Item description

As far as I've been able to tell, there seems to have been only 3 of these games produced--a 2-player version (seen in promo photos) and two 4-player versions. I found no documentation nor anyone who has been able to confirm how many examples of this game were actually built.

This is a full-sized Roy Clark themed pinball machine made by Allied Leisure which never went into production. It was later re-themed as Hoe Down with all the Roy Clark references removed.

I replaced all the fuse holders, and this game boots, flips, and plays a full game.

On the back door, the hole for the lock was damaged and the hole is too big for a new lock.

The cabinet has some scrapes on one side.

This includes a box of Allied Leisure playfield parts.

pretty cool, looks like it uses the same board and code as all of the Allied Leisure cocktails.

IPMD just used your images for this title on the main sight - too good.

I played Rock On(Dynomite) at the PHOF in Vegas and it was surprisingly playable.
If you can keep the pin running, and more importantly get it going, this may be quite worth having.

I know, I submitted them

Most of the Allied Leisure games actually flip pretty well. The rules just aren't usually enough to keep someone interested for too long in a small collection.

It's certainly a unique example you won't find anywhere else.

Thats a shame,I have the hoe down version of this game with a bad board. I put so much time into it and never did get it going. A bad board ,so now it sits. I dont know what its worth not working.

A craigslist adventure. I pulled it out of an upscale house in a quiet neighborhood. The owner said they won it in a radio contest sometime in the 80s.

I saw this game at the 1976 MOA trade show (they hadn't yet changed the name to AMOA). I don't specifically recall that I saw the 4-player, but I think a 2-player would have stood out in my memory. I definitely recall that it was a standard pinball cabinet, not a cocktail table. This may be that very game from the show!

Very interesting. Would be amazing to find some pictures/video of the show and pair it with this game. A great chance for someone to grab a rare piece of coin op history.

Roy Clark was largely before my time, but if you have never seen him play I strongly recommend this short 3 minute clip.

He makes Dragonforce music look like childsplay. Cool looking game.

I had a conversation with someone last year who said they played the game on location several times at the old MGM hotel in Las Vegas (before the name changed to Bally's Las Vegas hotel in 1986). He thought it may have been the 2-player game that was there, but wasn't sure.

I've got a Hoe Down glass hanging on my ceiling and often thought it was Roy Clark in disguise. Turns out I was right....LOL. Cool and thanks for posting. Did you sell the game?

Yep--they recycled the Super Picker design and made Hoe Down a couple years later, replacing Roy Clark's name & likenesses that were on the playfield and backglass.

Quoted from Dayhuff:

Not yet. It's still available.

There are several excellent clips of Roy on Youtube, the man was an amazing player.

Those spare displays are not for this game and look to be the 5 digit plasma displays used in the Dynomite/Rock-on/Boogie and Thunderbolt upright pins.
The ones installed in the game look to be LED. I believe they used LED instead of plasma for all of the games that had the three 6530 processor boards (Hoe-Down and the cocktails) .

You're right--I didn't catch that. I'll take them out.

Updated the count to 3 known examples of this game. A second 4-player version surfaced recently. Still an ultra-rare title, though!

I think people are just too focused on the latest Stern LEs.

Only a quantity of 3 confirmed? That's a true LE.

Have you considered buying the other two pins, destroying them, and then selling this only surviving example for $250k?
