4 player EMs are alot of work to get going, but once they are right they are reliable like any good EM. Its a great game, I am not sold on the position of the pop bumpers/no slingshots. This is one game that you need to shake the living daylights out of, to keep it from draining.
Definately a fun and challenging game  () Collectors wont sell good examples of jack in the box, or the 2 player Jumping Jack. I reckon 1500 private here for a sweet example, so maybe 1800 WA? A dealer could charge 3k easily, especially in WA for this collectable title.

An AWESOME title. The layout reminds me of King Pin. Look for wear around the upper outholes - very common. Play a 4 player game on the machine just to ensure it works 100% - most faults on these are with the player unit / score reels and they are always easy fixes. Hopefully it comes with schematics. Price ? Depends on condition, and these don't come up for sale very often as collectors hold on to this title. I agree with Greg - $1500 for a nice example - Collector's condition - $2000 +

Haven't seen a 'Jack in the box' since playing when I was ALOT younger. I do like the PF layout and it would be a classic machine to restore and own. Go for it if in reasonable condition. *%*

yeah been told that i can get that much but being 2hrs from perth makes it a burden for some people i have found


if she sells going to look at a local EM and will have change to hopefully secure another

A Jumping Jack sold on eBay a few weeks back for just over $900.00.

I have one that I purchased for $700.00 not working a few years back.  So I would think it only worth between $1000.00 to $1500.00 tops depending on condition.

It is a great EM game to play, especially if you like TARGET games.
