Hey foosball experts...
I recently inherited a very lightly used Tornado Elite table. I used to play a bit in college, but not since. Taking this as an opportunity to get my kids into the sport.
The table's in great shape, not a scratch on it, it plays really nice. However, the playing surface has started to come away from the platform beneath it.
I know nothing about these tables, or how they are constructed. The play field appears to be a ~1/8" flexible surface (melamine?), laying on top of a much thicker (3/4"?) wood platform. It does not appear to be glued or fixed to the underlying wood in any way.
After being in my house for a few weeks, the play field has started to bow up in the middle. I can push down in the middle of the playfield to flatten it out, but within a couple of minutes it bows up again.
Is the play surface supposed to be glued or laminated to the wood platform beneath? If so, can I remove it and re-glue it? Or is there some other mechanism in place to keep this from happening?
Thanks in advance for any help...

hey foosball pros!..just wanted to know how long can a tornado or warrior table last if it is always cleaned and covered. what is the first part to break or go?

The Tornado will outlive you. A few broken men, pins, and bumpers. The Warrior will last until you run out of wood screws.
