Quoted from VillaThrills:The whole ramp is only held up on one side which may be the issue with the ramp not sitting level.
The ramp shouldn't be level, should be leaning to the right a bit, at the top by the pirate ship playfield.

Quoted from LTG:There is a screw in front of the hex post below the spot light on the right top side of the ramp. It runs through a rubber grommet. Turn it tighter to lower the ramp to the right so the ball rolls off the gate.

Can you post a picture please. I’m not finding what you are referring to.

White X is the boat. Orange arrow and X is the metal bracket hooked to the ramp. Red arrow points to screw to screw up or down as needed. Yellow is rubber grommet you squish or unsquish as needed. Green arrow is hex post the rubber grommet rests on and the screw goes through the rubber grommet into the hex post.

Awesome! Working great now. Thanks

Yep, mine was actually leaning left. Had to bend the bracket and screw in as far as I could to get it consistently draining right. But I think all is good now. Thanks for the insight!
Sorry to see that some of you are having tech issues. I'm sure they will be solved soon.
I found a standard Pirates on location last night. It was dialed in and played smooth like butter. The light show, call outs and music were amazing. Great game!! : ) Congratulations to new owners!
My spotlights are slowly getting knocked out. They get hit and the bulbs just crumble — usual wear and tear. They are 12v lamps like flashers, but serving as GI. I’m looking into adequate replacements that aren’t ultra bright, but haven’t found any. LMK if any of you have replaced with anything cool!
Quoted from DANGERTERROR:Ok where the heck are these from? Found in the bottom of the cabinet under the pf.

I have unpacked my nib POTC le and There was a scratch on the cabinet and the decal looks like reptil skin.
Now I get from my dealer a set decals.
I can not fix a new decal on a cabinet im a player not pb builder.
Whats you advice?
I can't tell if that marble look on the cabinet decals is an issue or not, have never heard of something like that. It doesn't look like a ton of mini air bubbles but can't really tell. I wonder if all cabinet decals simply look like that under the right light?
Does the cabinet feel smooth?
Oh that’s not good! That’s a shame. Big time QC miss! :naughty:Those ripples are either two things imo.
1 poor install of decal
2 heavy paint causing a ripple effect through the decal.
Either can be fixed but totally sucks!!!
It is fixable though and if you get the rad cals that would be great but still need to be installed.
I would suggest if you can’t handle it to have it done and have the charge back to JJP or dealer.
Little fixes like soldering or putting bolts back into coin door are forgivable. But this is a large task and requires time and patience.
I am truly sorry to hear this esp as far away as you are!!!
Someone posted something here about a setting for either replay or match sequencing producing a rewarding effect/animation.
What is the setting to adjust?
Quoted from heni1977:Wish I could help you out, but my ceiling is to low so I won't be able to install it.
Hang it on the wall or put it on a shelf and power it with a 12v wall wart.

I don't think it's an issue at all. From what I can tell all decaled machines will have that look at the right angle and light.
I just examined my THBA AND WOZRR; The Hobbit shows some light 'dimpling' but not obtrusive. The WOZRR has rad cals and is absolutely perfect, smooth as glass. Sorry that the Hobbit does not have rad cals but I did order them for my POTC LE. Maybe that isn't an explanation but at this moment I think it is. I will update my post when my POTC gets here.
Can someone do me a favor and take a picture of switch 21 lower from play field and bottom side?
I’ve had a switch 21 lower switch stuck closed msg for a while and I was directed to play the game and hit switch to activate it.
Msg hasn’t gone away and upon closer examination of the map and where my switch is located, it appears there is literally a piece of white plastic there and no switch installed.
Yes, seriously I see no leaf switch installed and nothing hanging under pf!
WTF?
Quoted from VividPsychosis:To be fair to JJP, they push the envelope well beyond anything stern does.
Thats crap, I just played POTC and its was boring as hell compared to IrMaiden. Jam packed doesn't equal greatness. Oh yeah
Quoted from Hazoff:Thats crap, I just played POTC and its was boring as hell compared to IrMaiden. Jam packed doesn't equal greatness. Oh yeah
This is a POTC owners and fan club thread, not a place to crap on POTC. There's plenty of other threads to discuss Iron Maiden and its two ramps.

Ok then leave the comparisons out of it and thanks for setting me straight. I say whatever I want in whatever thread I want.

That's funny. I played IM and got bored. I don't own a potc, but it definitely appeal's more to me. Each to their own though. Bye Felicia!

I could see that and ur right to each is own. What I hate is when JJP fanboys bash Stern, not going to get away with it while I'm around.
Quoted from Skyemont:You have to be just plain stupid. Oh yeah.
I can't wait for the rest of the fanboys to chime in, also I'm not plain anything, full stupid with hints of crazy. I'll ruin the whole thread if you give me the chance. Lets go.
Quoted from Hazoff:I could see that and ur right to each is own. What I hate is when JJP fanboys bash Stern, not going to get away with it while I'm around.
I'm not an owner of either, but comparing Iron Maiden to JJPOTC is gross (JJPOTC >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> IM)
Quoted from Hazoff:I could see that and ur right to each is own. What I hate is when JJP fanboys bash Stern, not going to get away with it while I'm around.
If JJP fans want to bash Stern in a JJP game specific owners thread that's totally cool, same goes for Stern fans bashing JJP in a Stern game specific owners thread. However, coming into a JJP game owners thread, or vice versa for Stern, to bash that game isn't cool...that's trolling.

I actually love my Stern's. Not bashing, but seriously why make a comment about jjp games like you did? If you don't like the game, keep out of a potc thread. Doesn't make sense. Keyboard warriors I guess. Go back to the IM thread and brag it up.

Quoted from Psw757:Anyone able to help with this lower switch 21 issue?
I'm out having dinner with the wife. I will take a few pics when I get back if nobody else has helped you in the mean time.

Quoted from Psw757:Anyone able to help with this lower switch 21 issue?
I don't have my game here, but I did take a look at the online manual. Switch 21 shows as being "upper slingshot low", that slingshot is located behind the "gold" standup targets. Have you tried activating the lower leaf switch? Or are you able to see it?

There are two upper switches from what I see in the matrix and using map in game.
The upper switch works fine but the lower one under the pearl ramp I just see a piece of white plastic, no switch.

Hmm, haven't run in to this message about switch 21, so mine must be okay. It looks like you might get some help tonight from someone else, if not I will be servicing the game tomorrow and will take a good look at it.
Quoted from VividPsychosis:The house that Jack built. 2/3 games working perfectly and just need to work on the potc upper pf flipper tomorrow if I can get the wiring all straightened out and then I’ll be golden.
