Atari Football green monitor overlay interest list

Update:
So I finally got my football home and took a look. Apparently it had two pieces of green plastic taped on the tube with double sided tape. It was completely warped and shitty looking.

So if I can get pics or someone can send me there's temporarily. I can see if I can some stuff matched and ordered to see I can get some repros made to a similar size/shape/color.

If someone repros, I could use 2 or 3(3rd one I might try in a four player Atari Soccer as well....I think that would look pretty cool)! I wonder if soccer had them originally also? Hmmmm
 
If there's a way to do this repo...... (maybe with less warping?) I'm in for one. It's worth trying anyways. Thanks!
 
Its supposed to be a molded gel the shape of the CRT.. not film, which is why its prolly all wrinkled.
 
I've been looking into a very similar solution for G08 monitors that came with tinted plastic masks. Google either 'graphic film' or 'lense plastic' or 'optical plastic' and find a tinted plastic source. Once you have a sample it (hopefully) could be a case of heating it up and drape forming it over a monitor tube.
 
anyone happen to have one on hand to check the dimensions of the tube? i think IIRC they are 23" but need the correct (LxW) dimensions for the gel to fit!
 
i would be in for a 22" molded gel if some one was to repro them ......

this would be ones made like red baron, armor attack, star castle ....... not a gel sheet
