Is it possible that you played a conversion cocktail cabinet?  Could it have been a Missile command converted to Atari Football for instance?  Just a thought...   :dunno

Hummmm

I have just googled and had a look at a Missile command cocktail cabinet and I think the screen was the other way around :-\

Also because it was in 1984/5 ish... I don't think they would cut up a missile command cabinet would they :dunno

Where would be the best place to look for a Tehkan world cup cocktail cabinet for sale?

Operators did what they had to in order to make money. You're talking crash era, so cabs got converted all the time.
bkenobi:
There were a lot of cocktails out there around that time.  If the original wasn't making money, it would only take a few hours to cut it up and make it something else.  I was just thinking Missile Command because it already had a trackball.  I didn't look at the cab to verify it would match your description.
Daveeboy:
Looking through different tables this table would be a likely candidate if a conversion was made......

This would also explain why I remember the roller ball being under the screen, which did make game play a little more difficult due to the lack of space around the ball.
