Question
My father in law just bought me an old foosball table from a yard sale. The owner said it's 25 to 30 years old and it looks it. I'm not sure what brand it is. All it says on it is "Quarter Million Dollar Game" right on the center of the playing field. I did some internet searching and it seems this was common back in the day when foosball first became popular in the U.S. I was curious as to whether or not it is worth anything. It's in decent condition.

Answer
Hi Mike you got me on this one, I know about old machine but now these are old so things are getting ahead of me if you know what I talking about. Rrght now whit out looking I would say about 300 to 400.00. Can you e-mail a photo?
Thanks

Expertise

I am an expert on old coin operated machines, slot machines, trade stimulator's, jukeboxes, old arcade machines, etc. I have been identifying these for people who respond to my web site listed below, for a few years now. In almost all cases I am able to tell them about their old coin operated machines, the year, the value, and other general information about their machines. I do not know much about soda vending machines, coin banks, or scales, but I will try to help you with these if I can.

Experience

I bought my first slot machine, a .50 Cent Mills Black Cherry in 1969 and have been hooked from that time, I still have that Slot machine! Before that I found a open barrel full of old scraped jukebox wall boxes behind a restaurant, I wanted them all but never took a one of them. Anything that took a coin drove me nuts!
