Quoted from Blackzarak:I'm in the same boat interested in the standard but wondering is there such difference in gameplay and features worth waiting for a LE to pop up. I read theres no RGB on the playfield or star field.
I really dont care about the star field but does the RGB make a difference? Does RGB playfield mean all those changing colors on the arrow indicators will be just white?
yeah Im just going to wait until something pops up. I learned my lesson that a desired pin always shows up in the listing at some point, always.
Quoted from heni1977:zaphx I am liking the radcals, but wondering what the installation is like and what kind of edge you have on the radcals. Could you take a side pic showing the thickness of these? I am guessing they just lay over the decal?
yes can you share how you did this? I wanted radcals on my woz rr, do they just go right on top of decal?
Finally found a CE for sale near me. Can't wait to get it! I haven't really watched the movie, but Im a fan of the pirate theme. Maybe I will add a goonies mod.

my CE I got has radcals. Did all CE have radcals? Is there any way I can damage them by screwing in the legs too tight? I thought I heard a crack when I screwed in one of the bolts and I didn't even do it that tight.
Thanks
Oh and also my topper is relatively noisy, not too bad, but audible. I love it, its awesome, is there any maintenance required on it?
Thanks
Hey guys I’m new to potc and I just played a few games . The ball has gotten stuck three times already right after launch right under the black pearl somewhere . Search function does nothing . Then I have to behind the machine lift it a bit then it pops out from the right door on the black pearl . Anyone have a fix for this ?
Quoted from DrJoe:Adjust your playfield pitch to 6.5 to 7 degrees and make sure it’s level left to right, otherwise the ball hangs up in the subway and doesn’t reach the VUK.
I bought this from a friend the pitch is literally like all the way up . I never seen a pin set like that . Hind legs all the way front legs short all the way . Is that normal ?
Quoted from Soulrider911:Sadly they removed the open / close functionality
Oh weally?? For like all models in production?
Quoted from PinMonk:They just sent this out on the support list for JJP. It offers a kit to minimize damage from the sling posts and a half price offer for a replacement (spare) playfield.

Is this for all POTC models including CE?
Quoted from PinMonk:If the playfield is damaged, I'm assuming. CE is one of the choices when it asks what model you have (though it also asks for your serial number, so they should know that anyway).
Lucky for me it looks like my CE already has those washers installed .. phew. Didnt want to do any work if I didnt have to.
Quoted from Breger1:ebay.com link » Pirates Of The Caribbean Standard Edition Pinball Machine Jersey Jack In Stock
I purchased mine from Classic Game Rooms, my first time using them. Purchased on Tues, arrived follow Monday. I did have to call them Thursday to push along the shipping as they state ships within 24 hours. they have 2 left
I had good experience with Classic Game Rooms and my Black Knight LE. Came without any hiccups and or damage. Good luck.
Ok this machine is heavy. Whats the easiest way for me to lift it to adjust the feet on the legs. I think the incline needs adjustments. Any tips ?
Quoted from Oneangrymo:Hey guys I’m new to potc and I just played a few games . The ball has gotten stuck three times already right after launch right under the black pearl somewhere . Search function does nothing . Then I have to behind the machine lift it a bit then it pops out from the right door on the black pearl . Anyone have a fix for this ?
Leveling my pin fixed this issue just in case someone else has this problem. Now to play! It looks like there is lots to do and learn! Can't wait!
I asked this before, but does anyone think the CE topper needs maintenance.. mine makes a creaking noise, maybe some lube?
Quoted from zaphX:I think the main fix is to drop the speed on it to 4 or so.
I didn’t realize the topper speed could be adjusted cool I’ll look for setting
Quoted from steigerpijp:Finished my final run of CE shooters today 8 pc’s, 4 of each version.
This totals 25 produced, and the demand has slowed down lately so this probably was just the right nr to meet it .
I have some raw stock left. Made an LE trading company version, maybe there are others who would like a special character version , if so let me know .
As always comes with matching barrel to fit inside the game .
Pm for more info if needed outside of the dedicated topic for it.[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

Hey guys I just noticed Today that my right side radcal has a very slight bubble underneath it . I can press it in. It’s mild hardly noticeable have no idea how that happened must be a manufacturing imperfection anyone else have Same issue ?
Quoted from mountaingamer:I think replacing that side would be a pain. I wonder if you could needle prick it then hit it with a heat gun just to warm up and activate the adhesive and then use a roller to compress it back down - then put something up against it until it cools... I doubt you would ever see the needle hole, and not sure it would work but my guess is JJP just sends another radcal. That or just try the heat gun without the needle. Either way talk to JJP first
Thanks for the advice I’ll contact them. I guess it’s so minor I’m probably not going to mess with it , but will see what they say
Quoted from zaphX:What was your build date? I'd be inclined to see if it resolves itself over time, hoping the air eventually makes its way into the porous wood.
But if it was many months ago, maybe that is not gonna happen...
Looks like a December 2018 build, so its been about 6 months
Quoted from zaphX:Poking a needle through the thick plastic radcal is a different beast though. Much more difficult and will leave an unsightly blemish as compared to a thin paper decal.
Just wondering how this happened can’t be from moving it , nothing touched the sides there is no obvious impact . Kind of seems glue didn’t fix well there
Quoted from zaphX:Just speculating...the installer probably went a little too quickly and just trapped air in there. Same way air bubbles happen in traditional paper decals.
I doubt there is any problem with the glue, it is very strong and you said it sticks briefly when pushing it in.
I'd try the wallpaper roller though, I bet you can squeeze that air to the top and get it smooth.
So aim up not down ?

Hey guys my black pearl is going nuts since I just updated to 0.99. It goes really fast, then slows down, then speeds up again. Is this normal behavior? Am I missing something?

I remember taking our 1 year old down that first decline on the ride
Quoted from liorillusion:great idea. i already made 4D system for WOZ and few people ere already have it. but its not for sale to the public. kingbw scott9

Quoted from arzoo:For me removing the hinge bolts was the most difficult part of the project - they were so tight the plywood veneer chipped on the inside
For my second set I went with PinGraffix blades which have larger holes, so no need to remove the hinge bolts.
Btw, wet method is absolutely the way to go.
I just got pingraffix potc blades and they don’t have holes for the knobs maybe I ordered the wrong ones ? Can u tell us which one u got ?
Quoted from arzoo:These are the one I purchased and they had large holes for the hinge bolts. As I recall the holes were cut but it wasn't obvious until I peeled the graphic from the backing.
[quoted image]
Hmm.. I see no holes at all, I guess Ill try peeling it and see what happens. I hope they are there because putting this thing on without those holes is going to be a pain, the Woz blades fit like a glove, it was quick and easy.
Thanks for the info.
Update, mine dont have holes, I will contact pingraffix see if they can do something.
Added over 4 years ago:Update update.. Pingraffix sending me new set. Awesome customer service, responded in like 1 day.

Hey guys I was doing some
Work adding a new amp to the back box everything fine but now my
Playfield has no leds at all . Everything works fine where should I look for the problem ??
Quoted from harryhoudini:Check fuses
Fuses ok. I think it might be more simple solution, i was reading the tech thread, and some mentioned that a wire underneath the playfield which controls all the insert lights came loose, I think I will check there because I did have a really hard time pushing the playfield back into position, it just wouldn't go back down and back without some force. The only thing that don't work are inserts and that back star panel, flashers work fine.
Well that don’t work all cables
Look secure any other ideas ? There is a flashing led near a big chip on the driver board does that mean anything ?
Ok I probably have to review the rules but is there like an actual end to the game like I’ve heard there is for Jurassic park ?

Now that I got an HMS mod, I also want to get a opening/closing treasure chest, can someone point me out to the best and easiest to install mod for this? Also I want to add some color flipper buttons and under cab lighting for my CE, what colors you guys suggest matches the best?
Thanks

Quoted from Betelgeuse:Has anyone tried using a projector instead of LED strips? A friend of mine has a small projector that creates a moving water effect on the wall. I've often thought about trying to put something like that projecting on the floor under Pirates, but I haven't messed with anything yet.
NOw that is a great idea. Bravo.
I’m noticing some static noises occasionally during gameplay from the speakers , sometimes .. any suggestions ?

Quoted from zaphX:I'd make sure the audio jack is well seated in the motherboard. Also potentially replace the ground loop filter with another one.
Thanks man I tried that and replaced the ground loop filter but was still having issues. Some on here suggested earlier that it could be the headphone jack, so I disconnected the black thick wire that goes into the mother board in the back box at the bottom right hand area, and its better. So now that the headphone jack isnt operating .. anyone have a permanent fix to this?
Thanks

Quoted from pinballslave:Ok, the interference on mine is at all 3 speakers... it's like the earth shields aren't working at all... maybe the sound board should be earthed somehow and the earth isn't being made on the board itself... electronics is a major weak-point of mine... is it true to say that there are two 'wires' for each speaker and the middle wire (the middle pin on the connector) sends the sound information and the outer wire forms the earthing and also the 'return' for the sound signal? If so, would it be possible to simply earth the appropriate lug on the speaker to solve an earth shielding issue??
If this is a totally stupid idea and will blow something up, it's a testament as to how stupid I am in electronics!
I dont know if this will help or not I was getting a lot of crackling,pops and weird sounds all the time when I was playing, turned out to be the headphone jack connected to the backbox, once I disconnected, that it fixed my situation.
Quoted from Mrsiyufy:Looks like Zaphx
If he sold his CE for the asking price he can pick up an LE for under 20k and pocket a sweet profit.
Yes but the barnacles! And the topper! Shiver me timbers...

Quoted from Mikespinball:Okay had sometime today and thought I would tackle this project I have had for many years even before owning this machine.
I got the DVD At Worlds End display from a local grocery store. Had it in my game room for along time, but was taking up space. Took it appart and saved the outter characters and name. Thought it might be cool to add it sometime to a top of a pirate pinball machine.
Well...today was the day. Just moved into our new home in December and my game room now has the ceiling height to accommodate my idea.
Note: the cardboard display is stapled to a 2x2 wood and is just sitting on the top. It's easily removed.
Okay pirate collector's, what's your thoughts? Cool, awesome, looks great and/or too big, overbearing etc. Let me know,
Thanks Mike

Quoted from zaphX:I never liked the look. Like a schlong hanging off the cab, and wreaks havoc with the skill shots.
I always wondered with that mod how do you see the ball ready in the shooter lane? I have one of these never installed it because I didnt understand that part.

Im in too, order placed. I like pirates, and canon balls and shit.
Argghh it comes with genuine gold! First thing Im going to do is take a bite and see !
Quoted from Soulrider911:The screen immediatly makes me wonder.... will they release more loops for the screen!!? Love it
I hope I can add my own movie clips, need me some more pirate!
Pirates_2005_film (resized).jpgQuoted from darkryder:Just installed the Pinwoofer GT system on my POTC LE and wow, what a difference! Loving the clarity and the bass hits hard throughout the game now. I forgot what a masterpiece this pin is as I haven't played it in a long time, but it's really something special. There is a faint crackling I can hear in the tweeters when certain sounds play, has anyone run into that and what's the fix? The game also has the Pinwoofer tweeters. I'll try dialing back the gain and volume settings to see if that helps. Game master volume is currently at 21.
its the headphone jack that runs from the back head to the front coin door. Disconnect it from the back head , same issue with mine.

Has anyone put a cliffy on the tortuga hole and how difficult was it? I think mine starting to lightly chip!
Now the map hole and my cliffy install will be complete I’m assuming that’s more difficult then the tortuga
Does the ship really need to be removed to put the map cliffy on, looks like it should just slide right in
Oh never mind I didnt see the posts.
Im pretty sure the newest release has new video and sounds. I think I heard johnny depp a few times during a game that I never heard before.

Quoted from Mrsiyufy:I just bought one from Christophe (Vulcano) this morning, but he may have more.
that is awesome, do the plastic waves not move too? Im interested is he on pinside to contact?
Quoted from Mrsiyufy:I just paid haven’t received it yet. I don’t think they move. Yes I found him on pinside name is vulcano - he’s a jjp distributor in Europe.
Oh yes I know who he is I will contact him
thanks!
Quoted from jdlang11:Yes. A complete new playfield
It's just the wooden playfields. All Ive ever done was call and ask for parts and eventually when they get enough requests they make it.
so just the playfield, not "populated" playfield.
Quoted from VisitorQ:I highly recommend the metal MAP Hole protector. That area will show signs of wear and the carbon fiber one from Cliffy is not strong enough to handle it as the protector itself will start to wear overtime. CF on the saucer and behind the upper left flipper is fine. Anyone who is not protecting these areas, espically the saucer and map either doesn't play their game, care about wear or already has wear in those areas.
Ugh I was hoping not to the map hole since it requires removing the ship, better get a day off to do it then! Thanks for the advice.
Quoted from VisitorQ:So the topper does not, in anyway, interact with game?
did the original POTC CE topper interact with the game ? I never noticed on mine , just cuirous
Got my new black pearl with video topper too! Thanks for the info on how to install

I have a CE with the official topper, but also got that one from Europe with the video screen on the back. Can anyone w/ CE comment who did the swap was it worth the swap?

Quoted from gunstarhero:That's awesome! Is it a replica of the one on the CE? Does it move?
Yes I think it moves and has video, its a replica not an original JJP CE topper.
I have it NIB
