First real EF game.
 

Yes, for my birthday, I played an ef game against an opponent. Losing or winning I did not care. I was so happy with the performance of my big board and the players that I teak.

lot of fun ins't?? even if i better played on solo


Have any pics on this?

Take care, Benster cnd:$

Glad to know..
 

That you do play? I was missunderstanding your selling your boards as a profit in your pocket after spending all that time making that nice board. I thought you retired from play LOL.
I bet you had a blast on B-Day!!! Cocgrats pit!, keep'r going man!!

Selling
 

I did sell the first board that I have made. The one you see on the how to build a board post is my second one.

Improvement
 

I will improve my board. I will install a support on each end of the board to slide in a 3 x 2 feet plexiglass to keep the ball from flying all over the place when you kick it for field goal and extra point. Soon to be seen on the how to build a board post.

A Dark Green Mesh Net....
 

Would be a good idea too to catch the ball on kicking field goals. The frame could be made out of coat Wire hangers. By using 2 hangers, mold the wire frame to the edges on both sides so you can prop it on the edge easy, then squaring it off at the top to combine the 2 wires together, and stitch the net in between the square. that's what I did so I could see the ball in the air with the dark green net..

Coming to a retail store new you....
 

Huh!? nice!, I was wondering how your prop's to hold it up would look like..rfr$
I gotta Question on Rheostats.
sources say that there hard to come by these days?, is the volume " speed " control knob is extinct?
It's looking like I have to find a new way to get a volume control knob..
Let me know what else I could use if there not available anymore.. thmbsp$

what do you need ?
 

Do you need rheostat or the knob ? I can look around here if you want.

I'm Gonna Need'em...
 

Both. Don't go all out your way though, just when your free'ed up to help me out would be Fantastic!!
Looks like all my sources are recommending me to try other things..

Rheostats and Transformers
 

Radio Shack's rheostat craps out over 12v, so after smoking up the joint a coupla times, I just switched to a train transformer after reading this article:

and this one:

which led me to getting one of these on page 2 - the 1300:

Good Luck! thmbsp$

Interesting
 

I did have problem with the rheostat when I use four motors. With two motors they run fine. Personnally, I have been running my board for six months now and it is working great. It is true that the train speed control is an interesting avenue. There is also that avenue.
