Greek table - Need 6 1/2" tall men
« on: February 22, 2010, 10:31:08 PM »
Hi all.

A few years ago, I got a Greek coin-op table from a friend in exchange for a case of beer.  
All of the writing on it is Greek, and I believe the brand name is Atlas.

I wasn't really a foosball enthusiast, but it was practically free, and I thought it might be fun.

The table is quite large, as are the men, and that leads me to my question:  does anyone make replacement men with the following dimensions?

Rod hole = 5/8"
Distance from center of screw hole to foot bottom = 4"
Total height of men = 6 1/2"

The table came with some spare men, but I have just 11 left that aren't broken, and I'd like to store them away.   The men seem to break right at the bolt hole;  I suppose that's common (?)  

These men have wood inserts for the feet, but I'd settle for all-plastic men.  

I've attached a couple pictures;  the playing surface is recent, and is basically just green arborite (counter-top material).  I believe the original playing service was a stained wood, but it was beat up badly (cracks & holes), repaired with wall filler and painted black by the previous owner.  The table was in pretty rough condition when I got it, but I managed to fix the coin-op mechanism (takes dime-sized coins), bang out some of the dents in the metal, etc.





Thanks in advance!

Slayer- Wow cool table, I bet that was major $ when purchased new. I have never seen anything like it. I would say you got the better end of that trade. Finding replacement parts for that might be tough. What kind of balls came with the table?

Thanks Snake

The balls are a little under 1 1/2" in diameter, and are made out of a hard, smooth plastic (?) of some sort.   The men are somewhat more soft.



I've attached a couple more pic's on the off chance anyone speaks Greek and can translate the text on the plaques..
