1974 Gottlieb Sky Jump Pinball Repair and Refurb - Part 1 of 5

Decided I needed to work on an EM game for a little variety, so pulled out my Sky Jump for a refurb. This was also my first attempt at a backglass restoration.
The video was pretty long, so I am going to break the video into 5 sections, and then I'll have a combined single video afterward.
The first video covers:
1.General triage of the machine, playfield, backglass.
2.Number 4 rollover doesn't work.
3.10-point and 1000-point chimes don't work.
4.Ball kicks out after the end of a game.
5.Quick cleaning tip for plastics with small grooves in them.

I am purchasing one of these tomorrow. I am so happy to restore one of these.

Thanks for your videos. They are very informative. I have 4 pinball machines and enjoy working on them. My Pro Pool has the same problem when it kicks a dead ball after the game is over. I will try to check and clean the ball counter again.

Hi ! Thank you very much for making that video 🙏 Full of good infos ! Im about to start trying to bring back to life a Sky Jump… I was wondering… Have you got a digital copy or high definition photos of the schematics that you would consider sharing 😬 My original copy is horrible and unreadable 🤦🏼‍♂️ Thank you, Best regards !

My score motor won't stop running. I'm about to pull my hair out (what is left of it).

great job. Is this pin for sale? I grew up playing this game and would love to own one.

Hey bigbusa1, sorry, I don't have the machine any more! But, keep an eye on searchtempest.com for one, you might have luck and find one in your area.

my advise ,, clear coat the original play field ,do not restore it just preserve the patina
