Just joined tonight
Never owned one really pumped
I pick up in the morning
One owner with like 5700 plays
Man oh man is there black dust everywhere on the playfield
This guy never changed the balls
All works and cab,playfield seem to be near perfect
Thing is filthy though
Nabbed it at 3400
I hope I did good makes me nervous I hope it cleans up

Quoted from cp1610:

Technically joined club a week ago but hadn't posted it so as they say no picture it's here say. Was on a supposed 3rd run wait list way back when but stern never did a 3rd run otherwise i would have had it new. Been looking ever since but hadn't had a shot.[quoted image]

Beautiful man nice!

Quoted from Indypin:

You’re going to love the pin. I enjoyed sinking that ship just as much as I enjoyed blasting that castle in MM, plus the treasure chest was so fun to hit and it interacted well with the game play. Really miss mine and you got one at a cool price. Should clean up nice I’m sure, but get rid of the sneeze guard on it and replace it with the plastic that stops air balls, even though I never had a ball jump up and hit the ship.

I think your right this game looks great the ship works it’s cleaning up nicely

I believe he let the decal on the back spinner wear down and it flew all around in the back
That obviously from reading here easier said than done when it comes to cleaning it
Have a decal coming and have reached out for the replacement guard

*edit for spelling

#2106 4 years ago

This game says version 4.0
Is that the last update?
Thanks

#2107 4 years ago

Also he took the lid off the chest for whatever reason I will have to figure how to reattach

#2111 4 years ago
Quoted from woody76:

Nice pick up, I just got one for $3600. Great bang for buck. Really fun gameplay.
I had to replace my compass decal also, get all the rubbers ready you will need to replace them. Mine where all chewed up. Also, if the
New decal does not have mylar on it put it on there or within a hundred plays it will be destroyed and all over your game. The one from marco does not come with mylar.

Right on.
Ordered one from Pinball Life I will have to check that
The game is in real good shape this guy literally did nothing to clean it
Ya there goes my Elvira 3 funds
To good a deal always wanted a stern from this era
Was always thinking Ripleys but ended up here
Very glad the whole family is digging on it
I have to say,though it’s probably been said a thousand times,when I approached the machine my wife and I were confused by the “sneeze guard “
We were both like WTF ha ha
I will get it off tonight
Was really looking for a moderately priced game this game is a steal you can tell right away it has a lot going on plus I actually like the theme more than I ever thought I would

#2114 4 years ago

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 ?

#2118 4 years ago

So everything is back together on the Pirates
Still need to look into realignment of the chest so the lid doesn’t hit the ramp
Have it set steep but now the auto plunge doesn’t go all the way up some of the time
I guess I need to bring this beast back down
Just starting to get some games on it great game
Has anybody made a callouts/sound package for this?
It’s fine just wondering if it’s available can’t find anything in my searches
Thanks!

#2119 4 years ago

Also ,any suggestions on the best LEDs for this?
I want to do white everywhere but I don’t want it to look phony

#2120 4 years ago

Weird
Installed the latest cod and put on a Cliffy for the shooter now it auto plunges very strong every time
Set up right this game is wicked fast

11 months later
#2392 3 years ago

Just picked up a Pirates with only 400 plays on it
It’s my second one as the first was a basket case
I am thrilled of course but am having a problem
My ship tries but will not sink
I don’t think it’s ever been sunk as every game played on this thing is under two minutes
It’s in such beautiful shape I am worried that I might screw something up
In test with the door closed it starts to go down ,sails are down but it FEELS and LOOKS like it binds then pops back up
I am thinking the armature is binding?
It can’t be a switch I don’t think cause it’s not even getting down there to hit one
All over phases work fine
It rocks back and forth and sails drop during gameplay
It’s running 4.0 code
Would a code update work?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

*edited for spelling

#2393 3 years ago

Ya the sails drop in test it start to go,seems like it’s binding then pops back up

#2394 3 years ago

Think I found the culprit
The screw holding the wiring back here is too far out
Now just to figure how to turn it back without taking this apart

#2396 3 years ago
Quoted from LTG:

Clutch is loose or broken.
LTG : )

Hoping not this screw in back hits the playfield as it starts to go down

#2397 3 years ago

Fixed it was the set screw for the piece that holds the wiring
Thank you!

#2398 3 years ago

My game is at 4.0
Is it worth updating it?
Isn’t it at 6?

#2400 3 years ago
Quoted from arcademojo:

Do you even need to ask? It's free download from Stern site. Ther's no read me file so not sure what's all was done.

When something is not broke I tend not to mess with it
Just wondering if it was worth it
