Quoted from Otaku:
Ain't nothing like wedgeheads in a row Vic! My collection has moved and isn't set up right now but the best part is when I set it back up I have 4 or 5 more to add to the row. I had a hard time fitting them all is one picture which is also something I am looking forward to changing as I expand my horizons.
Guess who encouraged me to set them up in chronological order. LOL!
Had it even down to the month on games with matching years.
1968 Gottlieb Fun Park
1968 Gottlieb Domino
1969 Gottlieb Spin-A-Card
1969 Gottlieb Mibs
1970 Gottlieb Aquarius
1973 Gottlieb Pro Football
1973 Gottlieb High Hand
1974 Gottlieb Sky Jump
Still to come in the new collection:
1970 Gottlieb Stock Car
1971 Gottlieb 4 Square
1973 Gottlieb King Pin
1977 Gottlieb Team One
Maybe more? I forget if I have any others.
Nabbing 4 Square and King Pin was hard. I don't think it has hit me yet I get to have all those in one spot because I have been seeking 4 Square for years
and never even played it before, still haven't. I am running out of games to want!

Just added a new wedgehead to my lineup. Been looking for a Sky Jump for awhile but when this one showed up for $150 I “jumped” on it! I think it’s the coolest backglass! Good to see you’re back with a new positive vibe, good for you and good luck with your arcade venture.

Quoted from jrpinball:
Man, you scored!

I did. But had to drive over 3 hours. Totally worth it. Needs work but the cabinet, glass and playfield are all 7+ so I’m happy with that.

Quoted from Vic_Camp:
What a find! The backglass looks better than a 7+ in the picture. Post some more pictures of the complete game when you get a chance. I would love to view them. Nice addition to your collection for sure.

Thanks Vic. Having problems with the lockdown bar being frozen. Working on getting it in my house but this ridiculous rain is not helping. I’ll post when I get it loose. Any suggestions to get it freeed up would be appreciated. It’s REALLY frozen/rusted.

Quoted from jrpinball:
Is the locking lever frozen, or just the bar won't pop off after pulling the lever down?

Finally!!! I got the lockdown bar off. It was really rusted. Something was spilled in there. Sprayed PB Blaster under the bar where the pins are and let it sit. Then used a mallet to move the bar back and forth, finally I put a huge adjustable wrench on the lever and it finally budged. Here are the other pictures. Little planking on playfield but no sign of the terrible wear I have seen on other Sky Jumps.

Quoted from boilerman:
not bad looking, should clean up nice. drop plastic not broken...... very uncommon that is a plus

Quoted from jrpinball:
Damn, you beat me to it by a minute!
Was going to say the same thing; drop target plastic isn't broken. Nice game for that cash!

Thanks Dave and Joe, didn't realize that was a problem on Sky Jump. Again thanks to both of you for your infinite wisdom. Learn stuff all the time on here.

In fact, I don't think I've played one before. Never seem to be at the shows I've been at and the Silverball doesn't have one, neither does Vic for that matter.

I'm really excited to get this cleaned up.

Quoted from jrpinball:
Silverball had a "Free Fall". It was a pretty nice copy too as I recall. I haven't been there in quite a while though. They're slowly sliding toward the dark side, so maybe it's gone.

I haven't seen a Freefall there in the past 4 years. A bunch of their machines went down to Florida. Yup, just checked, it's in FL.
