Sinbad on The Block
« on: February 13, 2014, 09:55:17 PM »
Anyone else notice the backbox-less Sinbad in some of the background shots on the TV show The Block? I can't work out what it's doing there but it's probably just a prop. It's a shame really, one of my all time favourite games without a purpose.

Yes, the play field and cut down cabinet made into a coffee table.  Has lights in it as well.

Is that what's going on with it. I couldn't work out what they had done to it with that green thing sort of fixed off to it. It seems to be leaning up against the wall every time I've noticed it.

Yes, I have seen it leaning against the wall most times and sitting as Coffee table once. I assume the green thing houses what's controlling the lights

So the thread subject should read "Sinbad on the chopping block".
If you don't remember the 70s then you were on drugs.
If you remember playing pinball in the 70s you were having a good time.
If you don't remember anything,  then read about it here,
