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.

Quoted from ejg10532626:
IPMD just used your images for this title on the main sight - too good.

I know, I submitted them

Quoted from ejg10532626:
I played Rock On(Dynomite) at the PHOF in Vegas and it was surprisingly playable.

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.

Quoted from ejg10532626:
If you can keep the pin running, and more importantly get it going, this may be quite worth having.

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

Quoted from Jesterfunhouse:
Where the heck did you find this obscurity I would love to know the backstory...

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.

Quoted from dmarston:
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!

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.

Quoted from Dayhuff:
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.

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:
Did you sell the game?

Not yet. It's still available.

Quoted from kbliznick:
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.

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

[edit]: ~~Relisted separately here: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/fs-allied-leisure-display-glass~~ SOLD

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

Quoted from arcyallen:
Every time I see this listed I think "Come on man, you can do this! Sell this baby!"

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

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

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