Posted last week about a Tornado Twister table I picked up for cheap and finally getting to do a little refurbishing. First up, the rods had a lot of surface rust on them so I tried the aluminum foil and water trick and WOW did that do the trick!

Rust is GONE! Wear marks are still there but nothing can be done about that.
Also used some 303 Aerospace Protectant on the bumpers and they turned out very well too;

I got my order in for new handles as well, so bye bye broomstick handles and hello new fangled plastic/rubber whatever handles! Now I need to clean up the playfield, build a ball return, and put things back together.

Pulled off each guy and gave them a good bath with dishsoap and water - they cleaned up nice as well.
Waiting for action;
