More "logo less" teams.

Thanks Coach Kit. Have uploaded to the Rules Section of the NEFGM Library on the website.

Yes. EF Artist and Solitaire Coach Ron Mango – The National Electric Football Game Museum (nefgm.org) I have a lot pics of Ron's work in my files. Probably need to post some more. Also have 3 of his hand painted teams that he donated to the museum.

Yeah, LOL. Hadn't noticed. This introduction was actually shot at the end of the reception because the video wasn't recording during the original introduction.

On January 19th, 2023, the Pryor Art Gallery on the campus of Columbia State Community College, Columbia, TN hosted a reception for the "Art of the Buzz" Electric Football Art Exhibit. Thanks to Lisa Hoffman, Curator of the Pryor Art Gallery and the administrators and staff of the college. for allowing us to present this exhibit.

Check out this video by Coach Vinny Stone.

One of the common complaints about electric football throughout its history. Place a towel under it to dampen the noise. If it is sitting on a hard surface, that is why it is louder. Or purchase a field motion generator and remote control from Tudor. These motors are quieter. It may also be that the rivets used to mount the motor are loose. You can tighten it by placing cardboard between the motor and playing surface.

Awesome Fix!!! Thanks for posting the pics.

AKA 'the electric slide". It is a common practice in electric football to give the ball carrier the yardage gained after the switch is turned off. I play a form of "forward progress" where the ball carrier is not down until his forward progress has been stopped. If you wanted to give the home team an advantage, then have the home team use forward progress and the visiting team play by any touch tackling.

Yeah, probably why they never performed that well and were replaced after one year of production, leading to the production of the TTC bases.

Yes, that is probably the best way, takes some skill though. I would be interested in knowing how that turns out. I do have a bunch of TTQB's I need to try that on.

Terry A Redden recently shared this pic of his 5 year old granddaughter playing with his vintage electric football players and game.

To me that's the best part of electric football. you can run the same play against the same defense over and over and will never get the same result.

The 620 with the alternating greens on the playing field is the 1970 National Conference Game came with Cowboys and Rams just like what you have. Yellow end zones is American Conference. Player configurations were sometimes altered depending on what figures were available. Cowboys' uniforms have several variations in pant and helmet colors and the logo. They are hog leg. Molds had to be replaced after so many production runs. so yes, you won't always find Hong Kong on them. Good luck trying to reglue arms and legs. Usually doesn't work out to good. I just put all my broken players into a separate pile for other "artist" display projects or keep for reference purposes.

I think the bag was intended to put all the accessories in. Teams, bases, rule book, scoreboard, and accessory sprue. Have a couple of them. They make great artwork to display. if framed and hung on the wall.

They are the Pre-Painted Skin Tone (HT-11-PP) figures. Uni-form teams. Cool looking. I will eventually apply the uniforms, but may take awhile.

In My Opinion, Double Elimination Tournaments make the best use of large multi-team solitaire leagues. First rounds are a bit time consuming to get all the teams at least two games in but then it doesn't take long to work in the later rounds. Once it gets down to 4 teams, I usually just go to single elimination. Don't like the idea of having to play an additional game for the championship. But I also allow games to end in a tie in the earlier rounds. The best thing about solitaire is that you can do things anyway you want. The main thing is to "just have fun and play the game".

Look what arrived today!! Thanks to Dogfish Head Brewery for the donation!!

So, I found a website for the company that made these. They are still in business. I sent them an email to see if they have any information on it. Hopefully they will have something.

So, I found this article in a past issue of "Plugged IN!" Was wondering if anybody has one of these.

Gridiron Buzz Network or get one from ITZ Bases – Championship Products for Electric Football, America's most popular tabletop sports board game!

Not really much to say since I don't have an Ultimate Game Board nor have I played on one. The sag in the middle can be advantageous in keeping the players from running out of bounds when headed down the sideline. Obviously, the sag is caused by the size of the playing field without enough support to keep it from sagging. I have always thought placing the motor in the center of the field would be better, but no matter where you place the motor, you are going to have areas where the vibration is stronger that usually results in more players falling over in that area. Weighting the figures is the best way to keep them from falling over. Performance of the figures is dependent on many factors most of which come from the condition of the game boards. The bigger question is are you enjoying playing despite these issues or are these issues enough to keep you from enjoying the game.

I actually like the white of the current Haiti Repro figures (HT-11-W) A much cleaner and brighter white than painting and saves time when painting. Kind of wish Tudor would produce some Haiti Repros with the amber plastic that they used to use. Always liked those teams, also. About the only time I use the grey primer is on the red Haiti-Repros.
