So if I have this right...there are 4 collectors edition unspoken for? No limited editions and several standards?
Quoted from harryhoudini:Not sure about your part of the world, but in the US at least the only edition available is the SE. If you can, get the LE and if you want to spend get the CE.
Unfortunately it looks like the LE and CE is a no go...they are completely sold out and not on the assembly line at this point. He’s making Wonka’s now
Ok I think I’m going to pull the trigger and get the SE...I swear if the LE comes back out, I’ll be so pissed haha
Quoted from Yelobird:No worries ALL models are awesome. The only regret you would have is not getting one!
I think my biggest regret will be the GI lighting and star map
Quoted from Blackzarak:What pitch is the best to set potc? Just got mine in today SE model.... yup yup.. I'm finally in the club I'm excited[quoted image][quoted image]
Mine ships tomorrow!!
Quoted from dts:But I just got an email from JJP and Jack said this morning no more LE parts to be sold to SE owners. I know of a pinsider working on a mod for the spinning pirate, so maybe it doesn't matter.
That sucks. My SE comes tomorrow and I was hoping to order a few of the parts
So I was just playing..the LED screens both just went out...music was playing still, game was still active....but they went black (both main screen and mini). A reboot got it back to working again...What should I be checking for?
Quoted from Soulrider911:I must say Automated customer service has been top notch, I have never ordered from them before.
I ordered my SE from Automated late Wednesday...already got it today at 2:15pm!
Quoted from brucipher:Mine did this exact same thing one of the first times I had it on. Power cycle fixed it and it has never happened again. I reported this here and someone else said the same thing happened to them, never to happen again. Hopefully just a fluke...
According to the change log for .99, it fixed some monitor issues. I’m still on .98. I’m going to update it tonight
Quoted from tonycip:I have a couple more of these shooter rod's if interested shoot me a PM[quoted image]
How much? Thx!
So this is my first NIB...I am impressed...its my 3rd machine in the collection, but my 4th machine I ever owned...I am impressed so far with JJP's quality...I know there were some issues with the pops, but mine looks to be so far in great shape...I did have them send me the kit with the washers just to play it safe...I will say..they are very responsive...I sent an email about a missing plumb bob, and I had a response within 3 mins through email...the person I emailed quickly got all my info, registered my game and got me a shipping notice for the one missing part...very impressed overall...Can't wait to get into this game really deep...yes its an SE, but I don't know any better since I never played the LE...I love it! I've already been eyeballing the hell out of different mods lol
Quoted from 3pinballs:ball stuck on upper playfield 1st ball played, bummer. the upper ramp is about 1/4 to 1/2 inch lower than the ramp....any ideas.
Also, no washers on either side... they look good, but need to get kit from JJP[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
I emailed them yesterday about the washer kit...should ship Monday. They were quick to respond!!
Quoted from PinMonk:Probably have to widen out the mounting holes on the bracket for the assembly and slide it over. It's too close to drill new mounting holes adjacent to the existing ones.
I’ll leave it then lol
Quoted from gumnut01:Wait until you do a chapter like Infiltration and the whole playfield goes red. The white would be fine but the RGB GIs do a great job at setting the mood during different stages in the game. Most important are the RGB inserts though.
I’ll never get to experience this unfortunately lol. Damn it I wish he had made more LE’s!!! LoL
So I emailed JJP today about buying some of the toys for the SE...I was told only LE/CE customers are allowed to buy any upgraded parts from those machines. Quite sad about it..I only wanted the Devil’s Triangle and the Spinning Tom LoL. The good news is they did sell me the shaker motor!
Quoted from Dr-pin:Why dont you just say you have the le and the toy broke when you polished it?
They know by your serial #
Does anyone have a Devil’s Triangle they would be willing to sell? JJP is being kind of odd about selling any LE toys to SE customers. (Yes I bought the SE a bit late and missed out on a LE unfortunately)
Quoted from harryhoudini:Someone just posted one. Marketplace?
It sold within seconds. I messaged him quick too lol
Quoted from Soulrider911:Ya sorry guys it sold in literally 2 minutes, hopefully JJP will start selling them again to SE owners
The way they make it sound, this pin will never be made again lol. Better stock up on plastics!
Quoted from 3pinballs:What sold in minutes
Someone was selling a Devil’s Triangle toy from the limited edition. All the SE owners are looking for them and JJP wont sell them to us anymore
Quoted from PinMonk:It'll be made again, at least the LE will. Question is will be be shoehorned in between runs this year, or wait until after GnR...
I really hope so. I’ll end up selling my SE and getting the LE
Quoted from statsdoc:This beast takes a lot to dial in, but man is it worth it. I feel like I have tweaked all over the place, but the games just get more and more rewarding and fun to play!
I just installed a shaker and Invisiglass on my SE. i managed to get the Devils Triangle mountain piece too. It is all coming together nicely.
I’m dying to find a Devil’s Triangle. Can’t get my hands on one for nothing
Quoted from lordloss:I lifted my pf and saw my game was marked 982, kinda fun be in the last bunch of the last batch of games
You made me go under and look lol. I’m #921
D8903904-7456-45CD-91BD-500F0B5EDBD8 (resized).jpegIf JJP ever releases more LEs, I may seriously consider selling the SE just to get the few extras. I love this game though. It’s insane
Quoted from harryhoudini:Is there someone with an SE who will take some pics and test some stuff out for me? There could be some cool mods in it for you.
I have an SE as we discussed last night. Anything you need let me know
Quoted from WolfManCat:Not sure if it needs to be enabled but I'm pretty sure you can test it in settings.
It’s in the coil settings
Quoted from arcadem:I understand that a printed manual will not be provided for any model including the CE'S. Did you SE owners get a CD with your games and is it, if you know, as thorough as previous JJP manuals? They have been the very best.
Not even a CD...only the manual on the machine itself in the settings.
Would any LE/CE owners be willing to purchase a Devil’s Triangle from JJP and sell to me? I’ll pay extra for your services
Would either Mod couple or Mezel mods be willing to make their own version of the Devil’s Triangle for us SE owners?
Quoted from harryhoudini:So... who's got a SE?
Yeah, still playing with the speed and coincidence of stars, but you get the idea. And that plastic is a production sample, no dots in the real one.
That’s sweet!!!!!
Quoted from harryhoudini:I guess I've never seen an SE in person.
Did you still want me to check those voltage on those plugs?
Quoted from harryhoudini:Nope, already confirmed We're golden.
I went to work and never came back to the basement lol. So does it work? Lol
Quoted from harryhoudini:Oh wait, that's right you didn't measure the voltage. Yeah, if you can just measure DC voltage at that plug just to make sure. I would bet almost 100% that it is connected to power, it would be too much change for them to not keep it the same for game versions.
Absolutely. I will check tomorrow for you!
Quoted from harryhoudini:No.
On another note... does this get anyone excited?
I got a little excited yes lol
Quoted from JosiahCox:Procrastination almost made me miss this title but I am going to go pick up a NIB standard next weekend. Already got cliffy protectors ordered and I can’t wait to get this thing home. My only sadness is that I’ll be missing the RGB GI effects. Gotta say, I’m not sure why that needed to be stripped from the standard. I get the other LE and CE separations but this is a feature that imho, should have been included with all models.
Anyways, looking forward to joining the club and this thread has been hugely helpful with knowing what stuff to look for on the new game. Thanks everyone!
I have a standard and I don’t even notice the gi being white. All the inserts are RGB...here’s a photo of my standard all lit up. It still looks so amazing
247095F1-4E8B-400A-AEB1-CA84C57B82EA (resized).jpegQuoted from Yelobird:Its an Awesome game in ANY model! Play it and enjoy!!!
I’m waiting on you to tell me you made a Devil’s Triangle for us SE folks lol
Quoted from harryhoudini:FYI I also have the Devil's Triangle rock upgrade coming. It won't be a copy of the original, we're considering it an upgrade as we think LE/CE owners will also want it with the unique features.
I need something to fill the void in that area!!
Quoted from splitcms:I just ordered a POTC from a distributor today. Hoping for the best when I receive it
SE?
Quoted from splitcms:Yes SE. only one they had and it was a miracle to even get, so I can’t complain.
I have an SE and love it. I was happy to just get one!!!

oh i love you guys!!! Order is already placed!! Thanks!!
The hurry up in my opinion is a bit to quick. I never hit it. The ball will be at the top of the playfield and it’ll finally come down to a flipper and it’s already counted down
Quoted from harryhoudini:You may not have holes, it's not like really integrated into the layout as much as just stuck on top of the rail. Btw, there are little, tiny spacers under the screws/rock (this is like the 5th situation where tiny spacers were used that YOU TOTALLY LOSE EVERY TIME). You may not need them, I haven't put it on without them yet, but if you didn't get them I bought a huge assortment from Amazon (because I have lost a few already) and could send you some.
[quoted image]
I’ll end up 3D printing some spacers tomorrow lol
Quoted from harryhoudini:LOL, that is quicker. I kept finding stuff around the house to cut and use as spacers when I lost them.
Can you tell me the diameter of the spacer?
So I have a new issue...the trunk release won’t release the balls. The coil is firing and the little door moving but the balls wont move out past...anyone have this issue before?
Quoted from LTG:They magnetized ?
LTG : )
No. Looks like the bracket just needed a slight adjustment. The arm was to far forward. Maybe a ball hit that area or something. Who knows lol
So one of the bulbs on the spotlights failed tonight. Started flickering then died...I emailed frank since I’m still under warranty but is there is a source of these bulbs for future? They are not the typical 12v LED Wedge...They have two 90k ohm resistors in line it appears...
Quoted from PinMonk:Are you sure it's not just a bad connection with the bulb to the socket? It's very common. Try the electrical tape fix.
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/fixing-led-bulbs-flashers-that-fall-out-of-spotlights#post-4402506
It started flickering then died. I checked the connection and they were still solid and ok
Quoted from gliebig:Same happened to me. I just pulled a bulb from the coin door and used it on the spotlight.
Good idea but I still want to buy a bulb or get a replacement from them. I tried a few other 12v bulbs and they don’t work in the socket.
Edit: Found a pack of 12v bulbs that worked from my slot machine spare parts.
Quoted from Heater:Looks awesome! Can't wait to do surgery on mine!
It’s a fun mod to do yourself. I enjoyed it
Quoted from JohnnyPinball007:Just wondering, after the game is over it shows these funny looking bar code things. What are they and what do they actually show?
You can use your phone camera to scan that and it will post to your Twitter feed showing your high score
Quoted from JohnnyPinball007:Thanks for the info.
I have also noticed on some games it has that weird barcode on the game rules card. What does those do?
Probably takes you to a website with rules. They are called QR codes
Quoted from 3pinballs:Cool.....I don't mind it being open actually as you can see how many balls are in the Chest...just my opinion.
I would agree if the balls always stayed in the trunk but sometimes they come out on other multi ball modes so the amount of balls in the trunk may not always be a true representation of what’s needed to get dead man’s chest MB
So on the SE, all the pop bumpers have lights. Funny thing is, during a game, only two light up (the two that light up would be the same ones that are in the LE without the motors). Is there any way to report that bug?
Quoted from Marcdaddy:So I have a SE and removed the pop bumper covers, I ran a LED test and they do all light up white, blue, red. Yes you are correct on my machine those 2 do not light up during gameplay. Maybe I can message Eric and see what he says.
Same here. All 4 light up in the menu under LED test but during the game it’s def only the 2. It’s def a software related issue.
Quoted from PinMonk:FYI, Lowe's has that hinge in black.
My Lowe’s unfortunately didn’t have it. The good news is on my game I never see it. I have the trunk set where it doesn’t open high enough to expose it
Quoted from bigd1979:Y wont it work.on my le?
It might work on the LE...i do not know which harnesses the LE/CE have used/not used. I know on the SE, I have a harness that ends and supplies 5v. It was a harness located at the bottom of the machine near the magnet that supplied power to the depths opto (back of playfield)
BE7565F2-1486-42DD-AAE7-9EEA30CF87AE (resized).jpeg
Can any LE owners tell me on the bottom right with the PF upright, have this connection in this same state (no female connected to it) tucked away?
It would be slightly left of the black pearls pink/purple harness I have labeled #1 in my game. Thanks!!
849E3BFB-D4A5-4D44-99AE-1BE696F5A0BE (resized).jpegQuoted from harryhoudini:You sure that doesn't go up to the BP as well? I have had my playfield propped up for so long I forgot I don't even have the BP in. I believe the plug we are using goes to the main lighting board on the BP, if that is the same one you are looking at. So that is why we made it passthrough.
It didn’t. It was just in the bundle of wires to the left. My BP has 7 connections and they are all plugged in
Quoted from Rasavage:It’s funny you mention that, yesterday I was looking under my playfield in the maelstrom area and found two male moles connections that don’t seem to go to anything.
You have an SE?
So for the trunk mod, if you have an se, you can use a connector that I believe would normally be for the star map. If you have a LE or CE, you need to have a pass through with an extra connector. Both are easy. One just requires another .30 cent molex
My arrow for the ship is also dim like that but when you go into LED mode in the test menu, it’s as bright as could be so I think it’s just a software issue not giving enough power to the LED
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
Quoted from Happy81724:Silly people get upset but they are good with people trying to sell a car or dvds for a pinball on here. At least yours was a pinball for sale just at a really high price.
Where did you get the star map and do you have a pic of it?

Scott on this group makes them...here is the link to his website:
https://pinballmods.co/pirates-of-the-caribbean-jjp/full-width-galaxy-starmap-backboard-plastic-jjp-potc
It's awesome...If i get down there today ill take a video and put it on here...the mod has different settings you can play with to include different fades, timing, etc.
Quoted from arzoo:The fact that there are fewer SEs will never make them more desirable than LEs. Doesn't matter that they can be modded out to be "close" to LEs, buyers will never see them as equal. Just like LEs can never be CEs. Just the nature of the hobby I guess.
It’s just a title. The game is identical minus a few toys
