    Default Eleco SINBAD ADVENTURE What location for the CMOS battery? Losing date etc

    Hi. Was wondering if anybody knows the location of the CMOS battery on an Eleco Sinbad Adventure, I assume its a lithium button cell? Machine is basically not remembering date on power down and consequently not holding its stats of payout versus coins in which highly impacts on gameplay due to its compensated probability payouts. Ive checked this morning and played through about 500 tokens of which the stats clearly show 500 in and not holding previous coins in and out, so you can basically have to sit through hours shovelling coins in to get a big bonus etc. Ive had this machine for about 8 years so I guess battery is kaput. Thanks in anticipation of an answer. Malc

    I thought most machines use a capacitor to hold the memory for approx one week, due to the way the machiens were being used originally, It makes more sense to fit a component that costs pennies and not pounds.

    As to location. there have been some threads about it, but as to which caps to replace. No idea
