I can barely remember the Atari Football that was at the arcade of my youth back in the day. I'm thinking it was a 4-player but can't be sure about this really.

I have a 2-player that was painted black by the previous owner. He'd printed two big white Atari logos and applied these to the sides. It doesn't look terrible, but it certainly doesn't look authentic. So of course I'm wanting to strip it down and make it look like new, again.

My big question-- which isn't answered on the KLOV page for this game-- is: were some factory models black or were they all woodgrain? And was the woodgrain all about or only on two sides?

Any help appreciated. I honestly can't remember what they looked like BITD, IF I ever saw a 2-player model at all.
 
Never seen non-woodgrain. If I restore mine with woodgrain, I'm thinking I'll have to go with Wilsonart/Formica laminate. I already have a black textured laminate, so the side panels will probably end up near 1/16" wider. May have to go with the 13/16 t-molding.

Would you mind posting a picture of you cab? I'd be interested in seeing an Atari Football with something other than woodgrain. Good luck with your restore.
