Board dillema
I am ready to step up my game and my commitment to this hobby. I have a Super Bowl board from the mid nineties, and realize that there are much better boards. I have been watching ebay for many months and can't tell the small 620's from the regular and I don't want to get a board that is small or too flawed to fix. I have read many bad review of the "new" 620s, with only a few favorable, so that seems like a bigger risk than a used one. I would love to build my own board as I am quite capable of the painting and design, but I can't find any motors and hate to tear up a usable board just for a motor. Please help me come to some solid insight into all of these choices. Thank you for any responces.

If you are not looking to get a BIG field yet which can cost upwards of $200 then buy an old 620 from Jeff. Thats a great deal and you will have a very servicable field that is still used in most tourneys. If you look at the TAEFL post from this last weekend you will see all old 620's in use.

I have 2 of the old 620 's. I also have a 655 or 665 ? I will have to check on the number of it. The 620 I have , I bought from Guttman about a year or so ago. It is a great board , I just have never used it.

Hi gridironpainter,
Greetings to you. My name is John but I am better known as Coach J in the hobby. This is your first post so let me say welcome to the chatboard. You have come to a good place to get your electric football questions answered. Both the older 620 and newer 620 are good boards. I purchased one of the newer 620's about two months ago and I don't have any complaints. The older 620's are good boards as well but you need to know how to deal with the potential crowns. Fortunately the crowns on the older 620's are very easy to correct. As someone said previously Reginald Rutledge is a good person to contact when it comes to building boards. Hope this helps. Have a good day, feel free to ask any additional questions, and again welcome to the chatboard. John aka Coach J |
