Probably (not sure)1970’s-80’s most likely used in arcade setting, coin-op glass tabletop, single goalie, dark wood (not white) sloped corner & edges.
“Gatos” written at red goal on the green playing field , no other identification marks on or in, HEAVY, plywood & real wood combo construction with four ashtrays (ne each corner,) traditional red & blue men counterbalanced and held to solid (non-hallow) rods with screw/bolts.
Men are all original, good condition, square toe with hash, glass top is in excellent condition. Original balls are smoothish.
I’m wondering what kind it is, what a fair price would be to offer, and where OEM parts can be found if one of these little dudes breaks.
I’m trying to think of anything else that could help ID it...
It has tin/metal internal ball return which makes a very distinct sound as it rolls 😊
All 8 Rods are straight, black molded grips.
Scoring is a slide of red/blue cubes and the abacus is located in the R-hand inner wall behind goalie instead of centered on top.
I’m trying to attach a picture but am finding it difficult...probably because I’m on my phone...

Never seen that table before but it isn't worth much, maybe 30-50 bucks. Doubt you will ever find parts for it given its age. There were a bunch of tables made in the 70's by various manufacturers that went out of business. I'm guessing this is one of those.

So you’re saying I can only make it better 😂!
That’s pretty awesome because I was considering putting some really cool new wood engraved sides on and upgrading some parts.

Absolutely! Just because it's not worth a bunch doesn't mean you can't make it awesome. I've seen some really cool custom stuff done to tables. Post pics of the progress. We need some new content around these parts.
