Sorry it took so long for me to reply – but the serial number plaque is at the end of the table, towards the bottom corner.
See pic…
Looks MORE complete then mine, unfortunately… ugh, but THANKS for the heads-up Stephen!!!
Lime green field with green rails, though… huh…
Over 16 hours and a 900 mile round-trip, (about $200 in gas alone), $100 table = way too much for me. Not sure if he would part it out or not but I guess I could inquire.
Also, I found some original IK yellow balls… do you think paying $30 for 5 yellow balls is a bit steep or not?
Wish Lusche would reply sometime soon so I could figure out what the ashtrays may cost… if not less then $300 at least I would hope.
Thanks again for the help (any!!!) – MUCH appreciated!
LoU! 🙂Could you please post the pics sometime soon – I have everything almost lined up and the pics and measurements would be very helpful for the estimate.
Also, would you be willing to send me just one ashtray to make a mold from it much easier and cheaper? If not, I understand…
. THANKS Lusche! MUCH appreciated!
By the way, have you started to restore it yet? Or making it a winter project?
Thanks again,
LoU! 🙂THANKS Lusche! MUCH appreciated! 😉

LoU! 🙂Thanks for your input Stephen. That’s what I thought about reselling them, but would still like to make a set for mine if possible.
Lusche, can you take a few pics of the ashtray removed and post them here? And if possible, measure it also.
I can contact a few metal places, and eMail them the info and pics for an estimate cost. Like I said, if it’s a lot of $ – forgetaboutit! LoL!
Thanks so much for your help,
LoU! 🙂Well, let me do some investigating to see how much it might cost to do this… if it’s $20+ an ashtray, then maybe not…
If you would be so kind as to take a few pictures, top, bottom, and at a side corner angle, measure the dimensions also and I will call a few metal shops around here to try to get an estimate for it.
I don’t know about the legal aspects, but maybe Stephen can enlighten us what he knows…. I dunno.
Thanks so much,
LoU! 🙂The “Silver SHADOW” was a pool table – I figured it out… nothing to do with foosball tables at all… oh well.
The Toury Model looks like the same color field as mine, and with green rails. And it is in good shape too!
Maybe I could “borrow” one ashtray and see if a metal-works place here could remold me some new ones!?! I dunno….
Oh well…
Thanks for the info Stephen! MUCH appreciated!
MAN, that parts catalog makes me wanna drool!!! I really wish those parts were actually available!!! Even the drink holders – TOO cool!!!
As promised, I have spent over 40 hours restoring mine, and here are the photos of it finished. STILL looking for ashtrays,the coin-op mechanism… AND now the drink holders!!! LoL! Good luck!
EnJoY!
LoU! 🙂OHHHH – I see…. it’s not the bar style… rather a home model! Wow – they had quite a line of them all…
GREAT find finding that photo!
That’s nice you have the 4 ashtrays. Mine has all the chains too, but nothing attached… I was wondering why they were just hanging there.
Took me about 30-40 hours to restore mine, so have FuN!!! Painted the legs, retouched the black in the goals, wire brushed off all the oxidation inside the metal ball ramps, etc…. it’s a LOT of work!
I will take some pics of mine. If you have smoke or nicotine buildup on the cabinet, I used an Orange Clean type solution and it worked wonders!!! I even cleaned up the balls to be white again by using GoJo Hand Cleaner! I also used soap and water with an old toothbrush to scrub up the men. I didn’t wanna use chemical based because of the hand painted men. Waxed the chrome bars and the playfield too. Got SUPER Lube for the bars and it works awesome!

If you wanna ever consider selling the ashtrays, or maybe just 2… lemme know! LoL! Oh well…
If you need any help, lemme know.
Thanks again,
LoU! 🙂I took the liberty of blowing up the photo a bit and color correcting it so it looks more “normalized”… The side rails look like they are the lime green color, and the brown hue is maybe from chrome reflection, etc… not a real clear shot of the field though.
Hope this helps!
LoU! 🙂Kinda hard to tell from the bunny photo – at a low angle and yes, it does look brown, but color photography back then and aging too…
So your table is green, and 3 color men… my middle row has some of those style, but the majority of them are 6 colors.
Does yours have the 4 ashtrays. If not, how are they “replaced”. It’d be cool if you could post some pics of yours.
Mine has a rectangular metal plate on the bottom left hand corner on the end, attached with 2 rivets, with a red “K-” printed and “21745” engraved as the serial number I would assume. There is some pencil and numbers freehand writing inside of my cabinet body, after you remove the play field, but no date written in mine.
I found over $5 in quarters, all, 1960-76, a hotwheel, marble, golf ball, whiffle ball, baby toy, and crayons inside of mine! LoL!!
Well, thanks for the reply! Hope we can figure some things out about these.
LoU! 🙂
p.s. Where did you find that photo – too funny!!!
HeLLo!
I hope we can find out some more info about these FoosBall tables.
The only other one I have seen is very different looking from mine. My guess is that it was manufactured later then mine because it looks more standard and the men are simplified.
It has a much darker deep green surface and the side ramps are green also. I also noticed that the men are also “simplified”, they are 3 colors, where mine are 6 (white bottom, flesh tone, red/blue, hair color, blue eyes and red lips) The men in the middle rows are also different.
So… not sure… anyone know?
Thanks!
LoU! 🙂
