What are the differences between this table and the B-90? Is it worth buying this to train on for actual Bonzini tournaments or will it still be a massive adjustment. I guess it must be closer to the actual B-90 than any other table I can get my hands on, but for that price it has to be pretty close. Any thoughts?

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the only difference is the color. If you go to the Bonzini USA website, it's called the B90-rustic model. Their both B90.

Will17,
That table and the B-90 are the same.
From the pictures, this table has legs that match the cabinet which is not standard on the U.S. B-90 rustic model.
$3,000.00 Ouch!
With a little modification to the mens feet and the addition of leg levelers, you could have a good tournament quality table minus the heavy legs.

Another thing to note is that the ball return is on the left side of the table (goalie area) whereas the tables imported by Bonzini USA have the ball return on the right side, closest to the 3 rod. Doesn't affect play any, but different from the ones usually found in the US.

Good eye T-man.
That and a $3,000 price tag are the big differences.

Alan,
That is a nice looking table. I noticed the legs have a rustic finish as well and I was wondering if that was common in some markets or a special order deal. It might answer part of the $3000+ pricetag.

Nice looking table and not a bad price.

You damn Bonzini guys just kill me. Just buy a tornado and play Bonzini occasionally.... it will make you a better Bonzini player, hehehehehehehehe.
That was funny huh Becky.

You so funny Ice. You know you want a Bonzini table. :)

Ice,
You buy a Tornado this year, they change the man or bumper next year, change the cabinet the following year. My new T-2000 has dropped about $600.00 in purchase value. My B-60 has appreciated $900.00 since 2000.
Bonzini hasn't had a major design changed in 50 years. None that would require a completely new table purchase.
Anyone still play TS, Stiker, Dynamo, ProSoccer, etc. because of the fascination of the table?
No, because the U.S. player base is for sell. We are witness to that on the other board.
The true Bonzini player doesn't have a price tag. Can't buy them, can't sway them cause they're too busy exploring and defining their own mark on the game.
Iceman, come from the darkside. Break away from the evil. There is a Bonzini player deep inside you. Just come to terms with yourself and enjoy Bonzini foosball while there is still time.
And for the onlookers that think I'm hammering on ICEMAN, forget it.
Ice is #1 in my book and I enjoy razzing him some.
Take care Iceman.
