*Looks like Tim will be taking this one - sold.*

I bought this pin as a winter project, but I don't know that I'll have much time to get to it.

The backglass on this machine is near perfect, it looks great. I haven't even gotten it setup yet, but it should be assumed this is a non-working project. There's some wear around the inserts, everything seems to be there and intact. There's some rust on the lockbar and other cabinet hardware. I planned to get this up and running for MGC and put a low price on it so I could leave it there, as I hate traveling home with the same machine. The idea of getting this off my "to do" list is more appealing at this point.

I'm looking to get what I paid, so $280 takes it. I'll get some pictures up later.

I need another project like a hole in the head. Great price, Dave! If I had the space and time I'd definitely take this one from you, but it's just not in the cards right now. A few months from now I'll be kicking myself. I'm sure you'll find a happy home for it! GLWS!

Pretty sure I will take this.... Shoot me a few pics, but I remember seeing at your place briefly and it looked pretty good.

Sounds good, I'll send some pics tonight, Tim.

Thanks.... Now I need to step up my Ballers game so I can say I bought a pinball machine with my winnings....

I have been trying to setup a pin at work.... Sinbad should be frustrating enough for some fun multiplayer action at lunch.

Congrats Tim! You now have joined the "Sinbad project" club. I"m a charter member going on three years now.

Well, it is safe to say, I am no longer in the "Sinbad Project" club, and now in the "Sinbad Players" club....

Big thanks again to Dave for offering this up....

Going through the checklist as this one took me awhile-

-Playfield touched and cleared
- 19 light sockets replaced
-All 4 flippers rebuilt (these suck to rebuild)
-All new plastics
-New Power Supply (old one smoked pretty bad)
-New Ni-wumpf CPU (acid damage repaired- spider chip was bad)
-Full LED treatment (purists turn your head)
-Self made stickers for the all the drop targets and spinner
-All connectors repinned (holy balls was that a ton of repinning, way worse than the early Ballys)

Gotta say for anyone on the fence about the Ni-wumpf like I was, just go and get one.... Top 5 high scores, diagnostics, free play, tons of games settings (skill shot, ball save, etc.), these boards are freaking awesome...

Looks great Tim! Sounds like it took a bit of work but glad you could bring a beauty like this back to life! Looking forward to hopefully playing it soon.

That looks really nice, good work. I'll give you $300 if you deliver it.

Don't listen to Dave, he's crazy. I'll go $325 - you shouldn't take a penny less and I'll even pick it up!

That has to be one of the nicest Sinbad machines around. Great work as always, Tim.

You had me until delivery....LOL..... I am still cleaning my shoes off from when I got dog bombed sliding Xmen through your basement window (and that really is as crazy as it sounds, who the hell loads machines through a window?!?!)

Thanks man.... it is already driving me batshit crazy.... I am a live catch/cradle player.... Ain't happening on this thing...

Also forgot one other cool feature to the ni wumpf... Wanna play late at night and not wake the family with the chimes? Ni-wumpf allows you to disable them quickly in the menu...Just really well thought out...

Wait......Does this mean there is a machine in your basement that isn't in pieces and is actually playable besides IJ?

10 total machines right now.... the balance is starting to sway....I am at 50% working now...

You can actually play Black Rose, World Cup Soccer, Indiana Jones, Haunted House, and now Sinbad.... The times are a changing my friend...

Oh and bring your dollars, I have zero doubt Sinbad will end up being the king of dollar games...
