No Skill Level Key Sinbad,reset Help.

[greg]

CAN ANYONE HELP AS I HAVE HAD NO SKILL LEVEL KEY SINCE PURCHASE OF A SINBAD ADVENTURE,IF THE HOPPER EVER PAYS SHORT IS THERE A WAY TO STILL BE ABLE TO RESET IF NEEDED?,WITHOUT THE KEY I ASSUME I CANT FIND WHAT LEVEL THE MACHINE IS ON EITHER,ANY INFORMATION IS GREATLY APPRECIATED.THANKS .

My Sinbad will default to level #1(the tightest odds) if it is unplugged for a long time(months).
If you need to reset for an empty hopper, just turn the door key to the left.
You will want to be able to reset the odds....so try to find a key that will work in the reset. Most of the time the tumblers are out of the locks so all you will need is to find a key that will fit in far enough to turn. Your supplier should have a extra key.

THANKS FOR THE HELP,THE KEY I WAS GIVEN WAS INCORRECT,SO I WONDERED AFTER TRYING A COUPLE OF OTHERS ,IF A PHOTO OF SOMEONE ELSES KEY MAY HELP DETERMINE THE SHAPE OR ARE THERE MANY VARIATIONS OF INNER KEY PERHAPS,I COULD REALLY DO WITH ADJUSTING SKILL LEVEL AS THE MACHINE TAKES SO MANY TOKENS BETWEEN BONUSES,THANKS AGAIN GREG.

are you putting the key in the right slot, you can always replace it with a regular toggle switch.

[greg]

YES,RIGHT SLOT,AND ACTUALLY GOT KEY TO FIT!SEEMS THE INNER OF THE SLOT WAS SLIGHTLY STUCK,PROBLEM NOW IS SIMPLY GETTING SKILL LEVEL TO ALTER FROM 1 AS USUAL PROCEEDURE NOT EFFECTIVE,WHEN I PRESS THE BUTTON ON THE DOOR AFTER TURNING KEY.THANKS FOR THE PICTURE THE KEY WAS CORRECT ALL ALONG!,GOT POPEYE AND MAGIC PULSAR BESIDES BUT WONDER , WHAT COULD COMPETE OR BETTER THESE IF ANY WITH BIG LCD SCREEN? MANY THANKS TO ALL.GREG.

with machine off, turn odds key, turn on machine,

press odds button to skill level, press down on joystick for a few seconds,

leave machine on and turn odds key off and you should be good to go.

That's how to set the odds.
Sinbad is very streaky.
I've gone for hours without hitting a BB and I hit like 6 in a row too.
If you see the big hedgehog or lizard or the winmoon, you have a BB right around the corner. I have eyeshot a few right out of the blue too.

If the Key won't work I have seen posts about people changing out the key for a rocker switch. One of my machines actually has this as a reset and odds changing technique...it works well.
