Description
Gotlieb electromechanical SINBAD (very good condition), restored:
Gotlieb's Sinbad four-player electromechanical pinball machine was loosely based on the Columbia Pictures film "Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger" (1977).
Gotlieb had just been bought out by Columbia Pictures, and Sinbad represented one of the first attempts at synergy between a Columbia licence and its new pinball division. Electromechanical versions for two
and electronic four-player versions were also produced, entitled Eye of the Tiger and Sinbad respectively.
The rules remain the same for both electromechanical versions, but differ slightly from the electronic version.
