    My POTC is an undocumented HUO. Here are a few pics that show how few plays it got. The shooter lane is similar. I don't really care that I don't have the receipt; I expect pics like these to sell the game if I ever get tired of it.

    Quoted from Astropin:

    You should play that more

    Oh yes, I'm making up for lost time POTC is getting more play than anything right now.

    Quoted from dung:

    A number of those machines now sit in collector's hands as HUO too.

    Yep. I bought a pin that was routed but in beautiful shape. I did my usual deep cleaning and later sold it. The next owner listed it as "HUO" when he sold it.

    The HUO fetish does real damage to pinball shows. I know of people that considered bringing their game to a show, but didn't want to lose that "HUO" label. Sad. I'll always place the community ahead of the resale value of my pins.

    Quoted from SealClubber:

    It's carved into the cabinet.

    Yep. My HUO pins are easy to spot because I brand them with a hot iron. They say:

    "This here is Swampfire's pin, so hands off!"

    If that doesn't prove HUO, I don't know what does.
