it, but dont know fore sure

They have more alternates

Quoted from jbug:Edit: I took the piece off to take a look and saw nothing out of place. I also made sure the coil sleeve was not seized or binding and I cleaned them even though they were not dirty. Anyone eles have ideas on what the problem is?
if you go in menue and at adjustments set the coil pulse power to high, do you notice anny difference when playing a game?

Quoted from cpr9999:When ball kicks out, it follows the ball guide ...and then my ball is kicked out and hits the top of my right sling, then right flipper.
Has anyone tried adjusting that ball guide to see if the ball leaves the ball guide and smoothly goes to the right flipper?
When the ball is kicked out of the chest on the right it drops on the top of the right sling and 80% to right flipper or from the top to the other sling or to outlane " the danger bounce"
The monkey shot is all about flow and timing and right alignment of the stars 
a risk reward thing
remember it has a lot to do with slope pitch an how level your plafield is not to mention inserts and waxing etc.
Also the power of your outlet it's plugged in to you can set the coil pulse in your menu to low medium or high it's about 12% strength difference per step
Where I live the line voltage is a little lower so I have it at highest makes everything a little more snappy
Also I have transparent silicone rubbers they bounce some more and less black dirt

Yes had that too
I put i little piece of mylar in the gutter and added a protector to the side
https://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/535-4000-00
I think its even possible to buy a cliffy set for stern
Quoted from jbug:Good news, I got my opto problem fixed (broken pin). I also ordered the spinning disc protector from the Pinball Center. The disc decal on my machine was not worn out at all but I still ordered a new one. I'm sure the new one will outshine the one on the machine but if it's close, I might not have to go through the task of removing it whether it is hard or not to do.
Great! Nasty optos can give a lot of problems when faulty
The spinning disc protector saves your decal and also a lot less powder comming of the disc, love mine!
I swapped my decal for a new one and instantly placed a protector, real great enhancement!
See post 1501 how mine was
Scraped of what was left ,and removed glue with alcohol
So mutch cleaner now.
1 week later
Quoted from jbug:Thanks Jorro. I remember seeing that post before and will reference it when the disc arrives. No more white powder!. Is it easier to put the protector on the new decal first before putting them both on the spinner?
By the way, where can I find the Jack The Monkey toy that I see on some games and who has the best price for side mirror blades?
Yes its easiest that way, the monkey is from barbosa you can find the set on epay sometimes.

Quoted from jbug:I got the new spinner disc and protector installed. I had to use Goof Off though instead of Alcohol to get the residue off.
I found that monkey on eBay without Barbosa. To those that have the monkey in their game, how have you attached him around his sign?
Nice

Quoted from flynnibus:everyone knows this... we use the term 'rubber' not as a literal, but as a functional term.
No one says "hey, that slingshot silicon band is broken"
And no, replacing bands on all games is not a PITA... there are degrees of pain depending on how intertwined things are on a game or how much needs to really come offf.
rubber / condom, Condom / rubber f¥ck it we know what you mean!
Mikonos great looking cards man!!
pencilneck Is the metal tip of the outkicker not bend or of centered?
Quoted from PeterG:Is it the ship? Maybe rubbing somewhere?
Yes check this, there is a white plastic guide rail behind the ship for the movement maybe there
Good call Peter!
Have you CSI'd the flaking yet?

Quoted from ababapanos:in my pinball the problem is it does not save the settings I make, like the free play, etc ... every time it closes makes a reset settings. there is no battery problem because the scores saves them normally. What it can be? I change the small round battery but not working. still lose the settings
Have you updated the code
Or made changes to sounds with pinbrowser?
I had this once, when i uploaded the code again it worked normaly again.
Once someone had this problem with the old boot room
He changed to latest boot rom and then it worked again.
Also check if the boards cell batery is good.
Check these things out.
Good luck keep us posted

Quoted from maffewl:Yes. The opto's are under the plastics in front of the chest.
Theres also a mini rol microswitch under the chest near the gate post.
Remove chest and inspect

Quoted from Spacemanratso09:So the previous owner apparently took the decorative lid off the chest
He says it was hitting the plastic ramp that goes by
I can slap this sucker right back on but it does look like maybe it will hit the ramp
I see nothing wrong or anything shifted out of place
Any suggestions or insight ?
Check the position of the entire chest remove and rebuild but on forehand check the ramps positioning
There is just a little room between the open lid and the ramp cutout.

Quoted from jdoz2:Well it seems like putting a big Mylar circle over the new disk decals are required.
Really disappointed to see that after maybe 10 games, there is white flurries all over the playfield and stuck to the flippers.
Yay I get take that mech apart again
Hi, on this website they have 3 sizes of sppinning disk protectors

Scroll down, i dont recall the size i used.

Quoted from jamex:Only problem left, when I press the left flipper, I listen a lot of noise from the coil, what can it be?
Is it a buzzing sound?
Check if the coil is mounted straight
Or
Replace the coilstop and the coilsleeve.
Sterns have a lot off buzz to the coils
Sterns have a slight buzz its because of the systems power cycle, but if the noise is realy hard sometimes filing the coilstop and the coilplunger tip smooth reduces the buzz.
The whole assembly must be in the perfect aligned position and a new coilsleeve is always better.
I also recal someone once had loud buzzing, and when the playfield slope was adjusted less steep the buzzing was reduced.
Also be sure to check/ clean your eos with a bussinesscard
Here! Found it

Quoted from huwman:Thanks - turns out the problem was that I'm an idiot! I thought that the 'all pirates completed' meant sinking all the ships, but it really means hitting the pirates targets til you get them all! So nothing wrong with any of the codes. Or with my machine. Just my brain!
Nevermind, you're only huwman!
