Monday Night Football
Data East, 1989Here is a description. I bought this game and it was in a non working state. I found the main problems was a smoked coil and a bad mpu. I have since replaced the mpu with another one. Replaced the coil. And now the game plays. It’s beat up pretty bad. I have since looked for parts for the game and plastics but cannot find anything for it. So do I sell it as it is working? Or do I sell it with the mpu that needs fixed. Thanks in advance.

Two prices. One with the mpu, and one without. That way the buyer has the option.
Parts are hard to find for MNF. It took me a while to find the ramp decal. I really enjoy mine for me it is a keeper. We like to compete on pinball crue evenings score times football points.
If you have past your frustration threshold, I would think a working beater game would be the way to sell it.

It's a horrible game and should not be part of any collection. How about $300? 
Played it for the first time at TPF. Had a 45 minute game. Shots are very repetitive. Start multiball, shoot jackpots, drain down to one, repeat.
I like it, but have no desire to play it again after that.
I think the game is great, especially for an older game. It’s perfect for those nights when you just want a quick fix. Hitting multiple ramp shots in a row opens up the Super Bomb, which I find to be a tough shot on a timer for 1 million points. “B O M B, shoooot the bomb!” The music is midi-fantastic
. It sounds like the Hendrix version of the Star Spangled Banner when you press the start button for multiple players.
I brought the game to the school that I teach at and everyone is having a great time with it when we can sneak away to the Teacher lounge!
I just wish there was a playfield overlay for the game. I’ve noticed that a lot of people have replaced the ramp, but it looks strange because the play fields are almost always faded.
If anyone knows of a replacement that I’m not aware of, I would love to hear about it! I heard that CPR might be looking for rare/less popular playfields to print when they get their new printer online. I would be delighted to send mine in as a model if it meant that we could replace them in the future.
Quoted from tonyhoff1:It’s sold! Happy new owner for it.
Congrats, I am in a similar situation. Fixed one up enough to get it fully working (fix power supply, new LED, new LED display, a couple coils, etc. Like you, plays fine but needs more cosmetic love than I have available.
