Hey guys,
I found this table outside at a neighbors house, and he was selling it for $20 so I couldn't resist. It's my first real table, loved the game for years, and hope to share it for many more through this table if I can keep it going. Here are some pictures:
I was wondering if anyone had any idea what it could be, it has no markings anywhere. The walls where the bearings rest are 1 1/8" :/ From everything I've seen all the replacement parts are for 1" or 1.5". These have screw type sides with a bearing in the handle side. The rods are 5/8". I've been searching and haven't really found the part I've been looking for. There's at least two on this table that need replacement right away, and it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to do a few more. Any ideas on bearing parts would be appreciated. The broken one looks like this, with the bearing part actually inside the already broken larger plastic part:
Also what kind of ball would be preferred on a table like this? The board is wood and sides are wood. I feel like the generic 'soccer ball' style balls would make a lot of noise and eat at the wood sidings like it already has. I'd like to use this table to it's full potential, any tips would be appreciated.
