1977
Gottlieb's "Jacks Open" One of the very best card themed pinball
machines ever made by any manufacture. Gottlieb's last single player
(popular wedgehead cabinet) card themed electromechanical pinball
machine. In 1978 the year after Jacks Open was made pinball went
digital, pinball machines started talking and the world lost
something special. Pinrescue has restored this Jacks Open with care
(completed Feb 2010)for a long happy life in your gameroom. Gottlieb
had a long tradition of single player card games like 1939 Gin
Rummy, 1955 Easy Aces, 1957 Aces High, 1957 Royal Flush, 1960 Spot a
Card, 1963 Sweet Hearts, 1965 Kings and Queens, 1967 King of
Diamonds, 1969 Spin a Card, 1971 Flip a card, 1972 Drop a Card, 1974
Top Card culminating in the last of the line this 1977 Jacks Open,
in Pinrescue opinion one of the best they ever made and the end of
an era. I the year this gorgeous Jacks Open left the factory The NYC
blackout of 1977 lasts for 25 hours, resulting in looting and other
disorder. Very good chance this machine will not blackout as it has
been carefully rebuilt (Oct 2009) and is the youngest we at
Pinrescue restore.
Great resetting drop targets feature: make the Jacks and the drop
targets reset and you need the Queens: make the Queens and you need
a Full House.on up to the Royal Flush twice for a free game. Plus
free games for high scores up to 199,999 classic pinball machine.
Quality restored vintage pinball machines are a fun investment
you and your family can enjoy everyday. Muscle Cars from this era
are bringing 6 figures when done right. Pinball machines may follow
suit as the demand is booming (read Baby Boomers) and the supply of
good working restored games is
limited. Just where did the cool guys drive those Cuda's, Camaro's
and Mustang's to back in 1970's? Straight to the local 7/11, Soda
Shop, mall or bowling alley to play "Jacks Open". Doyle Brunson won
the World Series of Poker "Main Event" beating out 33 other players
in 1977. I guess poker has really boomed since then as this years
2009 event had over 6,000 entries!
Pinrescue only works on pre 1977 pinball machines like this nice
"Jacks Open" we don't do digital pinball or video games. If you want
a vintage pinball machine don't settle for a cosmetically
challenged not restored eBay nightmare that may never ring a bell
and you will hate.
