Launched with the marketing slogan, \u2018The Greatest pinball adventure\u00a0of All Time!\u2019, \u2018Pirates of the Caribbean\u2019 is an action packed table that never disappoints. It was launched by Stern Pinball of Chicago in 1999 and has won plaudits not only for its design, by the renowned Dennis Nordman, but also for Kevin O\u2019Connor\u2019s stunning artwork and its cool sound effects. Thanks to a first class audio system you can really crank up the volume without fear of distortion and be sure of hearing it all the way from the crow\u2019s nest.<br \/>\nShiver me timbers? It\u2019ll shiver your neighbour\u2019s timbers too!<br \/>\nThe playfield incorporates many fun \u2018toys\u2019 such as the sinking pirate ship and treasure chest, and overall it has a great feeling of solidity and quality. The gameplay has also been praised by collectors, who describe it as \u2018fast-paced and challenging\u2019. Skilled players will find that four successive hits on the \u2018Interceptor\u2019 ship will send it sinking slowly below the playfield \u2013 a brilliantly innovative feature that never fails to amuse.<br \/>\nGenerally acknowledged to be \u2018One of Stern\u2019s finest\u2019, we are proud to offer this booty-full example in mint condition after carrying out a thorough refurbishment at our own workshops. Fire it up and you\u2019ll be greeted with a rallying cry of \u2018Yo, ho, ho, it\u2019s a pirate\u2019s life for me!\u2019, which immediatley sets the tone. If you\u2019re looking for derring-do on the high seas and swashbuckling action then look no further.<br \/>\nAllow us to explain how and why we go to such extreme lengths when repairing and restoring vintage games.<br \/>\nOver the years we are fortunate enough to have gathered together a select few individuals whose enthusiasm for jukeboxes, pinball machines and vintage arcade games ensures that they are never less than 100% committed to the task in hand. They quite simply love breathing new life into old circuitry and want to see as many of these classic pieces preserved for future generations as possible.<br \/>\nNot for them the perfunctory checklists and proverbial \u2018tyre kicking\u2019 which pass for an inspection at other dealers but instead an unflinching determination to get to grips with the detail. This usually begins with a thorough strip down of the machine and a forensic examination of the internal workings. They\u2019ll be aware of the particular quirks and foibles of any given piece and instead of just replacing failed parts they\u2019ll always go the extra mile, swapping out components which are likely to fail in the near future.<br \/>\nAn obvious comparison would be between a classic car which remains on show in a garage and one that you can actually enjoy driving.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A refurbished pinball machine based on Disney\u2019s \u2018Pirates of the Caribbean\u2019 franchise.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":2942,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"default","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"default","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"default","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"default","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[46,47],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-2743","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-refurbished","7":"product_cat-used","9":"first","10":"instock","11":"shipping-taxable","12":"purchasable","13":"product-type-simple","14":"entry","15":"content-bg","16":"loop-entry"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/grandslampinball.com\/cs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/2743","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/grandslampinball.com\/cs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/grandslampinball.com\/cs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grandslampinball.com\/cs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2743"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grandslampinball.com\/cs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2942"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/grandslampinball.com\/cs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2743"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grandslampinball.com\/cs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=2743"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grandslampinball.com\/cs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=2743"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grandslampinball.com\/cs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=2743"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
