Title: UPGRADES?? IF ANY
Post by: DAVIDINPHX on January 21, 2016, 08:43:26 AM

Hello all,
                    so my question is ...i have a tornado storm 2 that ive owned for years , i was wondering if i could upgrade the rods or bearings. It is an older model ( doesnt have the leveler legs)  any help or tips would help. also not sure on the sidewall dimensions

Most would recommend just keeping an eye out for used coin-op....you can upgrade to heavier rods but the cost would put you in ball park for some used coin-op tables.  I think the storm 2 has snap in bearings....no good option for upgrading to split bearings

Well thats good to hear about the rods i wasn't sure if they would fit ...And yes ive been keeping an eye out for a coin-op ,just thought I'd fix this table up a little since it was free...

Actually some of the 1st run storms had split bearings, should be easy to spot as they are 2 piece hexagon style. If not I wouldn't invest the time and energy to try and retrofit as I've heard nightmares on this subject. Snake
