Joined the club this week! We purchased ours from Papa. It is setup brutal on purpose. Nobody has walked the plank yet. Feels like the upper playfield pitched downhill to make it harder. Anyone have ideas on how to make it easier to hit that shot?

And I would be in for a haul!

I cannot get my fluorescent light to work on the backbox. Can anyone recommend a good light kit for this game? I see some posted from a few years ago. I'm curious if there's any newer kits that really work well with this game.

Thanks! I did check them out after I saw the post from a few years ago. Looks good

Where can I get some quality apron cards for POTC?

Thanks

We just got one last week. Highly recommend the ColorDMD!

I would definitely over pay for one at this point.

Is the ball supposed to hit the pirate ship? Mine smacks the pirate ship.

Thanks. My next question was going to be the same as HighVoltage.

I got the ColorDMD LCD. It's awesome!

Super easy. Download, plug in the USB, and I believe a couple of button presses.

I purchased this game for my wife after noticing she played it on location every time we came across it. The only modifications we made were adding a color DMD and Pin Stadium lights. They both are fantastic additions to this game. Any other home run modification suggestions for this game?

It's also a fan favorite. Everyone who visits enjoys the game. I have it right beside Batman Dark Knight. We have room for one more DMD game to sit beside those games!

Thanks for the tip!

Will that cause any issues with the color DMD software?

I tied my pin stadiums to the ship flasher. I bet if you attached this kit and the ps lights to the flasher your head would explode! LOL

Got an odd issue. My ship stopped raising so I tried testing it in diagnostics. The motor turns but it will not come back up. I raised the playfield to take a look at it and the ship works perfectly fine when the playfield is vertical. I dropped it back down and it no longer works. I put the playfield up and it works. It makes it very tricky to troubleshoot. I don't believe I see anything getting caught. I can see the lever that raises the ship and it doesn't appear to be attempting to lift it. Any thoughts on how to diagnose this one?

I will give it a try. Thanks for the tip?
