  1. 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/
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Yep!! Always interested in anything like this, especially uniquely painted like those are. I can make an interesting display out of anything.
  6. 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.
  7. 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
  8. YES, correct. The white team is the Rams 1969 White Jersey uniform. These figures are actually teams that I am painting for someone who is going to apply the helmet logos and jersey numbers to using waterslide decals. This painting project is part of a 26 team 1960's NFL and AFL project. I am just providing the prepainted teams without the decals. The interesting thing about the Rams is that during the 1969 season, they only wore their white jersey uniforms since they were one of only a few teams to wear white at home. They only wore their Dark jerseys once in a 1969 preseason game against the Chargers in San Diego.
  9. I always clear coat my figures after painting.
  10. Check this out!! Pryor Art Gallery | The Art Of The Buzz (matterport.com)
  11. Doug. I know someone else that was wanting a 9092 size game board. I would be interested in maybe getting one also.
  12. We certainly hope it isn't anytime soon. Please post some pics of your teams and I will glady add them to the website.
  13. Consider donating to The National ELECTRIC FOOTBALL Game Museum. One of the main reasons I created the museum is so that these collections do not just get tossed in the trash. https://nefgm.org/donate/ for more information.
  14. Here's an interesting new website. Ricks solitaire junior league electric football (rickselectricfootballfun.com)
  15. I don't know but I would think it would or at least come close. The section dimensions are listed in the details section of the item description. Tudor Stadium (tudorgames.com).
  16. If you ever come across those files, let me know. I can set you up a page on the nefgm.org website.
  17. If you are talking about the larger 9092 (36" x 18") pro bowl boards. I don't think Tudor is producing that size any longer. 620 is the model number of the old game boards produced in the late 60's and early 70's and the one produced by Miggle Toys in the late 2000's.
  18. Doug, looked like it was an awesome event. Hate that I wasn't able to attend. I watched the Championship game video. Awesome Game and congratulations to both Jimbo Dunagan and Jim Davis.
