Besides the slings, are there any other posts that I should be concerned about? What about the posts on the BP?

Quoted from harryhoudini:

I put double star posts and washers under the BP and in the chapter select area. Those were the worst of the rippling and slight chipping I was seeing.

Thanks! Do you have any concerns for the posts on the actual ship?

Quoted from zaphX:

Stand down. Do NOT start obsessing and ironing your playfield. This is not a thing you need to worry about.
Trust me, for your own good.

For those of you using Titan’s silicone washers on posts, Did you notice that the posts are never fully tightened? I noticed I could keep tightening and tightening the post and although they did get tight, they never came to a complete stop as they would without the silicone washers. Just wondering if it’s OK to leave them like that?

Quoted from smalltownguy2:

Yeah that was me. So I got a new playfield. What the hell am I supposed to do now? There's no way I'm qualified to swap it in.

Anybody can swap a playfield. Take lots of pictures and take it step by step. Get a rotisserie and you should be fine

Quoted from MrBally:

Just remember, "Installation is the reverse of removal".

Correct. I restore my own games top to bottom. As long as you take good pics, swapping a playfield is a piece o’ cake

Well shit...guess I spoke to soon earlier
My POTC PF was just delivered via UPS so they are coming!

Did you get a notification it was coming?

Post some pics!

Quoted from JY64:

One needs two playfield rotisseries not one side by side you move the parts from one playfield to the other but first time you might want to take a week off work as it is not a weekend job. Play your game enjoy your game sell your game

BS. You can also remove everything with the playfield still in the game. I’ve done it. Take a week off work? What’s the rush?

I got my replacement playfield yesterday! It’s pretty stunning! I did notice the package had the “SE” letters on it. Are the SE and LE playfields exactly the same?
