    Default Help with my Sinbad Pinball

    Hi, my Sinbad pinball is not working. It seems like it should be something simple. When it starts up, all of the lights come on and everything acts like it is working. I can give credits by pushing the lever...and then when I push the start button it makes the sound like it does when it starts, but nothing happens. No flippers, no ball, no reset of targets, nothing...and the credit doesn't go away. If I restart, the credit goes away. Any ideas? I have family in and we would really like to play. Thanks in advance!

    are all of the fuses good?that would be the best place to start.it sounds like you may not have solenoid voltage.

    There were 2 bad fuses. When we replaced them, at first when we turned it on it didn't even want to reset. It finally reset and ...nothing. I flicked the ball into the lane and the game reset and worked. all of the targets went up, and it acts like it workd. However, two rollover lanes and the two circle targets don't score and even if you knock the 3x 4x and 5x targets down it, only recognizes the 2x...and you have to flip the ball back into the shooter lane by hand. Ideas.

    I assume that this is a Gottlieb Sinbad. There are however two versions, one solid state and the other Electro mechanical. Which one do you have? Makes a big difference as to what to recommend. If it is the solid state model you most likely have a connector issue. Did this machine ever work while you had it or is it new to you in its present state?
