Jumpin' Jack's
Williams, 1963I have not been looking to add an EM to my line-up at all but a buddy of mine just texted me a photo from a second-hand store locally with one for sale.
I don't anything about it and am not even sure what they are asking. I figured I'd at least ask for some input. Generally speaking I don't think I'm at all interested but was curious to see what others thought.
Thanks,
Darin
I have never played Jumpin' Jacks but Williams games from the early 60s are very well built and take a certain amount of skill to play. I have one from that era and am constantly on the hunt for more.
If you prefer games with long ball times, ball saves, and all the other modern conveniences, then this may not be the game for you. But if it was me, I'd go down there and check it out, because I like them all!
My buddy Vic Camp had one once. I thought it was pretty cool. Nice big boobie chicks in tight outfits. Too bad they have goofy rabbit ears on. He sold to someone overseas. I've only seen one other one. If it's cheap you should grab it.
I think they're asking $1500 which seems way out of the park for what I'd be willing to spend. A couple hundred? Sure. But no way (at least for me) am I willing to spend that much.
It seems I have the Jumpin Jack's in question... from the Karma Thrift Store? When I looked at it they were asking $800 for a non working machine, down from $1600-ish as I recall. I offered $350 and the manager accepted.
My first EM.... cleaned a bunch of contacts and cleaned/lubed several mechanics and it works pretty good now.
btw, anyone got a clear pic of the 25 cent relay?
