Brighouse table?

Brighouse were the dogs bollocks in Table Football machines in the late 1970s, bar none (no pun intended). Don't care what the Frogs or Italians say, their tables were gash. And my Nottingham pals got into the World Championships one year:)

Brighouse

Were they actually made in Brighouse, one of the biggest toilets in England?

Were they actually made in Brighouse,

I am pretty sure they were as a matter of fact, yes. In the 19702 every student bar throughout Britain had Brighouse tables, and I seem to remember the stamping on them. They went bust in the 1980s :( I was offered a table in mint but for 600 quid so that never got off the ground, but the shots you could pull off and the richochet rifle shot sound was ace.

The engineering and quality of the bars plus men were second to none. Happy days.
Nop other table came close

I used to play quite a bit in a pub here, though I was never any good at it. I just couldn't master the art of flicking the ball very hard, though I could defend pretty well.

Akin to the backhand wrist-rattle in ping pong..... timing the muscle contractions.... the greatest pub game ever invented, but real dedication needed, and the old A Levels suffered as a result :((

Another ex Russell Square Infants' School inmate here. I've bought and am restoring the Temple to my Mis-Spent Youth that is a Brighouse table. I've discovered that though built in Brighouse till 1981 (a curse on Space Invaders et al!), they and the virtually identical Ruffler & Walkers were built with a lot of FASNA (Italian ) parts. I'm light of one major part - the ball-delivery cage that runs from the ball tray to the put-in hole (oh those reesty putins!) and if anyone knows of the whereabouts of one I'd be glad to hear from them on UK 07780842545

I believe that the Brighouse Table Football Company imported tables from Italy, made some chsnges to them and branded them as "Brighouse".
I think the tables they imported were either FAS or Fasner.

Or just play defence well? Much easier.
