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, machines started talking and the world lost something special. Pinrescue has restored this Jacks Open with care 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.

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!
