“Jacks To Open” is a Mylstar (AKA: Gottlieb) remake of a 1977 Gottlieb pinball machine called “Jacks Open”. It’s basically the same machine with a face lift and solid state guts instead of electro mechanical. I guess the drop target arrangement is slightly different as well.

Funny thing, the previous machine I bought before this one was Big Guns – the pinball machine with the massive backbox. This is the opposite. The backbox on this pinball machine is very thin and tiny.

The cabinet paint on this machine is pretty crazy.
