Yo-yo with ace spots turned up (3-3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

see-saw

'yo-yo' is the definition.
(both can mean to go up and down)

'with ace spots turned up' is the wordplay.
'with' becomes 'w' (abbreviation).
'ace' becomes 'a' (abbreviation).
'spots' becomes 'sees' (I've seen this in another clue).
'turned up' says the letters should be written backwards.
'w'+'a'+'sees'='wasees'
'wasees' written backwards gives 'SEE-SAW'.

(Another definition for see-saw that I've seen is " Playground item".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
