About This Machine

Sky Jump is a rare and intriguing electro-mechanical pinball machine from Procedimientos Electromagnéticos de Tanteo y Color (Petaco, S.A.), a Madrid-based manufacturer that operated between 1962 and 1977. While its exact year of production remains unknown, Sky Jump's unique theme and gameplay features set it apart as a noteworthy addition to the pinball collector's community.

The machine's electromechanical design offers a distinct contrast to later solid-state and computerized pinballs. Players navigate the gameplay through a series of challenging objectives, including hitting flippers, pop bumpers, slingshots, and standup targets, all while aiming for the 7-bank drop target. This interplay between mechanical components and player skill requires strategy and finesse, making Sky Jump an engaging and entertaining experience for pinball enthusiasts.

The Parachuting - Sports - Skydiving theme is a notable aspect of Sky Jump's design, reflecting the manufacturer's focus on action-packed, thrill-seeking activities popular in the 1960s. The artwork and graphics on the machine's cabinet are likely to be of interest to collectors due to their rarity and insight into the style of Spanish pinball manufacturers from this era.
