All the years I have seen a Sky Jump Machine, this is the very first time i have seen one played. I know why I never played one as there is no cup for a coin to collect any winnings. As a schoolboy at our local fair there was only one Sky Jump in the whole fair. ( There were 4 arcades ) and I can honestly say I never saw anyone play it. I can see from your great video that it has the attraction somewhat like a Payramid. Once you start it can be addictive although a lot better when it's your machine and it cost nothing to play. A simple idea with virtually nothing to go wrong. Thanks for an informative video and it has only taken me 68 years to find out the playing of a Sky Jump.

Excellent Rob. I've always liked these. Jeremy

Fantastic Rob Thanks for sharing.

I kind of wish this mechanism had an industry-wide name that everyone agreed on. :) The most common game like this is Groetchen's version, Skill Jump, from 1939. The earliest game I've ever found that uses this mechanism is a German game, Bomber by Elfriede Jebens in 1936

Great video and a great game to add to any collection but a very poor machine to operate in a penny arcade

Great game. Great video.

Nice machine Rob.

Very nice Rob, these are great machines. I had one for around 25 years but sold it 5 or 6 years ago. Actually, yours could be the one I sold - did you buy it from Peter?

Never seen one it's a jem rob the key man has little to repair thanks
