  1. Glenn, Try Wordpress.com for your website. It has been around for a very long time. What I use for the museum's website. nefgm.org. What the MFCA used for their website. Very easy to use. Make A Free Website | Free Website Builder | WordPress.com
  2. You can by disc magnets from most any Office Supply store, Craft Store or Lowe's and Home Depot. Simply cut the prongs from a base and glue the magnet underneath. Amazon.
  3. Try Staples. I think they can make vinyl decals. At least at one time I think they could. There are also a lot of online sticker and decal makers now days.
  4. Found this in my files today. Mulder and Webster EFL.pdf
  5. Awesome Glenn!! Real name: Chris LeMay aka eflfanatic on the chat boards for a long time. Started the Museum when I retired 4 years ago. I remember your website well. Spent many hours reading about your leagues and all the great information there.
  6. I have bought several things from golfingcowboy. Long time seller on ebay.
  7. You can use PowerPoint to create decals.
  8. My custom painted Creamsicle Buccaneers.
  9. GreenBayGlenn and Ravenna Al, great to see you guys posting again. We can all certainly benefit from your experiences with the game.
  10. Not sure exactly when the terms "adjust" and "pivot" began to be commonly used but An "adjust" is picking up a player and turning the dial on its TTC base (or brushing the prongs on a rookie base) and then placing the player back on the field in the exact same spot and orientation. Here are some other terms used in TOC Rules Pivots: 1. To turn the player on his axis from the rear of the base. You cannot lift the player. 2. If you have a TTC dial it can be turned blindly without lifting the player. Motions (Advanced Pivots): 1. Moving the player from one place to another (slot to backfield etc.). 2. To lift the player up and adjust the TTC dial visually (player need not be moved from one place to another). 3. Turning the player from the front of the base (changes the angle as if you were actually moving the player). 10 4. Double Motion of a Wide Receiver - Moving one player from the LOS and having another player go to the LOS. The original 1949 rules of electric football allowed for the turning to point in another direction (but not moving) of offensive backs after the offense and defense were set. The position of offensive lineman could not be changed and defensive players could not be moved once set up. These are just some quick observations to hopefully answer your question.
  11. GreenBayGlenn, Glad to see you are active and back in the hobby. Check out my website if you haven't already. The National Electric Football Game Museum
  12. Here is a very simple set or procedures for game play posted by a Coach on Facebook. Solitaire Electric Football Procedures Coaches, after a couple of years gathering information, I have found a set of procedures that allow me to simulate actual football. The procedures allow for Offensive motions and shifts, Offensive play development, and Defensive read and react. Using these procedures I can run plays from Single Wing, Triple Option, through Air Raid. The game is a multi-stop system that allows for strategy and read and react by the Offense and Defense. Also, since there are options involved in every play the Defense must cover whatever they see developing. Note: Along with the multi-stop action, teams are allowed 2 stationary players during board runs. Scrimmage Play Procedures 1. Set up Offensive formation and Defensive scheme. 2. Audible; Offense may pivot, motion, or shift one player. Defense does not get to adjust to a pivot. However, they may adjust to a motion or shift. 3. Snap (First Stop) Offense declares the snap receiver and there is a quick on/off of the board. 4. Offense may adjust 3 players and declares run, pass, or continue. Defense may adjust 3 players. 5. Play continues per the play designation, or the ball is Dead. 6. Play (Second Stop) A 1 second board run. 7. Offense may adjust 3 players and declares run, pass, or continue. Defense may adjust 3 players. 8. Play continues per the play designation, or the ball is dead. 9. Final (Third Stop) A 1 second board run. 10. Offense may adjust 3 players and declares run or pass. Defense may adjust 3 players. 11. Play continues until the ball is dead. Thank you to all the Coaches for sharing their knowledge through posts, rule sets, and videos. Solitaire Coach George
  13. Shawn, yeah, more than I would pay. The one I got was cheaper.
  14. There was another one on ebay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/145150191361?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=H4l6xvR2Q6m&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=c9BbUFDYTMi&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=MORE
  15. Another recent addition to the Musuem. Gotham side line crew. Somewhat rare and hard to find.
  16. The Gale Sayers autograph is printed. The Don Kingston autograph is real. The significance of "Kevin's Field" Some other interesting things to note.
  17. A recent acquisitions of the Musuem. 1978 Gale Sayers Football Board Game In addition to Electric Football, I collect other football board games. It is in very good condition. Play results are determined using a deck of regular playing cards. Here is a reference pic of the game in the book "Retro Football Games" by Steve Anderson. Apparently, the original deck of cards (which is missing from the game) had a graphic backing of the Gale Sayers graphic used on the cover of the box. All in all, a very nice-looking game and looks like it would be fun to play.
  18. Beenutt can make any decals you want. You just have to ask.
  19. Don't remember if I have posted this before, but just in case here it is again. This is from a board game at a time when the play clock was 30 seconds. It could easily be adapted to today's 40 second play clock.
  20. There are people who can make decals for any team. Pricey some times but worth it if that is really what you want. I used to print my own decals by adding the background color and trying to match as closely as possible and then painting as close as possible to the white areas so that if the color was off it was unnoticible as possible.
  21. Here's is another interesting and cool uniform site. Thanks to Greg Davis for posting this on Facebook. Gridiron Garb 1956 Rhode Island Rams for my upcoming Yankee Conference league. They only wore white jerseys that year and had the strange combo of helmet stripes and ram horns. Thanks to the great Gridiron Garb for inspiration! I did a lot of research to get a proper starting lineup.
