Topic: Bumpers- Replace or Clean:

[Flair]

Hi,

I recently purchased a T2000 in fair condition. I have replaced the rods but the men and bearings are in good shape. 2 of the bumpers were cracked but the other ones are a little dirty and some  had to be pried from  the men. Should I replace the bumpers or can I get away with just cleaning them? If I can clean the bumpers, would anyone know the proper way I should clean them? What signs should I look for specifically to determine if the bumper should be replaced or cleaned?

Thank you

Soak the bumpers in warm soapy water, scrub a little with an old toothbrush, rinse, and then wipe them off. If they are cracked, replace. They only cost a couple of bucks each so order a few extras to store inside your table along with a few extra men of each color and roll pins. Nothing worse than having to stop playing for a few days while you wait for a replacement bumper or man to arrive.

Awesome! I will do that now. Many thanks!
