Topic: New member Hello with Harvard Table

[foozer123]

Hi, New here to foosball.com and wanted to say hello to the members.  Hope to play some of you someday.  Live in Aurora, CO originally from east coast.  Been playing for a few years doing (championship of the world) (joking) at the house with friends for fun.  Usually play 3 games at a time. (Best of 3, 5, 7) 
Also do a three ball game for fun.  It doesn't require skill as much as it is just for fun.

Anyway, Have a old Harvard soccer table model #GO1900 purchased back in 2001.  Does anyone have extra players of the red color?  Have 4 broken guys that the glue and tape are not holding well anymore.  Figured I'd ask in case anyone had extra ones or knew how to get them.  Sears doesn't have them anymore as far as I could see online.  Other than that the table is still in good shape and fun to play.  Use the soccer balls as they can get a good spin on them.  Also I use Pledge(cleaner) to make the guys spin and slide at full speed.  Works really well.

Will make it to the Championship in Denver in October even if just to watch.  Will try and check in here every few days, and if you are in the Denver area and want to play for fun, just reply here.  Have 2 other friends that like to play almost every day. 
Cheers

go to your local billiards shop or check out here maybe:

Unfortunatley, you're likely to have continuous issues with that table especially the figures breaking and the playfield having issues...

If your handy you could likely mount warrior 5/8" figures on it and use a tornado ball to get a huge improvment...

hackjob,
thank you for the links to get replacement men for my table.  I also ordered the soccer style and grip type(tornado) foosballs.  Your links were excellent and exactly what I was looking to order.  You are correct as the red men seem to break so easily as compared to the white men.  Luckily the table playfield area is still near perfect.  Just wanted to give you a big thumbs ups.  Thank's again.
