Need help IDing this table:
http://ghostloads.com/
I've got 14 pics up, including the serial number plate.
I waiting about 6 months for a good deal on a table via Craigslist, that was clean and solid.
I finally settled on this one, but it seems to have to wacky stuff going on, like the all black men with red/blue pads.
Any help would be appreciated.
A general value would be nice info also, even though it's not that important, since I'll be keeping the table for personal use.
Thank you!

It is a shame but it looks like someone drilled out the roll pin holes so they could put those men on. I think new rods and men would be close to $400.

Looks like a nice brown marble, TP. Hope you didn't pay too too much, but it's likely a pretty good table if the playfield is flat. http://www.southernfoosball.com/images/TP2000-1.jpg
I'd guess the holes were not drilled out... usually the nut / bolt fasteners chosen have a similar tolerance to the roll pins on tornado hollow type rods... I bet the guy got a deal on knock off tornado figures... and the bolt was necessary to attach them.
Regardless, as bolt115 has suggested there could be a problem from tolerance "slop" or unusual wear. If your interested in upgrading, I'd recommend buying a sample of the current tornado figure and roll pins to see if you can mount them solidly.
I wouldn't be too concerned about buying a new set of figures, you will get the modern foot style and the resin will be more elastic/robust. Conversely, you could likely find used "old" tornado figures for really cheap on ebay... myself, I have a dozen or so in a box from my recent upgrade... I suppose I keep them in case I come across someone or a table in need.
