We have 2 Tornado tables.
The front table in the pic is a Whirlwind. We bought it used but I think it’s just a few years old. We are not sure what model the table in the back is, but it’s around 10 years old, has a lower profile case, is lighter, the legs are longer & bolted in from the sides with 3 bolts. They are both used a lot and are in need of new parts.
Upgrade: Neither table has the side strips on the playing surface so we think that would be a good upgrade option. Is there anything special we need to know before we do this?
Upgrade: We also want Counter Balanced players, at least for the 5 & 3 man rods. This kit on e-bay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=400090919079 seems like it covers most of what we would need, but I am not sure if that vendor is the best option. Does anyone have any other foosball vendors worth checking out?
Repair: Can anyone confirm what are the best options for replacement bearings? We want to upgrade all of them on both tables. I believe there are 3 different styles available, but all 3 may not fit on our tables. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Repair: Replacement Rods, just looking for a vendor for these as well. I have done some searching on Google and compared all the companies on the first few pages. I just want to know if there are other vendors out there that are not showing up on Google.
Repair: Is there a solution for chips around the goal mouth?
Thanks in advance for your time and help,
Greg
