Got full set of Warrior players professionally rimmed for Tornado 5/8 rods.
Full set of Tornado Commercial grade rods (brand new).
8 Fireball Split bearings
Full set of Fireball rods (silver) with Tornado Players.
Full set of Warrior Players (blue and red era)  rimmed for Fireball rods.
Full set of German Lettner L4 16mm rods, best German Steel.
Full set of 22 Leonhart Counter balanced players with screws.


Peace

I don't mean to hijack...but I was wondering if the Fireball rods have the same spacing between the men as tornado.  Are the Fireball rods tougher than commercial tornado rods?

The spacing of the players are the same!!! The Fireball (black rods) heat treated rods are know to be on of the toughest rods ever made. Hope that helped.

Sorry for the off topic question but this is my first time on the site. Maybe you can help me with how to post a new question. Also, the question I am wondering about, How to change out a wood handle on a Tornado coin op? Any videos? Have read that cracking/splintering is a problem. Thanks for any help.

It was a learning experience for me. I have a few tips that could help you.

You must use the correct tool - http://www.amazon.com/Tornado-Foosball-Roll-Pin-Punch/dp/B001024X2S
Push the rod in as far as it will go
Use a rod support block (or something similar) to keep the rod in place
Turn the handle so one of the holes faces up
Hold the handle and Pin Punch with one hand and gently hammer with the other
If possible, use light taps throughout

When replacing the handles, follow the first three steps again, then:

Situate the handle on the rod
Guide the Pin Punch tool through the holes on the handle and rod to hold it in place
Spin the handle 180 degrees so the open hole faces up (the Pin Punch should stay in place)
Carefully center the Roll Pin over the open hole
Gently tap the Roll Pin into the handle until only 1/8" remains
Remove the Pin Punch (if it didn't fall out naturally)
Use the Pin Punch to tap the Roll Pin into position

I hope this helps you!

Thanks for the quick reply.I should have pointed out that I have had tables before but just wondering what type of support to use to prevent bending the rods.I also have the pin driver and extra parts.But thanks again for the reply.

I use one of these with a rag to prevent any table surface scratches.
