Have you ever seen one like this??

This is an old Budweiser Edition Foosball table from 1976. It isn't totally original anymore but I was wondering if anyone had any info on it. I know it is NPR but it is in my pool room, does that count?

Never seen one like that. Should have used bottles for the players, like the bud bowl guys.

It originally had the old school guys but I changed them out. I still have them though.

You got to have something for your opponent to do while your running out. GREAT TABLE!

I've never seen one in person, but are you sure it's an official table from '76. I don't ever remember seeing a three man goalie bar back then. All the foosball tables I played on back then, including my own, have only one man on the goalie bar. Unless you've actually owned it since '76, I'd have to say it isn't that old.[/url]

I was thinking the same thing,,,I don't remember a three man goalie w/risers that far back.....and I'm old...

The corner ramps were missing when I bought it ten years ago. I just put three goalies on instead of making new ramps.

There were actually several pieces missing so I improvised so it was playable. Glass, ball return, score keeper, .....

Pretty neat Speaking of old Bud stuff:

Do you have a plastic light up Spuds? That old round clear glass light that hangs from the ceiling with the Bud wagon and clysdales going around in a circle? What about that large light up white bud clock? There is an old room here that has all three

Very cool table. I always sucked at Foosball. Tell the wife to try the Huggable hangers, that's what mine uses.

I was thinking that could be the case. But without all original style parts, it's not worth as much as a collectors item. So as long as you enjoy it, that's all that matters.

That's kind of the direction I am going. I'd like to find replacement parts for it. I have never been able to find another one. I can't have the only one?

 

[ratcues]

I don't know what ever happened to it, but I bet the glass broke. Now that would be something hard to replace.

There's more maintenance to a foosball table than people think. I guess that's why there are so few of those old Budweiser tables around, bar owners like maintenance free. Once it requires repair, they throw it in the trash. It's a shame more of them didn't find a good home.

I can get replacement glass for it but there was a cost issue. I am in better standings now than I was when I turned 21 so I thought to either fix ti up or sell it.

I think this one may have been a coin-op. I'll try to get some better pics.
