I've googled the crap out of this toy and can't find it anything that looks remotely like it. When I was growing up in the 80's I got a toy for xmas and I'll describe it as follows:
The case was a wooden box. Maybe 14"x14"x5" and inside the box was a steel ball that you had to transport from the entry point, through a series of challenges, to the exit point. It was not the typical 2 axis platform maze, but rather an obstacle course style set of challenges that happened in succession. The idea was to prevent the ball from falling off the transport mechanisms into the bottom of the box where you'd be disqualified. There were several hand controls across the front of the box that operated each individual challenge. I don't remember every challenge but I do remember there was a triple teeter-toter style challenge that required good tempo. Another was a maze and the last challenge was a catapult type challenge.
Does anyone remember this toy? I'd like to get one for my kids for xmas to show them what daddy used to play with before there were playstations. haha
