  • Sinbad: pops rebuilt, cab metal installed, playfield in

    Sinbad: pops rebuilt, cab metal installed, playfield in

    Got the pops reassembled — they look great and will perform so much better with the new coil sleeves, clean switches, and all the gunky buildup removed.  Hit all the cabinet metal with Mother’s and then a light waxing. The lockdown bar receiver is very much improved, all rust was removed with the exception of…

  • Sinbad: rebuilding flipper mechs

    Sinbad: rebuilding flipper mechs

    Got most of the way through rebuilding these flippers but I pooped out. Realizing I still have quite a lot to do on the underside. I want to put new coil sleeves on the pop bumpers and I have to put back a bunch of switches and the rollover switch wires too. I don’t think…

  • Sinbad drops completed

    Sinbad drops completed

    Completed the drop targets today, but the long one took forever because I didn’t take enough photos and spent an hour trying to figure out why it wasn’t going together right, only to realize I had the bottom pice of the cage upside down 🙁 Also confirmed I had the springs wrong on the first…

    First time rebuilding drop targets

    Finally mustered up the courage to start rebuilding the drops on Sinbad. I started with the single bank of four. Disassembled most of it and then cleaned everything thoroughly.

    Sinbad progress

    Over the last couple of nights I have been working through lots of small tasks. Cleaned inserts under the playfield, rebulbed the underside. Put the cabinet buttons back in after cleaning the inside. Tumbled some more metal parts from flipper mechs and inside cab. Cleaned all the flipper parts in the ultrasonic. Cleaned the wood…

  • Sinbad: four flipper breakdown and more

    Sinbad: four flipper breakdown and more

    Pulled all the flipper mechs. They were sticky and dirty and disgusting. Definitely needing the treatment i’m giving them. Also pulled out most of the metal parts from inside the cabinet to derust and clean. I had cleaned the top of the lockdown bar receiver in place but it seemed prudent to give it a…

  • Sinbad: cleaning, waxing, spraying, polishing

    Sinbad: cleaning, waxing, spraying, polishing

    Spent a good deal of time cleaning and scrubbing these metal pieces. There were a number of small rust spots on most of these and a some general corrosion. I still need to polish and wax them but they are super shiny and wonderful already. Naptha cleaned the playfield, then waxed it four times. Also…
