Sinbad on this forum but FT on AA.
Forgot you guys started a new aussie website, cant be a bad thing in my opinion.
So I know alot of you guys, you know me (or hate me) lol
I have Sinbad, FT, and Mustang. They all work great, and my favorite is Sinbad. Sinbad is the era I played pinball, never played a 90's game till 2007 lol. Most 90's games are new to me, which is pretty cool, allways exciting to meet a "new to me" pinball. For example I am yet to play a TZ, MB, MM, HS, WCS etc. Highest on my wish list is Nugent, its not an expensive or sought-after pin by any means, and they do come up for sale from time to time. So my ultimate pin should come my way sooner than later. I used to play Nugent before highschool most days, nearly allways missed assembly, but we had a ball. At home dad had a collection of around 15 EMs, he wrecked almost as many....in the 80's you could buy them for 100 bucks working. Shame all dads machines were sold long ago.
Cheers

 $.$ and  %)% to AP...

Sinbad is a very underrated System1, and one of my favorites. It looks great next to a Cleopatra, and they both would look awesome flanking a Genie.

Lots of system1 love here lately - a "good" thing.

Welcome Sinbad. I too have bought a Sinbad from Mark C which is currently being restored by Strangeways. Sounds like I grew up in the same era of pinnies as you, as I'm sure most here did.

I can't wait to get hold of the Sinbad. It's getting new plastics, targets, flipper kits plus the usual high standard "Strangeways" finish.

Yes - I can't wait to start it ! It needs work but with the arrival of the Pascal PI-X4, I'm keen to get started.

 $.$ Sinbad!

I recently restored a Nugent for my accountant... he loves all the music theme pinballs (except for Dolly!)

It's a good game, and the one I did came up really nice! Shame I never took any photo's of the restore on that one...

Hiya right back at you. There are some interesting people over here - actually most of them are on AA as well, who am I kidding.
