Sinbad Questions????

[taco]

I was planning on buying a Sinbad Adventure but I have been reading past posts about them having problems with reels. What exactly is this problem and should I go with another machine?

[luckydog]

some have had reel leds burn out, I have Sinbad Adventure and Monkey Magic, both similar and have had no problems

[taco]

Is this something hard to repair?

Is this something hard to repair?

I have the Sindbad and Have not had any LEDs go out yet. I also have the Hanabi Hyakkei that is the same machine inside only a year older and it is starting to show some of the LEDs off color. The fix is about $20 to 25 in parts and some soldering. The fix is on some threads for Beast Sap Machines that are the same inside. I would not of missed my Sindbad even knowing that I might have to work on it in the future. I love it.

Its not a huge problem at all.. The LEDs on my Beast Sapp all started going within a week, so I have replaced them with White ones.

The cost is almost nothing.. The LEDs cost £4.25 for 20 (Approx $7.50) and you need to change 18 of them. The only thing is that you need to be average with a soldering iron to do the 'upgrade', but its not difficult by any means.

Good luck

I haven't had any issues yet... Crossing fingers I have had my Sinbad for about 5 months now

don't let that problem scare you off, Sindad Adventure is a great machine.

My favorite pachislo

I think Sinbad Adventure is under rated. Of all the models I've played its got to be one of the best pachislo machines out there.

and if you love Sinbad Adventure, you will love Monkey Magic too!!!!!!

It's become a very hard machine to find.

Get the Sinbad! Its fantastic one of the best. I put it up there with SpinLuck and Dragon Dice. I have even replaced my LEDs and trust me its a machine worth owning.

What Eddie won't put it up there with MILLION GOD !!!!! your right chaz it is under rated its a million and one times better than million god .....

[Eddie]

Nothing comes close to Million GOD!

Never had a problem with my hanabi

[alstonj1]

you will my friend you will its just a matter of time and temperature .... but its easy to fix so don't fret over it ....

spikescot,

As Jeff said, you almost certainly will.. Infact, if you look closely, you might find that you have 'some pairs' out alreay.. I noticed mine first with a pair of yellows, which soon became a mixture of blues, yellows and whites.

However, for the first time, think youself lucky that you are in the UK. Replacement LEDs are easy to come by and at £4.50 inc shipping, they are a bargain too.

Fingers crossed that yours don't fail too soon, but when they do, rest assured that there is a solution ready for you.

All the best

Jon
