I read BBtunas thread
(http://foosball.com/forum/index.php?topic=2704.0)on different types of tables...and still cant ID it because of conflicting information. BTW, thanks for that info...so valuable.
Its dark wood mahogany color so, ill assume its....Cherry or Mahogany 2001 - 2003...
...but, it says product of Valley, as per..
30th Anniversary Grey Marble - 2003 release, only out during 2003
You can tell if it is a 30th Ann model because it will say 'Product of Valley' under the logo on the table surface.
This table really starts a wild string of table changes which are hard to document and follow but let me take a stab at it.
I guess im just curious if its a 2003 and a 30th, even though not grey marble

All and all its was a good experience, I got to choose between 3 identical tables. This one had a glass cover, which I let him keep. In return he gave me a bearing wrench, a balanced man and 15 balls. This did cause screw holes on the top but its easy to recover. I took the advice from this post...

Everything was in good shape except a little bit of a bent 2-man rod....he even threw a blank in for freeplay!
Anyways, havent played foos in 20 years, but excited to get back into it. Give me an honest opinion of what you think. I paid $750, but im in Northern Alberta and shipping is insane..nm there are no Tornadoes around. It was this or a Tornado Classic home for $1400.
