1974 Gottlieb SKY JUMP pinball machine

[@Cyberdong]

Great example of old-school machine with so much space between the flippers, and easy outside lanes.

Actually with a little bit of shaking and good flipper skills, the flippers are close enough you can prevent every loss through the center. Even if you blunder and do let it slip through the center, the ball can bounce off the metal bottom sides and if you are skilled and ready for it you can snag it with the flipper and "bring it back from death."

Nice Machine I played that at the arcade in 1983 when I was 9

For an old school electromechanical this one looks pretty good. Can’t say for sure if I’ve ever played it. Thanks for posting it. 🏆

Great video. Never played that machine.

[@jayducharme]

That’s in beautiful condition! The playfield looks very similar to Gottlieb’s classic Royal Flush.

[@londonpinball]

The drop target bank is similar, but higher up the playfield on Royal Flush/Card Whiz. Those games also don't have as many lanes. Also check out Sharp Shooter for another game with a similar drop target bank.

@@londonpinball and similar upper section too, and that simple and strange 50.000 bonus place

Hey, thanks! That's really kind of you to say! Welcome aboard!

I played the free ball version called Free Fall when it first came out. I'm sure I got about 1.7 million on it. Played for hours on one game. Every time the star was lit, a pink lit drop target would score an extra ball so I could rack up the Balls To Play counter to 10 if I was very successful. The pink lit targets would light up for either targets 1-4 or 4-7 and it would toggle between those two choices, so hitting a target you already got the rollover number for, when it was pink would score 5,000 points; if you didn't have the rollover number already and it was pink, you'd get 500 points. There was a little stick pin underneath the upper #1 rollover so the ball wouldn't go straight down to the rollover below right away, it would bounce the ball to the right a little then the ball would roll into the lower rollover.

Not much to shoot from the left, actually a good point, even though I would expect that you can get a few of those drops with it and maybe even in a safer way than a right would be ? Hope some day to find one in the wild to try it out. Thanks once again for sharing and caring for these wonderful machines.

[@whiskyguzzler982]

I use the left plenty shooting at the 6 lane. This really is a game of two modes - getting those lane lights, then getting the drop targets.

[@whiskyguzzler982]

This makes the 1 and the 3 even more important to get early. You don’t want a drain down the side to complete the lane lights!

I found your channel by chance and I honestly liked your content I subscribed to your channel and continued with more tables, especially the old ones, including the tables of the sixties and seventies It's my favorite , especially the task of each table and the sounds effects Please make videos explaining the tasks in the tables and play it How I wish that an Android game would be programmed and put all the old tables ( 50's 60's 70's tables ) and the player could download any table and play with it on the phone Overall, thank you

I have that machine. Its in 95% condition of its original released state. You could also have a great machine but you need to fix all the paint peeled off on your back glass.
