Hello my Name is Frank and i am from Germany. Last week i bought a foosball table which is old (i think ca.1970) and in verry good conditions.
So i try to find out the manufakturer of this table and asked in a german foosball forum, but nobody had a idea.
Maybe somebody of your forum could help me. On the table is a logo " Arizona Automation Champion Soccer". On the side there is a "Club" logo.
Also there is a "MADE IN WEST GERMANY" at the top logo. So i think it is not manufactured by Arizona Automation themself.
Sorry for my bad english.
Here are some Pictures.
Thank you very much
Frank

Wow, that table looks really familiar. I know where it came from.
From Wikipedia:
Mirco Games
was a
pinball
and
arcade game
manufacturer from
Phoenix, Arizona
that existed from 1969 to 1978. They were originally called
Arizona Automation
from 1969 to 1973 and then changed their name to
Mirco
in 1974 . They created the first
microprocessor
-based pinball table,
Spirit of '76
in 1975. Also copyrighted the name Champion Soccer ( Foosball Table) First imported from Germany,then in 1971 started manufacturing their own.
.
Both the Mirco table and the Championship soccor tables were popular throughout the U.S. Southwestern and Central States. I learned all of my banking skills on those tables. The foot is/was plastic and flexed. It was wide and with that wide/flexible foot you can get some real power. I see in the photo that the playing surface is smooth. The foosballs that originally came with the table were the grippy plastic with no texture but after playing awhile it would have nicks and cuts all over it.
Wow, a trip down memory lane. Hope that helps.

Hello Casey, thank you for your quick reply. I am looking for the german manufacturer who sent this table to Arizona Automation. I have googled a lot but cant find
anything. Could be "Automaten Förster", " Hellomat " or any other else from Germany. Maybe only the founders of Arizona Automation know :-(
Thanks a lot
Frank
