1977 Gottlieb "Jacks Open" Wedgehead Pinball Machine

[@colorman4490]

Very nice. I like the add a ball cousin ‘Lucky Hand’ better with the Wows and the 1110 point rollovers with the awesome triple chime.

Thanks! Yes, I have a Lucky Hand in my permanent collection, and I kept it, instead of the Jacks Open, for all the reasons you list. Both are fantastic games, but I like the functionality - and that great triple chime - on Lucky Hand the best.

PLEASE let me know if you ever come across another Jacks Open...Been wanting one of these for a long time

[@thegottliebguy]

Will do. I also have the Add-a-Ball version of this game (quite rare) Lucky Hand. If I ever decide to sell it I can also notify you on that one.

I recall playing this in my local Fish n Chip shop way back. Easy to get free games which would entail the shop owner proceeding to turn the machine off 🤣

About to buy one of these this weekend, does the back box fold down for transport?

[@thegottliebguy]

no, on these oldGottliebs, they unbolt from the head, and you have to unplug one or more Jones plugs and then the head comes off. Be sure that head is protected when you transport it because the back glass is probably the most important, and sometimes irreplaceable, part of the game.

Okay, thank you! Excited as this will be my first pinball machine. Appreciate your help! 👍🏻

How do I contact you to purchase?

[@thegottliebguy]

Hi Mike, although this particular title sold already, I do sell games regularly. The best way to contact me is at [e-mail] . I also encourage folks to follow this KZbin channel, as I always post a new video when I have a restoration ready to sell.
