Sadly I am out on my CE as well, such a shame. Honestly this is not just a problem for JJP, this is a problem for Stern as well. Spooky had this problem with TNA and it was solved. People need to ask Charlie. They were never quite clear on the solution but they DID state in the thread that the problem was solved and it affected a certain batch of games. Charlie, Spooky, what was it??? You did fix it! The games got better...please let us know how you fixed it. My TNA is mint! My biggest concern of all is not the manufacturers, it is the distributors. I love my distributor to the moon and back! I want this solved for the sake of them and there incredible support of pinball. This is a real threat to the industry! People need to email spooky and find out how they solved it!

I would also like to add that my Beatles has the wrinkling, my black knight Le has the wrinkling, my iron maiden has the wrinkling....YET my POTC CE is Mint. In my collection it is only Stern machines that have the problem!

The answer to all the problems lies with Spooky pinball! They had the problem and fixed it. If a boutique pinball company can do it and stay afloat, I’m sure JJP and stern will be okay......once again, ASK SPOOKY.

Quoted from MK6PIN:

love to see under those huge washers, or after the game has had a few hundred plays on it

My POTC CE has a ton of plays....no problems at all. Please remember that the vast majority of owners have not had problems. The ones that do, post about it. I own every JJP game and can attest to the fact that they all have perfect playfields and no issues whatsoever. I also believe that most people (other than the ones sending photos on here) have had no problems either. I just think that the manufacturers need to speak up about this problem as gambling thousands of dollars is not a fun thing to do.

Quoted from captjoeb:

If you were Spooky, would you tell?

Absolutely I would! This actually gives them a competitive advantage. They should be proud.

Actually as a collector, Alice Cooper is looking pretty damn attractive in a time like this.

Quoted from MK6PIN:

There are many, many, many that do have the issues, as talked about endlessly in the threads that are not being replaced but sent washers to temporarily hide the mess.
There was no bigger JJP fan than me, and after massive support from Eric and effort on my part, my ECLE is electronically stable. It still has a beautiful playfield, and will keep it until my entire lineup is sold at some point down the road.
It is, however, the last JJP I will ever buy. Had so wanted a Pirates and Wonka.. Out of this thread, and admire those that are speaking out with their wallets.................

Is there though? Has anybody counted? Let’s start on page one and do an honest count of the known machines with problems. The low number might surprise you.....Don’t get me wrong, I completely empathize with those that have issues. I myself am waiting to hear from the manufacturers before I go through with my purchase... But I just suggest before throwing the baby out with the bath water has anyone actually counted?

Quoted from jimwe5t:

From all the posts here on pinside about POTC PF issues, I don’t believe your assertion for one second that vast majority have not had problems. Don’t know one owner, except you (I too would like to see under your PF washers) that hasn’t had issues.
(Is this one of the new JJP owners under the name of CGPinhead writing this baloney???)

I don’t need to address your conspiracy theories, but let’s say JJP sold 1000 machines. Let’s also say that 50 have this issue...that is a low deficiency rate. In manufacturing that’s not a terrible number.

The reason I am suggesting a count is that facts and numbers give much more accurate information.

Also, I would like to add that “50” is a very high estimate....again, count the complaints...

Quoted from jimwe5t:

Trying to blow off my comments by calling them conspiracy??? Pretty low my friend, pretty low.
Unless you can count all the affected people that are not on pinside what does it matter? If just one automobile has a paint issue, any auto maker stands behind it with a repainted car or your money back period. There is no tolerance at JJP prices to say only a few is okay. That is not the case with POTC and WW, even though as a fanboy, you’re trying hard to defend a sinking ship.

Wow....fan boy? My collection says differently...once again, numbers and facts over emotion and speculation. I hope you find happiness my friend

Quoted from pipes:

So you just want to assume that all of their customers are active on Pinside and the ones with issues have all posted in these threads? This is your way of getting an accurate number?

It is definitely a starting point.

Quoted from RichieWrench:

I acttally agree with you on the numbers - I don't think it is as high, But there are issues with some and the company is not taking care of them - I hope it is low number, I dont care if it was just two - Take care of those two and move on....Lets hope that JJP does the right thing.

I agree Richie! Maybe JJP should let people know those numbers. It might resume people’s confidence.

Quoted from Dr-pin:

If this would be the case, it makes even less sense JJP not taking care of thoose Who have.
As it stands, we are buying toys for amounts most people on earth would call a small fortune, and for most is really substantial money.
What Do we currently get?
Worries and frustration.
Not acceptable

Agreed. JJP should let the public know the numbers.
