Sky Jump Pinball Machine for Sale

Sky Jump is parachute styled pinball machine, built in 1974 by popular pinball machine maker Gottlieb.

This is one of Gottlieb’s famous wedge head single player games

This pinball machine has a great set of rules.  There are 7 number rollovers, and each one lights up 1 drop target.  There is a pink light that makes the score 10X when lit, so when you have the drop target lit with both lights, that target is worth 5000 points. While this game contains high reward, it does come with high risk as well.

When you get all 7 rollovers, the drop target that has both lights is worth a special.  A very fun and challenging pinball game.
