New Table Build - Parts - Info Appreciated
FabMan:
NoOb here, a friend of mine is a recreational foosball player and has commissioned me to build him a table from scratch. This table will be built form steel and have an industrial look when completed.
Based on the information from my internet searches, I determined that the Tornado 3000 tournament table is a decent competitive table? I have ordered all the components I could find that are Tornado replacement or upgrade parts and will be starting the build soon. There are going to be some custom touches (custom machined players), but I want to make the table play like a Tornado when completed.
I'm hoping I can get some input from all of you on the forum since you are avid players, etc. I had my days in the 80's, hahaha.
Anyway, I anticipate I'll be posting often in this thread asking questions on dimensions, materials, quality of components, etc. I appreciate all of your feedback, (smart azz responses are acceptable as well).
Any suggestions or recommendations are welcome anytime!

Ok, first question: Anybody know what is the measurement from the bottom of the player toe to the top of the field?

Thanks Jim, I also found this;
It looks like a Tornado drawing since it has a 9/16" rod. That would make clearance of 3/8" I guess?

Tornado coin-op rods are 5/8".
