Hi Everyone! I was hoping to see if anyone would recognize the description of the following machine - my father-in-law recalls playing it during his younger years, and wants to purchase one, but he can't for the life of him remember the name of it.

He described it to me as a 70's era machine, and the backglass features elephant(s) in tutus. No description on the playfield itself, unfortunately

I've tried on several occasions to Google it based on his description, but I haven't found anything that matches so far.

If anyone knows the name of this machine or could provide any leads, I'd greatly appreciate it!

I appreciate the quick responses!

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like Circus was it; I showed him the picture to jog his memory, but he said that wasn't it; he recalls a number of elephants, possibly 8 or so (not sure if that was just the backglass or including the playfield).

Apologies for the vague details, but like he said, this was 50 years ago lol

We have a winner! It actually ended up being "Jungle King", he mis-remembed the lights as tutus (sorry for the misleading details!) He said they affectionately referred to the game as "Elephant's Asses", which is the only name he ever remembered it as.

Thanks for all the responses, he was tickled pink to be able to see the machine again after all these years. This forum is fantastic
