Quoted from Tyamry:

I have a CE that I received on April 2, 2019 that has the
washers already installed.[quoted image][quoted image]

Are those metal washers or Mylar?

Has anyone installed the opto protection shield from Jersey Jack on the back of the Black Pearl? The shield is supposed to protect the Black Pearl right spinner and left spinner - U-shaped optos #67/68 (18-005003-00).
Am I doing it wrong?
Looks like it doesn't have enough clearance.

Thanks for your response Soulrider911 . the previous picture doesnt actually show it well enough but it's not just a tight fit. The screws that hold the optos in place prevent this from being installed in this manner. Even if these screws were shorter the shield would make contact with the optical sensor and would not mount flush.
If this is the intended installation orientation the shield is not built correctly in my opinion.

Talked with JJP about my replacement. They said its still in works. I guess CEs are last to get fulfilled. I'm in no rush so no big deal. Might be peace of mind for people who are still waiting and biting their nails.

I asked about it while taking to JJP about an unrelated topic, a few weeks ago. They said I'm still on the list... I said no rush. Just wanted to be sure it was still happening and sounds like it is.

Quoted from jeffro01:

Hate to be that guy again, but any POTC CE owners get a replacement yet?
Thanks,
Jeff

Nothing yet. I talked with JJP a couple months ago and confirmed it was still in process.

Quoted from jeffro01:

JJP apparently seems to think they can just ignore this problem and it'll go away... Have ANY CE owners gotten their replacement playfield yet?
Thanks,
Jeff

Got it!
