My guess would be around 1976. How do you like it's play?

That is the 1978 model I beleave.  76' was the $250,000 tour table?

awwww, what memories...I am pretty certain the one I practiced on was a Million Dollar Table and we got that in 1976 for sure because we used it preping for Worlds 1977

The writer makes a mistake and say it was the brown top.  But those didn't come allong for another two years.

We love the way it plays...Me and the Family and some old Friends have not even touched my Dynamo Table since I got this TS table last weekend....Probably because we grew up playing on a TS table...It looks just like the one I had back in the early to mid 80's and I got that one for free from a relative......It is a blast to play on!!.....

My memory must be failing me, I thought the bluetop in '78 had a regular surface, not a glasstop. I think I was at UMSL in '79-80 when the browntop TS took its place.

Thats's not glass.

This Table has the regular top on it and under neath the table it says made in Taiwan TS serial # 841

Thanks, I think most of the new Tornado are made in China. It is true?

Does anyone know where I can get replacementparts for this table?....The banked corners have some cracks as well as the white strip that runs along both sides of the field...the plastic rims around the goals are cracked or broken..the ash trays are gone.......thanks.

My bad, that must be a high shine on the surface--in the pics (to me at least) it looked reflective like glass. At least I was right about not remembering a glass bluetop surface, lol
