RetroACTIVE:
Picked up a free working 4p Atari Football today.  Got to give credit to my wife, as she found it for me.  I wasn't looking for one she came acrossed it through a friend at work.

Monitor is in GREAT shape!
Trackballs are toast.
Game needs some cosmetic work along the edges.
Has not been hacked up inside, eveyrhing original.
Serial #879

Pics coming...

Sounds like a nice free score dude... but more impressive to me is the concept of a wife who not only allows her husband to bring big bulky arcade machines into the house, but also goes out and finds them for him!

ChadTower:

Ooh!  Nice one!  That's one of the trackball handeaters, yes?   ;D

Spyridon:
Nice score.  I used to love playing the 2 player version and would love to own one.  I never played the 4 player.

Free was an incredible deal.  The 4 player units have been going for a lot of money lately.  One in great shape sold last year for $2K and I think another one that needed a bit of work went for something like $800 or $1,000.  Also, ThisOldGame is working on the artwork for this game.

Edit: Here is the story(and some pictures for reference)

Nice grab -- a local BYOACer rescued a 2P from the curb some years ago and, after realizing that he wasn't going to do anything with it, passed it along to me last year (and I haven't done much except disassemble it and rebuild the power supply).
