So apparently the game ends if you sit down and drink scotch. Get back up and it timed out or my wife sabotaged it.

That’s a very nice first ball and unfortunate but at least you had a scotch and took a picture.
Jet Spin was my first game and start of the pinball disease for me. Fun game and love the thump, thump, thump of the bonus countdown. I just wish they would have tried to squeeze a small drop target bank in it somewhere giving it pretty much all the playfield targets Gottlieb had to offer. Unfortunately for me my daughter asked for it when she got her own house so I only get to play it once a month or so. 
I would take the top glass off... replicate the score on ball one... put the top glass back on... and play the game out.
EM's don't time out... not that I am aware of anyway.

Yeah, I'm not sure why it didn't want to play when I got back to it. I haven't even played tonight. Got home from work and fell asleep. I need to get my things together for grouse and quail hunting in the morning.
Maybe when I get back tomorrow I'll play ball 1 and then let it sit for 30 min and see if it will continue to play.
It looks like you have a four player game going. Are you sure that the player unit is working properly? Does it go to the next player after the first ball drains?

It works correctly. If you notice, it's on four player in the photograph. I just happen to get a few extra balls on that particular turn.

Quoted from EJS:Set mine up tonight and played for the first time. Wow what a great playfield layout. My flippers and rubber rings are tired but I still had a lot of fun! Going to clean this one up next.

I like the two-player model much better. "Jet Spin" has that huge backbox. Too big!

Nevermind the size (which I agree is huge almost like a bowler) is ….the weight of those heads is crazy. All 4 players of that vintage. Throw in some animation and it’s even more weight. I move my games around a lot (for now) and don’t dare lift the heads alone.

It fits my lineup as it sits next to royal flush spirit of '76 and fast draw. I'll admit my wedge head next to it needs to be with the other wedge heads and maybe put my space odyssey next to fast draw.
