Need to Know the name of this Toy

[dreamer]

In the 1970's I had this toy which I simply can't remember the name of.

It had a tower in which a Ballbearing travelled to the top via a spiral, which was battery operated. Once it got the top it dropped onto three seperate rubber drums bouncing on each one and was then caught in a final tub (I Think).

Please help me find the name of this or more details about this toy.

This vaguely rings a bell..

Was it like waist height when on the floor?

Snap together construction?

I Remember the tower thing you had to put together, think that stood about 2 Foot high, The rubber drums were about the size of a side plate, they had a rubber covering pulled tight and fastened onto small pegs around the outside.
