Love the look, love the theme. Not sure how much replay value it has, or how much I should be looking to pay for one in good physical shape, playable, no sounds. Any help would be nice.

Good pin. Get it. Put in a Pi-1 CPU, and enjoy it.
There's one on Ebay in Ohio right now that looks really nice but unrestored for $650. It has a Niwumph board in it already. Personally I would sell that and get a pi-1 since they are pretty much the same cost.

Sinbad is awesome. I sold the last one I restored for $800 and I felt like I could have got more. There are some pictures of the one I sold on ipdb.
I wouldn't rush into throwing boards at it personally. If it comes in working, system 1 can be made fairly reliable with original boards.
My $.02
EDIT: don't worry... I have 2 others to restore and I'll definitely be keeping one of them![]()

No sounds= bad soundboard? That's the only issue it has says the seller.
I would. The Pi-1 unlocks the full potential of the game. Not to mention safeguards galore. The original cpu can always be stored safelt inside the cab.
I will eventually get another sys. 1 game. It will definitely get a Pi-1 regardless of the CPU condition.
...or the sound is disconnected, or it is turned down, or there is a CPU issue...
It uses a chime box. I would be pretty surprised if it had a sound board problem.![]()
OK, chimebox, cool. And if I pick this up, you'll be there to steadily guide my timid, shaking hands as I repair this?

Sinbad shipped with stock chimes? I did not know that. Been a while since I watched the Sys. 1 supershow. Which pin did they introduce the fart board, or was Sinbad just special like that?
I believe you can convert the sys1 games that do have sound boards to chimes right?
Yep. Sure can.
I thought about doing that on my Genie but I was told that the chimes would react too slowly so I didn't.
