hi from syd
« on: October 31, 2008, 09:58:35 AM »
Hi everyone

Growing up, I used to play all the 1970s pinball machines and some very late 1960s and early 1980s pinball machines.

I love electro mechanical and early solid state pinnies.
I also like alot of the 70s arcade machines. But I am more into pinnies.

My favourite pinball machine when I was young was Sinbad.

It took me a year to find one, i bought it and I still love it. I play it more than my other pinnies.

Cheers

Sinbad has a LOT of LOVE here. In fact we should almost rename the site "Gottlieb Pinball forums"  :lol

Watch this space for a restoration thread on Sinbad  #@#

I have the same interest - EMs and early SS..

Cheers

wow you made it here quick!
Yep Sinbad rocks! But just last nite the credits display on mine stopped working. It came back on later for a game or 2, then went. The ball in play side of it is fine.

Could just be the connector.. Reseat the connector on the display - with the game OFF.. Never remove or insert the connector while the game is on.
