Topic: Tournament Soccer Million Dollar Game question

Hi everyone.  I stumbled across this site during my search for some info on a foosball table that's been in the family for 20 years or so.  I believe it's from the 70's judging by the design.  Just curious if any of you have any information regarding date, value, or where I could get parts for it.  Not sure if this pic will show in here or not but feel free to email me and I'll send them.



Thanks!

Tyrow,

The TS brownies were out from the second half of 1978 until the company's demise in 1981. Other than the one Tornado man on the 2 rod, it looks to be in great shape for it's age. Those rods have been known to rust pretty quickly and if the only broken man that had to be replaced was the one on the 2 rod, it probably didn't get much use/abuse.

The problem with the home models is that they are very light, making serious play difficult. There are ways to add weight but most would opt for the heavier styles of home cabinets or simply get the coin-op. As for value, you may find someone who would offer $100 or so for the parts to fix up a beat up coin-op, but unless you find a collector looking for that particular lightweight cabinet and the brownie design yours has, I wouldn't expect anyone to pay much more than $100-$150. Do you have any of the TS stamped white balls? That is the rare item some collectors would pay $$$ for. Check out www.JacksonvilleTableSoccer.com/page13.html for some other pics, including those hard to find balls. Each picture enlarges so click away and enjoy!

Oh, parts can be found on this website (Foosball.com) along with some others.

Take care..................................Tyler

Thanks Tyler.  That was very helpful!  I don't have any of the original balls unfortunately.  The table is in decent shape but there are certainly some parts that need to be replaced.  I'll check out the website you mentioned.  Thanks again!
