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.

We would like to congratulate Cannon Ferrell on winning the drawing for the Electric Football Game donated by Tudor Games for the "Art of the Buzz" Exhibit. Check out the Presentation here: https://fb.watch/i-hSLlx9Qc/

Found it!! Made by Marx.

Very similar to this one made by Ideal.

This the one you talking about?

Haven't checked it yet. The switch has been removed, but it looks to be in fairly good condition. I will try it and see if I can get a video to post.

According to "The Unforgettable Buzz" Electric Football was adapted from a previous game made by Tudor using an electro-magnetic relay device, the vibrating electric horse race game which evolved from Tudor's 1937 Electric Auto Race. This is the game made from Patent # 2167985 Yesterday, I was able to purchase one of these games from an eBay seller located in Lewisburg, TN. Not only was it very rare to find one of these games but also from a seller not far from where I live so that I was able to pick it up locally and save on the shipping cost. This game now resides in the permanent collection of The National ELECTRIC FOOTBALL Game Museum.

Awesome!! Unfortunately, nothing from my very first Electric Football Game survived. I had the AFL Game with the Chiefs D and Jets W. I later added the Vikings W, Dolphins D, Raiders D, and Colts W. This was my solitaire league for about 4 years.

Yep!! Always interested in anything like this, especially uniquely painted like those are. I can make an interesting display out of anything.

Learned of the passing of another EF Legend. It was announced that Will Travers passed away yesterday. Will was very active in the MFCA and the TOC, a friend and mentor to many. He will be greatly missed.

So here is a kind of a history regarding this subject and how The National ELECTRIC FOOTBALL Game Museum came into being. I myself have a very sizable collection of ELECTRIC FOOTBALL games and figures. Like most of you, I do not have any one in my family that is interested in the game and hobby enough to leave it to them and with the fear that it all would wound up in the trash one day. I have a background in working with museums, fabricating and installing museum exhibits. My original thoughts were to donate my collection to a museum upon my demise. Either a toy museum or a children's museum. But when I retired over 3 years ago in 2019. I decided to start and build my own museum wholly dedicated to ELECTRIC FOOTBALL and preserving the history of the game and educating a future generation about the game and hobby. Rather than just be a private museum, I decided to set it up and organize it to be a 501(c)(3) charitable nonprofit museum so that people could make donations to the museum and so that their donations would be tax deductible. To date I have already received several game and team collections from various people. The museum is temporarily being housed in my home which while not officially open to the public, it is available for private viewings. The recent "Art of the Buzz" exhibit was my first public exhibition of the museum and has had a tremendous turnout, reinforcing my belief that having an actual ELECTRIC FOOTBALL Game Museum open to the public is a very realistic possibility and obtainable goal. So, like most museums, it will take the donations of others to be sustainable. That is why I often suggest to people making a donation to the museum. So, what is the best way to convey to your family members the wish to donate your collections to the museum? By specifying it in a will or at least providing them with the information to do so. The contact information for the museum is: The National ELECTRIC FOOTBALL Game Museum, 1413 Bern Drive, Spring Hill, TN 37174 Website: nefgm.org Email: nefgm2019@gmail.com Phone: (615) 587-0193 Chris LeMay, Founder and Curator
