Topic: How to Confirm Tornado is Legit?

[KCchuck]

Hi All:  New here & new to foos.  Read some info and opinions here to help me find a good used table.  How do I confirm if a table is really a Tornado, other than the playing surface markings?  Is there a model number located somewhere?  Can that be used to determine the model?  Thanks.

If you are unsure post pictures here and someone will help you out.

Sorry to be such a newbie but how do I post pictures here?  I have 5 jpg photos of it on my PC.  When I click the "insert image" icon, I thought it would prompt me to browse where the jpgs are, but it doesn't.

I will quote from Tuna himself...

doesn't cost anything to start a picture account on a number of sites I use Yahoo's Flickr
http://www.flickr.com/

after you post your pictures there...you can just provide a link for us to go to or if you want to show the pictures on the board you go to your pictures, right click on one (not opened) and select Properties, then copy the http address - it will look like this
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3429/3881746455_36ce2ddf66_m.jpg

this will also show up as a link, as you can see while you read this, and a person can link to the picture that way

any, if you want to show the picture here, then keep reading

you then highlight it and select the picture Icon above...it is the Icon just below the B for Bold - "Insert Image"



anyway, just an aside, but that is a picture of the new bearing on a 30th Anniversary Grey Marble my friend owns...i will give you some more pictures including the handles in another post

OK.  Here are the photos.  I bought this for $200 and it is in good shape.  Anybody know what Tornado this is?  The legs are removed and the top is just resting due to breaking it down for moving it.  And bbtuna, I am from KC, but have not been to Sharks  .  Thanks All.

Chuck- SWEET you scored a Brown Marble T2000 Coin-Op!! $200? GREAT DEAL! By looking at the Serial #'s appears to be a possible 89' model....I see a few wraps on the handles this table most likely saw some tournament play and looks to be in great shape. Good find and if you need upgrade or replacement parts buy them here on foosball.com. Tuna's right there are some great players at Sharks if you feel the need to expand your foos skills.
