Awesome work on this Sinbad Nino!

I have a Charlies Angels here to do soon, and there is a fair bit of rust on the metal parts on this one (same container as the Sinbad).

I was going to just use the tumbler, but I think I will use the rust remover first, then tumbler to polish.

Thanks mate  ^^^

The rust removal process was a learning curve, but as long as it saves a pinball from being parted out, I'm happy.

Gavin has the Apron and Backlass, so I hope he will have a thread soon !


This is one of the things I like the most about this forum... the willingness to share ideas that save time, or that will help solve a problem...

Thanks again Nino, you've saved me from working this out the hard way!

Looking forward to the Apron / Backglass thread Gav...

Never would I have thought that I would have to go searching for the Sinbad Restore thread - it was tucked away on the SEVENTH page !

Well Gavin did an exceptional job on the apron, and tonight I installed it. It REALLY sets off the machine. Honestly, the playfield looks as good as it did the day it rolled off the production line. I didn't get too much time to play around and completely finish the game, but I did replace the White Target's springs, as it was not dropping correctly. Now it is 100%.

Now I guess it just needs to be tested and sent to its new owner  #*#

What a transfermation this machine has made.

I love seeing it when pins like this get this level of restore.

This would surely now be amoungst the best Sinbads around..

Well Done #*#

Finally - With the help of Dean Morgan (The artist formally known as...), The backglass was picked up yesterday and installed this morning. The game is basically finished, but it will be tested for the next week or so to make sure everything is 110% !

Here are the finished pictures !!
