Not much to go by, a bad drawing, and a short description. The drawing was in the middle top of the PF and the lines were rollover type switches with a big, non-bumping, bumper in the middle. Through out the PF there were other roll overs with the numbers by them, after all the numbers were lit up, the red inserts near the numbers would alternate randomly, due to scoreing I think and if you hit a lit number you got a speacial. It was a 5-ball machine, all 5 were in the game, with a plunger that was pushed to load the balls into the shooter lane then shot. 3 digit scoring with, I believe a, 1000 lamp for carry over. Played this as a kid where I used to get my papers for my route in late 60's early 70's. I thought it was called rotation, but those that come up on IPDB aren't it. Any ideas???

This game was a single player model with only 1's, 10's, annd 100's reels. It had a ball server like a bingo machine to put 1 of it's 5 balls into the shooter lane from under the shooter lane. the drawing is very crude as I'm no artist. There was 12 rollovers around the middle that would light, or put out the light, I think, as you hit them.


The place also had another machine that had a clown, full sized on the play field. I remember one of his shoes was right by the flipper and had "barking dogs" printed above it, the flipper used to chatter like a lose coil wire or bad EOS, we thought it was funny, like it was barking!!

This is bugging me to remember!!!

There is a fixed bumper in the middle of the "clock" looking thing, it was not a clock. radiating out from the bumper were rollovers that activated switches for the individually numbered lamps. Thanks for helping... I'm sure the combined experience here will figure this out!
 
We have a winner!!!!!! Thanks Raikus! I still don't remember the elevator and doors but the rollover layout with the #'s 1-12 and the dual outlanes surely ring the bell!
One of these just came up for sale nearby and I wasn't even going to look at it. Might have to head out and look now, if I can sell one of mine to make room!! The seller is asking alot though, $1400. :(

There's one for sale on rgp, seller is in Brick, NJ (and can deliver to the York show) for $1200 OBO. I just checked it out and remembered this thread, knew it was the game but too late to win the prize. :(

Good luck and enjoy the ride!! The Silverball Museum is excellent; may want to set aside at least a few ours there.
