Sinbad Goes Home

Posted on by

We were really happy with how this Sinbad pinball machine turned out. It looked great! But we were happier still to send it on its way with a great group of people. Sinbad the Sailor has gone home to a VFW post in the east valley. Thank you for your service, and enjoy your machine!

Gottlieb came out with Sinbad in 1978, and produced around 12,000 of the machines. (IPDB)
This particular machine was extra interesting because it was a sample machine, and came with a prototype cabinet with metal sides on the front, back and part of the head, though still wooden sides.
The game is based, of course, on the classic protagonist of Middle Eastern lore, who adventured the world, battling monsters and collecting treasure.
We gave this game a full shop job, pulling everything off the playfield to be tumbled, buffed, washed, polished, or otherwise cleaned.
We installed Cointaker LEDs throughout as well.
Enjoy the game, guys, and thank you again your service.
