1977 Gottlieb's "Jacks Open" The very best card themed pinball
machine ever
made by any manufacture freshly
restored by Pinrescue late February 2023. Gottlieb's
last single player with drop targets card themed
electromechanical pinball machine.
During 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 game room.
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, 19 7 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. In 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 (Feb
2023) 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 199,990 and end of game match. Jacks Open is a true
classic pinball machine.
Quality
restored vintage pinball machines are a fun investment you and your family can enjoy every day. 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
year's 2014 WSOP main 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.
Good condition original playfield, pretty good original
art glass and beautiful original cabinet, nice condition Jacks Open
freshly restored (January 2015) all new: flippers,

pinball machine and one of the best titles Clean as can be inside

playing every day.
