How does the rosewood table compare to the other coin op models?
Thanks

the "cherrywood" (refers to the table made around 2001-2002 up until the 30 annys came out in 2003)
someone told me its basically the "30 anniversary model w/dark reddish wood siding" except,,, it had regular rods(cherrywood) vs heat treated rods(30 anny)

oher than that ,its the first time i heard of "rosewood"

I think I remember seeing someone use "rosewood" on these forums before, maybe bbtuna? The reason I wanted to know is because I'm thinking of buying one from a guy near me. I guess he used to have a league and he has six of these tables that he's selling.

he must be talking about the Cherry...no "rosewood" I have ever heard of but the person is probably just referring to the color, meaning "redish" and not the actual name or make of the table

I own a cherry and there is a VERY BIG difference between the way it plays and the Anniversary or any of the Grey Marble versions

these are coin-ops, how much does he want? 

I changed out one side with heat-treated rods and that improved play but the Cherry I think may have been the worst build of the tables---it is good enough build quality to last a life-time still but i have heard and i have seen more of those tables in terrible condition than any other

now, it is the fastest of all the table and that is fun..power and speed

anyway, not a bad table but you will want to change out for heat-treated rods as soon as you can so that is $35 per rod (probably don't have to do the goalies and the 5bar is optional)...

anyway, it really makes a big difference how much he wants...I have a good friend who discovered his neighbor had a good shape Brown Marble coin-op he was wanting to sell and got it for $350...now that is what I am talking about!!!!

I have mentioned before I just missed a Brown Marble for $250..DANG
