Taking a shot and posting here. If anyone wants to sell an SE or LE that has a playfield without pooling or chipping. I’ll pay more than the Pinside estimated value. Please PM if you have one you would consider selling.
Quoted from mtp78:I have a low play mint LE , No pooling or scratches on the game, Cliffy's and star post kits installed 1st week..No other mods...Anyone have an idea on a real street value of the game ? I am thinking about selling and getting a gnr Thanks
If it helps I just bought a near Mint LE #80 the topper and goodie box have never been opened no playfield issues and under 100 plays. I paid $13,500.
Before I bought this one another Pinsider was going to sell me an LE with no issues and an extra playfield for 14k but he decided to keep it last minute.

Anyone have the Radcals option ? Do you install them over the stock art - or do you have to remove what’s already on there first ?
Quoted from zaphX:I installed radcals on top of existing art. I was very very happy with them!

Thanks! I’m going to do the same.

Quoted from wesman:Rather than bend the hooks, I took a freebie fridge magnet, like one you might find with football schedules on it, and sliced up little slivers to raise it.
I kept adding pieces under the hooks, on top of the assembly, till it raised it, and allowed the shooter rod assembly to breathe a bit! (Adjusting the shooter rod assembly itself only did so much...)
LE #80 just arrived today! And I’m having this same issue. What do you recommend using to bend the hooks?
Quoted from attyrhodes:Anyone know where I can pick up the silent spinner parts? Seems sold out everywhere I look. Is this something I could just DIY?
I emailed the Mod couple about this a few days ago - they are hoping to have them in stock soon. Keep checking their site.
Received my Cliffy’s today and there are two “extra” ones. Can someone please tell me where the two with the ? Go. And does anyone of have pictures of the various Cliffy’s installed or being installed for reference. Do most of you install the full set or are some more important that others?
Thanks so much
CCDB63A1-0862-4D5F-8C73-83644B23EE12 (resized).jpegQuoted from Rdoyle1978:Those both go in the shooter lane. The larger one with the rounded cutout goes around where the ball pops out of the trough, and the other one goes on the black wood rail on the opposite side, where the ball hits when it is ejected
Thanks so much !
Quoted from jrawlinson_2000:IMHO Don't put the map hole ones on as you will get rejects. I am having to take mine out as half my hits to the scoop get rejected.
thanks for this!

Quoted from GnarLee:All I can say is yep. year and a half without an updates. Meanwhile there has been time to update almost their whole other lineup. Its pretty fucking sad we cant even get bug fixes done. Picture this "lazy ass" finally gets everything where he wants it and we get an update, but because of the massive changes that were done a ton more bugs pop up. How long should we wait to get the second round of bug fixes? By this point surely there will be a new game to program and focus (or lack thereof) will shift.
Geez, With the current code it’s still a top 5 all time game. Enjoy it as is for now.

The M&M creations Maelstrom switch is the real deal! In the switch test menu as soon as the ball comes in contact with any part of the switch it registers immediately.
Now if someone could make a small mod to cover up the mounting for the stock switch...

Quoted from RTS:Not worth it to me.
I think the opening and closing chest mod is better, and it doesn't cost stupid money.
I think they are both equally nice, but The HMS is $500 cool not $1200 cool.
How much was the HMS from lior?
Quoted from dts:The costs may become more reasonable. Matt at Backalley Creations made an HMS topper for the original game that didn't make it into production. He told me that he needs to get it ready for production to get out there. Now his GnR sculpts are being copied. Glad to see Matt is planning to do his original version for the owners. If you guys are familiar with his work, you know the quality.
Count me in for an “HMS topper”
Quoted from Heater:Me too! Do you know if he posted any pics of the original?
I can’t find any, I emailed them this morning- I’ll post if I receive an update
Quoted from LesManley:Anyone know where I think it was "Ship Target Switch" #48 is on the playfield? I got a stuck switch message today from that one. Game seemed to play fine though, so I may have cleared it.
Very common on mine if you don’t hit the dauntless for a few games. in switch test mode just give the ship a good shake or toss a ball in the hole.

Quoted from Jecco74:Crazy... At this point I can sell my LE in a few years for $30K+ LOL. I would have to get a divorce to do it, its my wife's machine.
There will always be some rich guy who really wants the machine and will pay these crazy prices. I really don't see these high prices lasting forever.
When I paid $13k for my LE a few months ago the wife thought I was nuts. After playing her first game she said “this is worth $50,000” starting to look like she’s not that far off!
Quoted from paynemic:Are people really paying $20k for an LE?! Like mine?
Looks like another one might hit the market.
Quoted from Tuna_Delight:Added another mermaid to my POTC today. Cause one just wasn't enough!

Quoted from arzoo:The LE and CE also flash the active shot (for a few seconds), so the star field is totally pointless unless you find it fun trying to decipher a vague bunch of dots
I’ve never even looked at the star map once. The lcd screen on the apron points to the most valuable shot so if the star map shot was worth shooting for the compass would point to it.
Quoted from LesManley:I believe there are less than 200 SEs, close to 150. The only things you can't replicate on the SE that the LE has are the color changing GI and the interactive starfield. The color changing GI isn't a big loss to me at all since all the inserts and Black Pearl lights etc. are color changing already and like others have said, the interactive starfield is overkill and you can get a full length one for $95 for any version. I have the Devil's Triangle rock mod and the spinning pop bumper mod (with a more relevant figure) and starfield in my SE and they look great. Back when the games were NIB and you got a shaker motor, HD glass, color changing GI, head phone jack, Devil's Triangle, cheap topper and spinning pop bumper in a limited edition version for only $1,000 more...the case could certainly be made that it was well worth it. At current rates, if you are looking for a POTC and can save $5k by "only" spending $14k on an SE instead of $19k on an LE, it's a no brainer to me.
Not that it’s a big deal at all, but the LE also has black trim vs stainless on the SE. I prefer the black but easy and inexpensive to change.
Quoted from Trooper11040:Whats funny is like someone said everyone is attached to that Limited title...I have a SE...and its modded out and MORE rare to own than an LE...Only thing I am missing is the spinning pop bumpers and the silly star map..I added a star map mod that goes across the entire back and it looks 10000x better than the factory one. If the right price came along, I would def. sell it. I guess my 100k joke for sale post pissed off some people as I was muted from the for sale group for 48 hours lol
I also added the full length star map to my LE I agree it looks much better than what was there before
I’m going to get bashed for this one, but I prefer the LE/SE art to the CE art, but the CE topper is pretty cool wish someone made a topper to replace my LE.
Quoted from Rdoyle1978:EHOH has now had THREE times the number of updates that POTC has. #WheresTheCode
EHOH is an in production game vs one that didn’t sell well and they moved on from it.

Quoted from Stef95:Hello, I bought the lighted window for the pearl but I do not know where to connect the power !! The similar plugs that I have nearby are in 1 the power plug of the pearl motor (I tried that does not work) in 2 the supply of the coils of the chest fork (I imagine that not) in 3 the power supply of the coil which returns the ball in the pearl (I imagine that it is not there either) then there are the power supplies in 4 and 5 of the rotary motors (which I will connect) and around the identical plugs with yellow wire. Do you have an idea ?

Quoted from LesManley:$10k before Christmas...and I'll even sign it for you.

Quoted from Betelgeuse:Thanks, but the pop worked great for 6 months before this. I tried moving the connector to the hookup for the other spinning pop and was still getting the same issue. It also was sluggish in Tortuga multiball where it *should* spin no matter what. I replaced the motor and now it's working again! I could tell as soon as I tried it in test that it was spinning harder than the old motor. It could be that these heavier NECA figures wear these motors out faster than normal, or maybe mine was just defective and finally kicked the bucket.
Thanks to all who offered suggestions!
Can you please tell me where you found the replacement motor ?

Quoted from Stef95:I have a problem with my maelstrom ramp, the ball jumps and hits the ball deflector. Suddenly the ball goes into the hole while I am not at the start of multiball. There is a bump in 1, I don't know if it was there before or if the ramp is deformed. Can someone tell me if this bump is present on their ramp?

Ironically, most of the current LE owners paid more than the original CE buyers.
Quoted from attyrhodes:As a LE owner, feel free to keep paddling lol.
Quoted from Green-Machine:Do you mean the newly purchased LE owners?
Yes. Exactly people that have bought an LE in the last year.
Quoted from paulbaptiste:Exactly. Im hoping Elite Toppers makes something incredible for us POTC owners. Ill buy one.
Right when they did hobbit I asked them about POTC. I forget their exact reply but it led me to believe they are working on one.
If anyone is selling radcals or standard art, ramps, upper playfield, ship parts, back glass, etc - I’ll buy any or all
Quoted from zaphX:I think I heard all the "rascals" are sold out

Joined the Beta group today. Was not too difficult to get it going. Jjp is very active and responsive on the telegram group.
Quoted from Green-Machine:I’m definitely considering joining. I was waiting thinking the update was coming soon because of the Beta being available. I was wrong
After you join Telegram you will have access to the beta. Beta installs the same as .99 (instructions on JJP website). After updating you’ll need to install a dongle and set up WiFi in the games menu. There is a critical update via WiFi you need. opt in to the beta and opt into updates before the download will work for updates. All of this is a few menus deep and a little tricky since you are using flippers and start button to enter the commands for some of it.
Quoted from Green-Machine:Extra is good. Starship fantasy makes a really quality ramp for Totan. Wonder if someone could reach out to them to see how they feel about making some sets for PoTC
I’m sure we could easily get 25 people that would be in on an order
Quoted from Millz:Where does one join the Beta group?
Download telegram on your computer, phone or tablet and once you are on the app - search for Keith Johnson or Joe Katz and ask one of them to add you to The beta group
Quoted from Millz:Download the app, but cannot find either Keith Johnson or Joe Katz, any additional guidance appreciated.
Email your telegram user name to [email protected] and ask to be added to the group

Quoted from VisitorQ:There is no Beta 5 code link. The game has to go to Beta and then update via the game itself to version 5 AFAIK.
Someone correct me if I am wrong.
Only the original beta is linked on telegram. Once installed you opt in then everything is done thru WiFi
Do the Art of Pinball sculpted plastics install on top the factory plastics or do you remove the stock plastics firsts ?
Quoted from Tuna_Delight:They replace the stock plastics for the most part. It has been a while since I installed mine, but looking at it now, it appears the far left inlane plastic (sculpted woman figure) goes over the existing plastic.
Thank you!

#7 beta has an error and is bricking the game. You have to reinstall an old iso to fix- but some people are also having issues getting a usb keyboard to work to access bios. Jjp is working on a correct version. New Wonka beta seems to have the same issue.
Quoted from paynemic:Final wizard mode?
If we get a larger ssd and clone it from the old one, then apply the update, is that a safe option?
No final wizard mode. No new game code. Just EQ and system stuff.

Quoted from Green-Machine:I have joined Telegram and emailed [email protected] a week ago trying to get involved in the beta for POTC. I’ve gotten no response. Does it take awhile for a response or have I not done what I should do?
Thanks in advance
Thru the telegram app try to find and message joe Katz or Keith Johnson - that’s how I got added to the group.
Quoted from Green-Machine:Ok…. So now I’m in the group. But I still haven’t been informed on where the beta code can be found for me to download
It’s pinned at the top of the chat. Look thru these.
A591CD1E-15E1-4FB3-BB56-501DE9EB6347 (resized).jpegQuoted from VisitorQ:...or just not buy it.
I probably spoke to quickly as it would just be easier for me not to purchase it rather than talk about it.
Spend your money however you like.
Fair enough.
To answer about the cost as best as I can- it’s about $20 in material to make. It takes about 30 min to tape the cup holder properly - or the paint bleeds. Then it’s $3 in packing material and Between $8-$12 to ship. Occasionally the brackets break - 99% from someone overtightening or accidentally knocking into or walking into them. So I include an extra and occasionally ship out a replacement which has always been free including the shipping. There is also wear and tear on the printer - I’m replacing minor components every 10 cups or so.

Quoted from VisitorQ:What problem are you having? Mine developed a vertical line that went edge to edge, the only fix is to replace the monitor and they aren't cheap.

Just a little spot of dead pixels.
I ordered a replacement monitor from JJP. I was hoping to find one of the older monitors with the good blacks.
IMG_4328 (resized).jpegQuoted from VisitorQ:The monitor you are looking for is more of a Hobbit item than a Pirates.
Thank you.
Quoted from Captchaos:How do you get this beta code?
Join telegram and ask Keith Johnson or one of the JJP guys to let you in the beta group.
Quoted from Munsters:What is the name of telegram group? Cant find it
There isn’t a name for the group that I’m seeing. Just search for Keith Johnson or Joe Katz and ask them to put you in the beta group
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/jjp-open-beta-program/page/6#post-7547266

Quoted from skwal:does anyone remember how to get access to download the beta code?
You have to join the JJP telegram and the link is tagged as a key post.
Quoted from skwal:I ve looked at the 20 key post, none refers to a telegram channel?
The key post on telegram I mean.
Join telegram and fund Keith Johnson or joe Katz and ask to join the beta group. Once on the jjp telegram beta group the beta link is a key post there.

Quoted from VisitorQ:I just sold my game with one installed, last I check people were paying 2G for one!
Oh wow. Last two I knew of selling went for $1290 and $1400 recently.
Quoted from Oneangrymo:Has anyone put a cliffy on the tortuga hole and how difficult was it? I think mine starting to lightly chip!
I did the tortuga whole when I first got my game. It wasn’t hard at all. Just have to remove the scoop and take off the pop bumper cap and the post.
Quoted from Oneangrymo:Now the map hole and my cliffy install will be complete I’m assuming that’s more difficult then the tortuga
Yes, I’m in the same spot you are. I decided to wait as the ship needs to come off. harryhoudini has a great video about removing the ship on his YouTube channel.
Quoted from delt31:To avoid people like me asking about how to get code, etc - can it not be shared from someone who has it now? So if you have the latest beta, can it not be posted so others can just download?
On various versions of the beta There have been a few minor bugs and even compatibility issues with some of the older wifi dongles causing sound issues. So I think JJP would really like beta users on their telegram to be able report any issues. I know the software has been SLOW - but from following the telegram thread - Keith Johnson and team seem to really care about the coding and respond to feedback almost immediately on the telegram. They are as active on telegram as spooky is on pinside.
Quoted from VisitorQ:Has anyone just tried to update to the Beta code through the regular version of the software? With Hobbit and Toy Story 4 it can be done right from the official software like a regular software update. I wonder if people are looking too far into things here...
You need to use the JJP provided link to get to beta 1 via pirates - after that you can opt in and update to new builds
Quoted from Heater:Yes, you have to go thru the Beta. This just brings it to recognizing the WiFi dongle. Once it does and you connect it to your WiFi, it will allow several of the beta updates up to Beta7. I don't know about Hobbit and how it was done without going thru the Beta but Toy Story and Godfather were released with the WiFi built in so there was no need for a USB Stick to put it into beta.
I think hobbit had an official release with WiFi at some point. I don’t think POTC .99 has WiFi
Quoted from Heater:POTC doesn't in .99. That's why you need to join the Beta and go thru the updates which include the WiFi, Equalizer, Presets and fixing a few audio clipping issues. If your more comfortable just with the character changes, stay with .99
I’ve been on the beta since beta 2.
Quoted from VisitorQ:I've seen that Elite Topper in person before, complete waste of money IMO.
I opened the crate’s cover on mine and immediatly put it back on and sold it. Definatly not with the $2500 let alone what it brings now.
Quoted from glpinball:I love the CE topper and I agree with what you said on the Elite topper. Wish I could get the CE topper and action button deco.
Someone out of France made a topper similar to CE. I think it was about $1300 and had a more quiet motor system then OE. I don’t remember who made it or if any are still available.
Quoted from LTG:Goodby Pirates. LTG : )

Is something taking it’s place ?
I just bought one from Christophe (Vulcano) this morning, but he may have more.
Quoted from AMSNL:the new pirates CE topper is sold in Europe
is 1299
https://www.flippermarkt.de/community/forum/threads/topper-potc.253666/#post-2048778
Quoted from Oneangrymo:that is awesome, do the plastic waves not move too? Im interested is he on pinside to contact?
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.
Quoted from AMSNL:Plastics don’t move but it’s for the better .
Boat can be altered in speeds, so instuw lighting and the movies in the background can also be uploaded to your likings
All is plug and play on your jjp game
Do you know if it powers off the games 12 volt ?
Quoted from Green-Machine:Could someone buy this for me? LOL Looks cool but my wife would punch me in the throat for spending more money on pinball
Ha! I just got busted buying mine - I have a shared paypal account with my wife - LOL
Topper arrived today! I had an Elite Topper this one has the same level of build quality and is probably a little nicer done. Definatly a MUCH better value.
First impressions:
The topper was packed well and arrived with no damage to the unit or box.
The topper comes with no documentation (at least mine didn’t).
The topper is not plug and play with the factory topper wiring. It has two power adapters and a Y splitter so you can chain both power bricks together and and run them off the service outlet.
(I used a power strip that connects to the service outlet then has a lead to an open USB on the motherboard and turns the power on and off with the game).
After removing the factory topper and LED channel simply set the new one on and pre drill between 2-4 holes using the holes in the topper as a guide.
Use the supplied screws to mount. Screws are very small I believe the are #4 - 1/4”
The topper has 3 remotes:
Two are exactly the same and as far as I can tell they only turn the led strip for the waves on and off.
The other remote is for the screen - I couldn’t get the power button or any of the others I press to do anything except for the volume. The topper does have audio for the waves and lightening playing. I set the volume just loud enough to mask the sound of the motor.
I emailed the seller to ask if there is a manual or guide for the topper / remote as I know he said you can add video.
Issues:
Upon unboxing my ship wasn’t working correctly I could see the motor spinning but the ship wasn’t moving. A little dissembly and I tightened the screw that mounted the ship to the motor and I was in business. Luckily I thought to plug it in and check before I mounted it. I removed 15 small screws to get at the ship to tighten the screw.
IMG_4620 (resized).jpeg
Quoted from VisitorQ:So the topper does not, in anyway, interact with game?
Nope
Quick update of my pirate ship topper post above. I was email the install instructions and the topper does turn on and off with the game without the need of an additional relay. You can unplug the main computer style power cable from the mother board power supply and plug it into to the splitter provided and plug the splitter into the power supply and the topper will turn on and off with the game. All power adapters and cables stay in the head for a cleaner install.

Quoted from Heater:I was picked to try the on my POTC I/O board. It is amazing. I am the original owner of my pirates and have done all my repairs. The most I have done when it comes to soldering is attaching a broken wire. The thought of desoldering/soldering a board pretty much intimidated me. I resigned to either spending $400 or pulling the board and shipping it off. I am so happy that I waited and bought this.
First off, the instructions are spot on. The pictures alone explain everything you need to do. The entire install took less than 10 min. It is as simple as attaching two wires to the board via screw that holds it, replacing two fuses and then securing the caps inside the Blackbox. Really that simple.
As far as performance, it is as great as everyone has said. The flippers are snappy and quick. I had to turn down all the coils, and playing with them now to find the sweet spot. Much easier chest shot, Bayou hole and ramps. Star Map really flings the ball and you can tell the magnet grabbing the balls is stronger.
The Must Have Mods for this game are the Chest mod and the spinning disc belt. Now there is one more and this is it. No matter how you change the caps, this is the easiest.
Can you please tell me where to purchase the ĤerulEase - I was going to buy a pair of new boards but they are out of stock.
