Electric Football has another television commercial from the past to ad to its lineup. This was forwarded to us by sportswriter and fellow Electric Football aficionado Greg Eno. It’s from Gib Shanley’s Quarterback Club, which was a Cleveland Browns’ review show that aired weekly during the NFL season. This episode was from December 8, 1971, covering the recent inter-state rivalry game with the Cincinnati Bengals.  

Gib Shanley plugs A Tudor NFL Electric Football game on television during the Cleveland Browns’ Quarterback Club.

The ad comes on at about the 1:20 mark, although the entire clip is worth watching to get a real feel for the era. Featured is a regional version of the Tudor AFC 610 model with the Browns and the Bengals. The game is being sold at “Uncle Bill’s” — one of the show’s sponsors — for the truly bargain price of $10. What an amazing piece of Electric Football history!
