Football

Description

I purchased this arcade game in 1998 from an Auction house in Atlanta, Georgia. I was told it was extremely rare and came from a prominent museum collection that the auction house had recently acquired. I have not been successful in locating information about this game. The game is English and the oak cabinet is 61 high x 44 wide. I like to think of this as an early foosball game. There are eleven footballsoccer players including two goalies on each team each player is dressed in their original knit soccer jersey There are 3 flippers per player on the left 3 flippers on the right side of the cabinet. One controls the front, one the middle and one the far side of the field. There is also a center round control knob, also on the front of the cabinet that is used to release the soccer ball back into the field of play. The backdrop of the game is a painting of the stadium grandstands. The game was once coinoperated but has been modified to play without coins. I also have an Ahrens Marathon Cycle Race arcade game. I attempted to upload a photo of this game to this website. I was not successful. If someone would contact me to explain what Im doing wrong, I would be happy to upload a picture of both rare Chas. Ahrens arcade games. You may contact me via email if you have any questions.
