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.
