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. Restoration completed Sept 2011.
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. 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
(Sept 2011) 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 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 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 2011 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.

glass and cabinet freshly installed (Sept
2011) all new: drop targets, flippers, pop
