Looking GREAT Damien !

It looks like it is already working ? Great job on the connectors to the Pascal board.

Well done 

[studley67]

lots of bad lamp holders,nino,buit game is working.display problems,upper right segment on player 3 &4 displays not working.think i have miss wired connectors ,somehow.and a bright middle  segment on ball display.maybe a cross wire?between the two connectors.

Coming along nicely. Any plans for a backglass restoration?

Damien - I just "bit the bullet" and replaced ALL of the globe holders on the Sinbad - Even the ones in the head.

The segment issue will be a connector issue - or a cable problem - as you stated.

thanks nino.i would consider a backglass restore,however,my colour matching skills are appalling!i suppose i have to start somewhere.

Damien,

That is a fine looking pinball - and also a real fun one (yet tough) one to play.

Lots of colour and another awesome Gordon Morison backglass - stunning.

Thanks for sharing these pix and you should be rightly proud - well done

The more we involve the kids, the better the future is for pinball.

Looks great Damien,  You are to be congratulated on saving another pinball that was most likley gunna end up as a backglass hanging on the wall as a piece of art etc.  You have put in a lot of effort with the re-wiring and new pascal board.  Great Stuff

Was that a shot at me by any chance dean?
